who eats "balot" here?

Will I eat that??? Depends... do you eat it? How does it taste like?

ME!!!! I'm a big fan of balot! I'm a balot eater! I can finish up to 5 pieces of 16-day old balot. It's delicious for me. The secret of its taste lies in the vinegar. So, be sure to have a delicious vinegar and a salt when you eat one. If there is a balot-eating contest, let me know, ok?? I want to join.hehehe...

its grose!

I don't know. I'd have to be pretty desperate to try it, I think. Is it boiled? How do you cook it. You do cook it don't you? I can't see myself eating it, but then I tried octopus and that wasn't too bad. I haven't tried it again, however.:-)

Nope, no way I will eat balot. I watch it in a TV show that travel Philipines and yuck. And a month ago I watch it in local TV that people in my country started to eat balot too. Yuck again. Even the American fear Factor too... Poor little baby duck...

Oh my, no. I will never ever eat that. It reminds me of when my mother-in-law had to eat a complete baby bird, bones and all, because she didn't want to seem rude towards her in-laws. Afterwards she vomited, it was so horrible. This same dish is served in other countries too (she ate it in Spain).

I like it som much and eat alot of it also, especially when it's freshly cooked and hot!;) Back when I was still in batangas staying on my uncle, we have a particular 'balut vendor' who peddles it every 2:00 in the afternoon. He's balut is still hot and watery, that we have to keep it cool for a while so we can handle it. My and my uncle could eat from up to 4 pieces each, from there on we feel a little bit nauseated but mostly felt good and full!;)

I do love balot! i eat 2 everynight. I like it with salt and vinegar.

I eat it. I like the ones where the chick is small though. There are others where the chick is kinda big, that's a little nasty for me lol. It's an acquired taste though.

As in a chicken egg, or the like... with a fertilized and developing chick inside? I'd have to say no. I probaby wouldn't eat that. I'd rather make sure that fertilized eggs get to hatch, so i could eat it as a full grown chicken instead.

sorry i am a vegetarian friend,but would try some day.

I only drink the juice of the balot and only when it is hot. I sometimes eat the yellow part but i truly do not want to touch the young chick. Am not really a balot fan. The chicharon that the manong sells alongside the balot basket is more appetizing for mew with lots of spicy vinegar.

well i have to admit i do not eat it i try to cut on eggs this days trying to keep my cholesterol level normal and an egg has much cholestarol in it.. sorry:0

Balut is an underdeveloped duck fetus inside an egg. I guess it's easier to say it's a chick, even though it's not a baby chicken, but a duck. I haven't eaten it but I watched my mom eat it a long time ago and she said it was delicious. Watching her eat it was enough for me LOL! Now, my mom finds it disgusting to eat.

i have!! i love it's sauce, but i hate it if the chick is really big enough to look like a fetus! that is really morbod. i only eat the "yellow part and keep my eyes close.

Is it edible? I am sure it will have some curable properties, as Goat/sheeps uterus with a foetus in it is a good cure for Backaches. I have tasted Goats, long back.

i like balut. i sip/slurp the water inside (is that anmniotic fluid?) and eat the yolk and the egg white. i, however, do not have the taste buds nor the stomach to enjoy the chick. doesn't smell so nice but definitely tastes good.

Oh yes, I like eating balot so much. :P My girlfriend also loves it that sometimes when I told her am visiting her at home, she would just tell me to get some balot for us..and we enjoy eating it, and we eat a lot of it... True, there are some good nutrients in it...:P

I don't eat the whole balot.. what I eat is just the white part. But I eat the whole penoy.

i do, but i dont look at it closely because i might throw up, but if you will disregard the look and concentrate on the taste its bearable. i usually put spicy vinegar and salt on it.
