Balut: a fertilized duck egg that is a delicacy in many South East Asian countries. How far along the duckling is to being formed before it is eaten is a matter of personal taste. Ever since first heard of Balut, pronounced like galoot except with a B, I thought I'd like to try it. Well yesterday at work I got my chance. It wasn't too bad, kinda a cross between a hard boiled egg and chicken soup that needed salt. It did have some slightly glickky textures, but by the time I got to that point there wasn't much to do but swallow it, there was also the peer preasure and macho angle to live up to. I know it's strange but someday I'd like to eat dog meat,heck with all the taco trucks I've eaten at I've probably had it twice. But it's not the same. I wanna know I'm eatin' it. Preferably the dog that barks all the time next door. That would mean a good meal and a good nights sleep. OK, I made that part up, there is no neighbor dog that barks all night....not any more that is.
