Hubby's First Taste of "Balut"

Friday, June 27, 2008

Hubby had his first taste of "balut" when we had our family trip to Las Vegas in June. The first time I went with him in Las Vegas was in March of this year and we went to this Filipino Restaurant. He loves the filipino dishes and wanted to go back again the next time we go there. He told me that the next time we go to the Filipino restaurant he would try eating "balut". he finally had his first taste of 'balut", although he only ate the yellow part of the balut and not the little chick inside but still he was proud of himself that he was able to taste it. I'm proud of him too, at first I was hesitant to let him try taste it coz I was scared his tummy would hurt but it didn't bother him at all. He said it taste pretty weird though.
"Balut" is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell.
