balut

When I was younger, I use to eat 3 duck eggs. :)I cannot exactly remember what I did feel after. Last year, during my aunt's birthday, someone gave her " asodong balut" goodness they taste good, just dont over eat though specially if you have high blood pressure.

hi... i guess, a dozen, when i was in my childhood.. LOL... well, i guess because of its nutritional value jampack in just one small space...LOL... don't you know that fear factor used it as one of the taste test challenge they did a few year's back and they called duck's embryo.. other nationalities would find so darn gross but for us, we'll just say "pass the salt, pls." LOL... do you agree? ehehehe

I guess I can down four in just one sitting, especially when it's hot and freshly cooked. I remember a friend of mine can counter that average of mine, but he does feel dazed after he finished eating them. But for me, I can still stand up and don't have any strange feeling at all because I'm used to it. Balut is rich in protyeins, that's why it is referred to as "pampatigas ng tuhod." But it is also not good for those who have high blood pressure, because of the high cholesterol it also has..

I like balut so much, i can eat five in just one sitting, but i choose the duck's fetus size, i doesn't like the big one, i like the medium size fetus and the fetus which is still covered with white. I like it's water inside, tastes yummy. Usually, i just put a little salt and pepper to taste or sometimes vinegar with chili and pepper. After eating, i feel so full.

is that eating duck foetus? I just think it's a disgusting practise, just my opinion don't want to insult anyone

I used to eat 'balut' when i was a child. But now, i don't have the guts. hehee.. i don't know what happened.

I love eating balots..

btw, i just remembered somthing i learned about balut, they say that the amniotic fluid that surrounds a human baby/fetus tastes like that of the fluid in balut, coz basically its also an amniotic fluid.. heheheh

nothing except iits real nice and i love eating balut . . it feels exotic if youre eating one .. which reminds me ive got to go get soem later this evening

I've never tried balut, and am pretty sure I will never try it. I just can not get my brain and stomach to accept it. must be a cultural thing, huh?

One is enough. Two at the maximum. :D I don't know why is it known as pampatigas ng tuhod. I am not so good with chemical compositions and nutrient contents of food. LOL.

I can eat two balots in one sitting. It has lots of proteins which makes us healthy!

I've eaten 3 balut in one sitting, they say if you eat a lot you'll feel dizzy or drunk and I'm not sure if this is true because the most I've eaten is 3 and never felt anything, apart that I enjoyed eating it, lol.

Hi, Acmepride I can eat like 2 balut... I can't go over that number because I didn't feel good when I ate 3 before hahaha... my father usually buy balut for each of us when we were kids but my parents rarely eat them. My father had high BP and my mother is allergic to it hahaha... but for me and my other 2 siblings, woot! we love it... When I was in college, during our hell week lol (exam week), we buy like 2 each to keep us awake at night while studying... And they work real good because even if we only had just about a few hours of sleep, we still feel energetic and great... I think the balut was widely known like that because it is high calcium and protein but eating too much of it will result to an increase in blood pressure.

I used to eat more than one balut specially penoy when I was a little tyke. Now that I'm old enough to know what I am eating, I felt disgusted for awhile. Eventually, I summoned enough courage and began eating balut again. Just one is enough.

I haven't tried balut, nor do I intend in doing so. I can't bear myself to eat something like that. I'll just have the regular chicken or quail eggs please. But if I'm a contestant of Amazing Race or Fear Factor I'd gladly do it for money! LOL

I can only eat two, it's very tasty but if I ate more I get cramps in my hips. Old folks told me it's because I get overloaded with nutrients too fast (sobrang sustansya kasi) that's why I feel that way. I love to eat more but I can't.

Balut?? I have not eaten one. I almost ate one when I was a kid. I already removed some of it shells and was ready to drink the liquid that comes with it. When I saw all those feathers and the head of the chick I felt disgusted. That is why I will never eat balut.

It's a thing I don't eat nor like the look of it. I can't stand looking at someone eating it. It was knows to be as pampatigas tuhod though I'm not sure its true though.

I don't know what it is. lol
