I wouldn't dare to touch the stuff. I'd even eat something nasty like escargo before I touched balut!

I tried it, its not bad, I wont go out of my way to buy it here or anything, if you don't want to eat it straight out of the shell try balut adobo, it will give you an idea of what it taste like. try anything once, twice if you like it, then go for it!

I ate it....sober. It was not too bad. To me it tasted just like a hard boiled chicken egg but with a much different texture. I can't say I would eat it again. But it was something I can say I have done.

Balut is only eaten because of the lack of food in PI. People who find their chickens eggs in later stages of development won't throw them away as an American would. It's all in the way one is raised. When you are younger eating balut sure beats going to bed hungry.

Poeple end up "loving it". It's all mental.

For me I'll wait a month or so and let the chicken hatch and mature and make adobo.

I'm and never have been starving tho and can wait.

Sad but lots in PI can't.

Believe me when I say you'll love eating balut if you are hungry and starving.

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

against all that we must face in this world.
