WOuLd YoU Eat IT


The Hard to swallow question.. "would you eat it".. i once worked with a chef who asked that question everytime a girl walked into the room..well this ones for you bruno hahha "would you eat it?????????? Balut !

A balut is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.These fucking things are awful but Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein,yummm id rather eat an egg white!what a hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors in the regions where they are available. It is commonly sold as streetfood in the Philippines. They are common, everyday food in some other countries in Southeast Asia, such as in Laos and Thailand (where it is called Khai Luk), Cambodia (Pong tea khon in Cambodian),[1] and Vietnam (Trứng vịt lộn or Hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese). They are often served with beer.." ill have one duck fetus and a saporo please"..give me a break.. what happend to a nice hard boiled egg sandwich.


Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the embryo inside.  eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold, and eaten. Vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand used to retain the heat.. you ready for more or would you like to go throw up yet. im one to try everything once and i like some weird shit, even as a chef i cannot stomach this one.

The age of the egg before it can be cooked is a matter of local preference. In the Philippines, the ideal balut is 17 days old, at which point it is said to be balut sa puti ("wrapped in white"). The chick inside is not old enough to show its beak, feathers or claws and the bones are undeveloped.. "oh good to know"

The Vietnamese often prefer their balut mature, just how i  like  my women.. from 19 days up to 21 days{in human years this is between 32 ans 40 im just sayin} when the chick is old enough to be recognizable as a baby duck and has bones that will be firm but tender when cooked. In Cambodia, it is eaten while it is still warm in its shell. It is served with nothing more than a little garnish, which is usually a mixture of lime juice and ground pepper, "well i like ime juice and i like pepper?

i am sorry if i have offended anyones culture but just after you put that lime juice salt and pepper on it drop it in the deep fryer for me!!
