Dissected Balut

So there we are after the Manila Flickr Party, hanging out with some Filipinos. The conversation turned to Balut, and before we know it, there they were on the table.

Yes, I ate it. It's actually not that bad at all - it tastes... ducky. The one downside was the bottom of the egg which, for some reason, had turned completely hard and flibrous and was just unpleasantly chalky/chewy all at once.

There was one left over (Ingrid wouldn't eat hers), which one of our hosts proceeded to dissect for our education.

I think he was secretly disappointed that Manny and I ate them and then refused to feel nauseous.

I'm probably going to hell for this.
