Balut

So, about that balut...

Seriously, I couldn't eat something that still had a head.

"As far as I know, you don't eat it but more like slurp it down. My dad
used to like that. I've heard it tastes like chicken soup."

You're only saying that because your dad sucks eggs.

...OK, that was a terrible pun.

BecNoir does everybody have to keep saying that? I was responding to the concept of eating a fetus about cannibalism and giving a personal example for the love of god these accusations are getting offensive.

Bob · 2011-05-30 02:02:12

To be fair, cannibalism and balut aren't really related, other than the fact that both involve eating things considered to be odd...

They do have a point though, Tnu.

But, again, back to balut, please.

Nova · 2011-05-30 02:03:05

-sigh-

Tnu, by doing that you're dragging it towards you anyway.

Back to balut.

Tnu1138 · 2011-05-30 02:03:33

my mistake I heard "fetus" and assumed human.

Bob · 2011-05-30 02:04:46

Despite the first three / four post specifically defining it as "duck fetus".

And back on topic, yeah, freaky. I mean, I can kind of imagine eating one while drunk, but otherwise, no thank you.

BecNoir · 2011-05-30 02:06:29

So instead of chewing it, you slurp it down?

Gee, that helps.

Bob · 2011-05-30 02:07:29

I know that post was meant to be sarcastic, but I can actually see that helping to take some of the gross factor out.

Chagen · 2011-05-30 02:24:30

I don't care.

I'm not biting into lungs and liver and anus and bladder and The Lord knows what else is in a chicken fetus.

Bob · 2011-05-30 02:25:15

~~So, you would be okay with slurping it down?~~

Tnu1138 · 2011-05-30 02:26:53

you may be biting in tot hat stuff anyway Chagen.

Despite the fact that I am Filipino as well, I've never tried it, but my friends have...They are only able to eat it as long as they don't look directly at it (with salt of course).

GLORIOUSLeader · 2011-05-30 06:00:47

I've not had balt, but I have had black pudding. It tastes surprisingly good, as kong as you don't focus on what it is.

"lungs and liver"

Why not? I mean meat from other body parts is already eaten often enough anyway...

^Isn't it just cooked blood?

vacasama · 2011-05-30 08:56:35

^^^ It sounds like you might like chocolate meat. It's pig's blood with pig entrails. I've had some versions that have a whole chili in it.

DEAR GOD, IT'S LIKE FAGGOT STEW

I've watched too much Bizarre Foods and No Reservations, balut does not freak me out and I would try it at least once.

Howdy, Stranger!
