Have You Ever Tried... (Jammie's Food Adventures #3)

Have you ever tried a duck's embryo, or so called balut or balot? :D

Well, if you don't know what balut or balot means, it's actually a developing duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in a shell. (Yes, you heard me right! XD)

Filipinos eat it; it's pretty popular in the Philippines, but other people and foreigners eat it as well.

It's may sound gross to some of you out there (yes, you! XD), but it's actually not bad at all! It's chewy and it tastes nice! :)

It tastes better if you put vinegar though~ :')

When I first tried it (when I was in 3rd grade), I was thinking: "EWWW! YUCK! Why should I eat this thing?! It's not even cooked yet! NOOOO wayyyy!!" and I even closed my eyes when I ate it, lol, I didn't even breathe when I was chewing it! XD

But I regretted it right afterwards because it was so YUMMMEHHH and I bought another one. HAHAHA. Yes, I bought ANOTHER one! :"D <3

But FYI, it's actually COOKED and it's YUMMY. It's not GROSS for me now. I actually love it and I terribly miss it~ Huhu, I want to go back to the Philippines so that I could eat it again. :( <3

So basically its a baby duck that hasn't fully developed yet and you boil it and then tap the top with a spoon, crack the egg open and eat it right? Yeah, I have. ^^ Now I feel gross.
