hi to you reader. do you eat balot? balot may be called a one day old chick wherein you get to eat a small chick fresh from its shell. you can see this being served on the hit tv show fear factor. do you love how it tastes? i love it. i really do. i know it not really good for the health since it can boost up your blood pressure as well as cholesterol levels but i can eat like 3 to 4 eggs. hahaha! especially the yellow one, i love eating it with salt or vinegar with a mixture of soysauce. have you ever eaten a balot? happy posting and happy mylotting!

Balot - This is a balot.
Yeah.. I love to eat it when soaked in a glassful of vinegar. But I don't eat that much and I only do when I see a vendor.

Oh.. give it a try boss. You will not regret trying it with vinegar. Soak it for a few seconds before swallowing it.

Hi skbh12! I also like balot and I think I can also eat 2-3 eggs with salt and vinegar, yummy. I used to buy balot and chicharon every night before, but I am in Egypt at the moment and haven't had one for more than 2 years now and I really miss it.

Hi. skbh12. You are one brave young lady. There is no way that I could ever put something yucky and disgusting as this into my mouth. No way! How can you stand to eat this? This food does not even look cooked at all. I could never eat a baby chick. I only eat eggs that has yolk in it and not a baby chick inside of it.

I heard that you aren't a true Filipino if you haven't eaten a balut. So I guess, I am a genuine Filipino because I ate balut. It is not one of my favorite food. I only eat it if someone had bought it. I love the juice and the yellow part which is the yolk specially if I put salt on it. But I really don't like the chick because it's hairy, but I got to eat it just recently. I chose the small one, I don't think I like the big chick. Do you also eat the chick?
