The Balut bet at work... ***Maybe NWS***

[Beancooker]

So, the long and short of it, is a guy I work with who has been a PITA for years, has said he'll eat a Balut. This all started when we were talking about nasty food, and he said it didn't sound bad, and that we were just pu**ies.

So for those of you who don't know, a Balut is a half incubated deck embryo.

I was curious as to how much like a duck, and how much like an egg it was. I cracked one open and checked it out. There is NO WAY IN HELL I could eat one of those. I will be a good sport and boil it for him in the morning before work. None the less,

Took some pics to share with you guys.

Speaking of NSFW threads, that's disgusting dude.

[Dattebayo]

Sweet.

BTW, you should see Andrew Zimmern's reaction when he had to eat one on Bizarre Foods. He's a real champ tho, he kept it down!

[Beancooker]

Oh, I saw. It is what spurred the conversation.

[Dattebayo]

You ever see that show called "Man vs. Food"?

THAT guy has some serious ability. I wonder who pumps his stomach after the show?

[MinisterofDOOM]

I definitely wouldn't eat one, but it's neat looking.

[NSR_s30]

Ewww

[AsanBBoy]

Cook it and give me some spicy lime sauce.

[Captain Slow]

I've had a hard boiled one, was just like a crunchy egg.... not that bad. Just don't look at it.

[ADDirishboy]

I just puked a little

You should go and gut a fish one time.

Oh yeah, and then grow a pair. It's really not that bad. But they don't smell very good fresh out of the shell.

[Beancooker]

Dude, the aged duck eggs that I bought for him smell like crap. I would eat the Balut, before the aged duck egg.

[raremotive]

yeah, the philippines and some of southeast eat those, they boil them. Heard it taste just taste like egg.

[Mr1der]

one of the guys on the Ultimate Fighter had them at the house...seems like a lot of the guys ate them and didn't hurl...

Oh really? A fish is not even bad to gut. Go gut an elk. No, better yet, a smelly freaking javalina. I can do that kinda stuff all day.

A half grown chicken still encased in its embryo is sick.

Well, you said you threw up a little, yet you can gut animals just fine. You are inconsistent.

[ADDirishboy]

I didn't LITERALLY throw up. But things that haven't been fully developed are gross.

[Dattebayo]

It must be tough looking at yourself naked then.

[ADDirishboy]

Actually that was pretty good. Touche, good sir. Touche.

Theres this show that Jeremy Clarkson did where he ate one. It was called Jeremy Clarkson Meet the Neighbors or something... he goes to like india or something. He didnt even cringe or anything... just stuck it in his mouth and enjoyed it... like really really enjoyed it. I dont know what was worse... the duck or his reaction. He loved it.

[stutterr]

where the hell do you get those?

Do they sell half formed chicken babies called "baluts" in the US?

[krimsonviper]

BURN! In y0 face!

Balut is pretty disgusting. I don't mind looking at it, but just the thought of eating it.

[Beancooker]

Most any Vietnamese or Thai food store will carry them.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

That Belut thing is disgusting. Were you going to pay him to eat it?

[snwbrdr435]

I also saw these on an episode of taboo. Strange foods around the world, i would rather eat balut then go to the restaurant in china that serves animal pen15's

[Beancooker]

Nah, I'm not paying him. He eats it, or pays me for my cost of the Baluts and aged eggs.

Yeah, he has two plates full of foulness to eat.

No, I won't take a pic of the inside of the aged eggs. They are in the garage, because they stink so badly.

[snwbrdr435]

The aged eggs are green right? I think those were on the same episode of taboo as the balut.

[Beancooker]

Yep. Green with a few bits of white shell still visible. They smell like the nastiest foulest fart ever, and that wasn't even with the shell cracked.

[snwbrdr435]

You better bring a gas mask tomorrow, you should also bring a camera and document the event.

[dasoupdude]

im Filipino, my dad including a few other of my relatives enjoys that stuff. Ive never really tried it though.
