The second annual Balut Eating Contest hits the Big Apple on Aug. 3. Forget your typical hot dog or apple pie eating challenge. Balut is a fertilized duck egg that’s between 14 and 21 days old, on average. It’s hard boiled, cracked open and consumed warm. “It’s definitely got a beak, bones and some feathers,” explains Ponseca, of one of her favorite street foods back home in the Philippines. “It’s not your normal egg experience. Balut is messy. Built a bit like a parfait, you have the egg white at the bottom, the duck in the middle and then the yolk is in layers. There’s a broth that you sip like soup – which is most people’s favorite part.

Delicacy in the Philippines.

Can get them at most any area where there are stores catering to Filipino community in the US.
