I used to eat balut as a dare back in college, but the last time I have had it I was feeling something "beaky" I almost puked. My husband will not try it, so much for fear factor adventures!

All I wanted to say was I watched Bizarre Foods/Andrew Zimmerman the other night and Balut completely grossed me out.
Does it really taste good?

On my last trip to the Philippines I ate the Balut. I ate both the 16 day old and the 18 day old eggs. I have been known to ahve a cast iron stomach...lol. Other than the crunchy bones it is relly good.

I tried 3 eggs when I was here last year. I liked them very much, although I found them a bit dry. So have some water handy. Also what I did to educate myself about them is watch a YOUTUBE video (Just do a search on Youtube) and the eggs I had were no where near what was seen on those videos.
