I'm a filipino but I don't like balut. It's a fetus, a baby duck! When you open it you could see there's veins and beeks and some have feathers already, how can one appreciate it? I don't know, it's just me, I do eat penoy though.

I love balot too! As a kid I refused to eat it until one day my brother convinced me to just try it and if i dont like it I can spit it out. Wel,, i didnt spit it out and am eating it until now!

I used to eat balot when I was still a kid. But now, I'm not for a couple of reasons. First, I have high blood cholesterol so it's not good for my health. The other one is personal so I can't disclose this one.
My question about balot is, is it really good for our knees? The elders keep on telling us before that balot is good for our knees. It will make our knees stronger and younger. But, is it really true?
For other people who dont know what balot is. It is a fertilized duck, preferably 15 days old, cooked by boiling for fifteen minutes. It's yummy. It's tasty. But beware to those who easily vomit.

Yes, proud to admit, i eat Balut. I eat it with vinegar, for those who eat it with salt, i tell you, with vinegar is more yummy. Hey mind you all, it is expesive in Makati City Php12.00, in Cubao, Quezon City it only cost Php7.50-Php8.50. Why is that? I don't get it, to think that when i eat this food, I need to eat at least 2 of it or i'll be left wanting. So it cost me Php24.00! That is more than the price of a big pack of oishi ridges. lol
