Balut
bal´ut n. boiled duck's egg with partially developed embryo (a native delicacy).
This grossly yummy treat was featured in a Fear Factor episode. My, my. The contestants had a grand time downing the eggs. Mahirap talaga kumita ng pera! (It's difficult to earn money!)
They say you're not a Filipino if you do not eat balut. Hmmm. I only eat the yellow, soft part and the white, hard part. I leave the eating of the poor ugly duckling to my companions.
Since I eat only half of the balut, does that make me half-Filipino?
well i love balut! i can even eat 3 in one sitting, which is bad i know my sister told me so. and i eat everything of it...uh of course except the hard white part.
ReplyDeleteWe went to Pateros one time. There, you can buy uncooked balut which is - of course - cheaper. But you have to cook it yourself. Well, we didn't buy any hehehe. Just visited a friend.
ReplyDeletekaka miss tuloy yang balut, naglalaway ako. nakatikim ka na ba ng adobong balut? rapsa! pero lakas maka-highblood daw.
ReplyDeletenarinig ko na yung adobong balut pero di pa rin ako nakakatikim. malamang may balut sa mga filipino stores dyan pero sigurado presyo pa lang, maha-high-blood ka na hehehe. 10 pesos na ang balut ngayon dito.
