Balut Recipe Video

In this video, I show you how to eat Balut. In case you're not familiar with Balut, it is a fertilized duck egg with an embryo inside it which is considered a delicacy in many Asian countries. I've eaten Balut on 2 other occasions and to be honest with you, its still an acquired taste for me. Are you brave enough to give it a try?

Editors Review

True Filipino delicacy. This video prepares balut - a fertilized duck embryo. It is boiled and eaten from the shell. A popular hearty-snack, this is quiet a rich source of protein. Eaten with a flavorful dip made from balsamic vinegar and soy - this makes quiet a healthy food.
