The bones are soft enough to eat if you boil the egg at the right time.

Asians will typically eat anything that moves. Average white person will not touch duck eggs like so, fish eyes, chicken feet, intestines and other funky stuf we eat :D

Oh c'mon now, don't pull that crap. I have Scottish relatives who eat hagus *shiver* on a regular basis. I've seen my dad eat rockie mountain oysters, bugs, raw tuna heart (still quivering). They eat guinea pig in Peru, iguana in Mexico, snails in France. Hell, black folk over here eat chitlins like it's ice cream. Nasty-ass food knows no cultural boundaries, I can assure you.

My dad (he's white) has eaten so much nasty crap. I hate hearing his food stories from when he'd been in southeast Asia and India and crap. He's had balut.

Ok, I view this like escargot. If you haven't eaten in like a week... well, then it's fine... if you eat it and call it a delicacy... well, you must be nuckin futs.

Think I will stick to ground up, dead cow on a ground weed with yeast. :p

Pardon my ignorance but what is escargot ?
Click to expand...

escargot = Snail
It taste good too.

Hell asian people in asia even eat rats. It taste like chicken. Next time I go to asia I will be sure to get some rats to eat.

I my self think it is disgusting how white people eat eggs with ketchup.

For the non-Filipino, an adventurous spirit, a desire to explore the unknown and the ability to be open-minded are essential to the enjoyment of balut. A combination of saltiness and tartness, softness and crunchiness, a sensation of sweetness, the degree of resistance to the bite, the viscosity and stickiness are the rewards.

Haven't had one in a while, but they are bloody good, HAHA :D

But the duck inside the egg doesn't look like that picture, it's not enclosed in a membrane, from what i remember. It's just a whole, miniature duck. It's kinda cool cus you can feel the different textures of the duck, such as the would-be feathers and the bill.

timing is crucial in this delicacy. if you eggs that are too mature..youll be eating feathers and hard bones. but the bones that does exist in the ideal ones, its soft, comparable to sardine bones in canned sardines. the best part is the yellow yolk, the white thing is so rubbery. (sorry, im being kinda vague but for people that do have it, you know what im talking about.)

anyone know what week is ideal or optimal for consumption? i remeber a damn farmer sold us some really old eggs, it wasnt good!

if u knew how corporate farms raised pigs and cattle, u'd be begging for duck eggs

if u've eaten a American burger anytime before 1996 in the USA, then u've eaten BOTH cat and dog

the cattle industry had been LEGALLY buying dead cats and dogs from animal shelters, griinding them up, and then mixing it into cattle feed because animal proteins get cows fatter faster. it was banned in 1996, after the dozens of mad cow cases in UK

today they are still allowed to feed pigs, horses, and cattle to cattle, cattle too pigs, horses to pigs and well...

the cattle industry was still lobbying to allow them to grind up and feed cows their own spines as late as last december. of course they stopped lobbying after that little incident in december.

if u want to know what's in pigs, read fast food nation
