O man – nastyyyyyyy – I feel queezy – high five for the triumph though – gaaaa – just hearing you describe it is making me sick!

OH… u did it~~
i will never ever try this BALUT.

coz in my eyes,it really was kinda disgusting….

Anyway, … u made it…
~~~~

yea…..its not something i would do again…nor would i ask anyone else to do………..too extreme….stomach still not feeling right

well, Mike, i have to say i can’t agree with you this time. i think it’s wrong to eat this, and to be honest, i think it’s kinda moral crime. there is chiken in it, you know, so it’s like eating baby! there is such stuff here, too, but i feel it’s too cruel, even to think about it… i believe there should be certain esteem to life, even the life of animals.

Not sure if there is any difference between eating a balut and eating an egg. Its the same thing! Meaning both would be crimes if you look at it that way.

But its not. An egg is an egg. It would be same as eating pork or beef – which isnt a crime or immoral – or is it now?

Hey Nigel…..
yes, well, you eat a chicken right? And you eat an egg? So this is in the middle….

it is rather crazy…..but what is the difference if you eat both eggs and chickens….

don’t worry- you don’t have to translate this to Chinese if you don’t want to.

and…I am not going to eat this one again. yuck!!

hey Mike,
haha, replied to Nigel’s comment before seeing yours, yes, I agree…..

but its still DISGUSTING….. do you eat these?

wakakakakakaka u r sick!!!!!!! stop eating babies!!! aaaaaa

we got that in hk too but its a duck. n not many r having it now, it prob dies down.

ur look’s just like my fren whod urchin. but balut’s way more disguesting!!!!

mike, how does human taste like????

its also a gd way to lose weight….but id rather wear bikini whole day then eating this kinda gross ‘food’……

hey Lammy…..
i’m sure there will be food in germany you won’t like….will you refuse to eat that when you are traveling?

sorry, not gonna eat a human baby……don’t care if they do in some country in this world…ok?

and i think i’ve gained weight since being in the Philippines….but i think its cuz of so many fast food places here, and TACO BELL, ahah

told u i luv german sausages hohohohohohohoho

hmmm, Lammy, i’m not going to go in the gutter here.

I give you credit Mike! All my life I’ve heard of that and couldn’t even think of myself eating one. I even visited there and did not have the courage to do so. You actually went there and did it within a month. Talk about complete submersion into local culture and being open minded…

thanks Nelly!!!
yae……i keep telling myself we only live life once….but man that was disgusting stuff!!!!! wont eat it ever again

Actually, it’s a duck egg – not chicken. It actually tastes fine (with salt) once you get over the disgust/pity over the developed embryo. Just avoid distinguishing the anatomical parts and see it as one whole chunk of food. I used to have difficulty eating it as well, especially with all the tiny bones.

I don’t know why it caused an upset stomach. I’m sure some things aren’t supposed to be eaten with it, but maybe it’s just a placebo effect.

Hey Jarvis,

how did this come about anyway I wonder? Yes, many people correct me and it is DUCK egg…..

So you eat them often…..I just wanted to say i tried once…..never again for me.

hahaha…its really funny..getting drunk first to dare ate the BALUT…but why you did not ate the chick?..that is the most delicious part of BALUT..hahaha

but you got a nice try..eating that is not easy..
cutie face on your pics..really..
sorry but its really so funny..

but the challenge is to eat the 21 days BALUT, remmember..LOL

Yaneiell,

21 day! they actually have that????? o man…..i can’t do that then…i’ll lose our bet then

still proud of you..not everyone can do that..your the man..LOL

they tell me now…..that there is no such thing as 21 day!

Going to be trying this probably next week. Wish me luck.

damn bro!! best of luck…..i almost threw up after.

Awww. I think thats pretty cruel of the filpinos to eat such a thing. I think it’s worse than eating an adult chicken. It’s like eating an unborn baby, that is almost ready for life, just 3 more days, and it would have been a little chick. Plus, eating one of those sounds DISCUSTING. I don’t know how you managed to do it. My opinion of “balut” is that it is immoral.

yea….maybe its just culture over time……it starts hundreds of years ago, and when you are young you get used to the tastte..

i think every culture has things other cultures think is disgusting…

but then again….eating a duck that is about to hatch…
