I’m not eating a fertilized duck egg since the day I born. I hate balut (fertilized duck egg). Maybe because my dad has 10 chickens. I grow up with those chickens. But my workmate said the balut can make you strong and healthy. I try to eat balut even thought I hate it. Its taste good but the chicken I didn’t eat. 10 months later the chicken in the balut I always eaten but with a beer and I drunk. For those who didn’t know the balut. A balut (in tagalong word) is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled of egg with yellow part, hard white part, hair of little bird and the bird itself. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available. Balut are most often eaten with a pinch of salt, though some balut-eaters prefer chili and vinegar to complement their egg and they are often served accompanied with consumption of beer. Fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth. After nine days, the eggs are held to a light to reveal the zygote inside. Approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked, sold and eaten. Vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand, used to retain warmth, and are accompanied by small packets of salt with vinegar.
