farmount and a couple of others asked what Balut was.......
farmount:"E-mail me with the gory details. You know me; I could be eating dinner and still not get squicked out. Used to eat lunch during parasitology -- if that doesn't bequeath one with an iron stomach, I'm not sure what does. "
Yes, but how much do you remember from embryology??
Balut, (or Baalut), is a fertilized duck or chicken egg that's allowed to get to about 1/2 to 2/3ths of the way though the development process. It's then buried in the ground, soft-boiled, or pickled. Also called the "Treat with feet" or the "egg with legs"
Supposely eaten by the following instructions:
1.Take a freshly boiled balut in one hand.
2.Make sure you have the "flat" bottom of the balut facing you and tap it lightly on any hard surface until you see hairline crack form on its surface.
3.Remove bits of shell until you have a cavity the size of a penny. 4.Inside the cavity you will find a paper-thin film of white tissue. Remove this. 5.Drop in a pinch of rock salt, place the opening to your lips, tip your head back and slurp up the broth. Delicious.
6.Widen the cavity by removing more bits of shell until you have enough exposed to be able to bite off a sizeable chunk of the balut. Don’t forget to sprinkle more rock salt.
7.Go on eating until you get to the bato (rock) or the hard white portion. Discard.
8.When you get to the bottom, there will be a little more broth left over. Drop in a minute pinch of salt and drink up.
