When I first read about a Filipino delicacy called Balut over at I Heart Bacon, I wasn't sure I was understanding it correctly but a little searching revealed more information from Asia Cuisine.
Balut is a partially fertilized duck egg, boiled and eaten as a snack. The eggs need to be carefully selected because the best ones will contain a beak and feathers. According to Asia Cuisine:
A combination of saltiness and tartness, softness and crunchiness, a sensation of sweetness, the degree of resistance to the bite, the viscosity and stickiness are the rewards.
Have you ever tried Balut? How was it?
