"Balut" dare to eat it?

I am a Filipino too, but I don't like eating "Balut". Maybe because I pity the poor duckling inside the egg which I think was not given a chance to at least see the world! hehe... Kidding aside, I don't really like eating it, unlike my husband who can probably eat tons of it...

I don't eat "balut" actually, until now I cannot take it, maybe because I have fears in chicks (baby chicken) and duckling. When I was still a 5-year-old girl I accidentally stamp off chicks in our backyard when I was playing with my 3-year-old sister and crashed the poor little creature under my feet that I was having nightmares for the next three years of my life, my parents shrugged it as a passing scene, but up to now I still can imagine it and chilled. So I dreaded chicks and duckling that's why I cannot take to eat balut.

I'm from the Philippines thats why I know balot...When I was young, we love to eat balot because my Father bought it for us...We didn't even know that there's an embryo inside that egg especially me and my siblings. My father haven't mentioned about it, but that was okay. We really like the taste..

I remember balut. I missed out on sampling that particular delicacy. Actually I said "no thank you!" I was there in 1987 with the USNS Mercy. My girlfriend and I had some time off, drank a little too much, she tried it (and gagged) but there is no way I could drink enough to try it. I was raised vegetarian. I do eat meat now but I'm very picky about it. Can't get myself to eat liver, or kidney let alone anything like balut

I do love balut. My God, my husband can tell...! There will be no sleeping at night if i can't get/buy balut from the boulevard(good place for balut vendors at night here in Dipolog City). So, we usually go to the boulevard at night just for me to eat balut because if not, il be whining the whole night. Really! It may sounds childish to you. I am proudly saying that i am addictive to it.I even take home balut sometimes...if i'm not satisfied. There are only few Filipinos who eat balut because some find it "Yackky", but for me it is really "Yummy". Some said that balut can cause highblood, actually not just balut...it all depends on how you balance your food intake.

im a filipino as well, but i just ate balut once... i was just forced to eat one because of our truth or dare game... but honestly, i almost throw up. i just cant dare to eat the chick with feathers. but as they say in eating balut, youu should stay in the dark for you not to see the chick, hahha, maybe that could help. and with lots of lots of vinegar. for those filipino who havent try eating balut, try it now, even just for the experience, you know.

Yummy! The only thing that would stop me from eating that is the cholesterol it has in it. But if not for those I would love to eat those delicacy. I am also surprised that they even had brought these food in the Fear Factor shows in America as a challenged in one of their shows.

yes most of the Filipino do eat balut and i am one of those Filipino so basically i do eat balut too. But i only eat balut in 11 days old, i would not take it to swallow the big check when seeing into the scale.
