I was just a kid when I lived in the Philippines and I never mustered the courage to taste balot. What does it taste like?

balot has the flavor of ODEN(japanese food). i hate this, coz my stomach revolted at such a strange food. but it's said that good for health.

balot is a week-old duck
egg with embryo!, which is just boiled and ready to eat off its shell.

wow that's what I wondered... it looked like a fertilized egg... whew. We had to open a fertilized chicken egg once for a science lesson. (there were 3 stages... I wouldn't open the older ones... in fact I took 'em home and hatched them!) Not sure I'd be able to um, try this.

Well, my wife loves this stuff. All I can say is that I've tried it 5 or 6 times (10 years ago) and that'll be enough for me..
