Eating Balut: A Small Delight After a Pac Fight

My dad says, "A ceremonial treat to have after a good win. The Balut is a snack, it's not weird."

Sadly, America calls it gross, horrifying, and down right wrong. It is known as the #1 Top Terrifying Foods in the World and there are countless blogs, articles, and videos on people scarfing down Balut with their eyes shut. It's definitely interesting when you find something new and different, but don't call it terrifying! Geez! What a way to stomp on other cultures...

Balut comes from the word, Balot which means "wrapped" in Tagalog. It is a duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo, typically between 17 to 20 days in gestation. It is the most popular and common merienda (snack) in the Philippines.
