salted chips or not, balut most likely cannot and should not be enjoyed if you are not accustomed to it before hand, that is you have been force fed balut as a child.
It has a very distinct taste and smell, and the idea of eating a nearly-developed embryo is not the best of descriptions or ideas.
Brit... If you're a vegan then no comment but if not, you're no better than the rest of us. It's not like you need to know how a burger was made to enjoy it.
DohaSteve... ahahahha.,.. thats a good one! but... EEEWWW!
not ya average fish'n'chips... lol
FatimaH... WOW... you surprised me!! i mean... i experiment sometimes... kinda... rarely.. lol... but thats something i WOULD NOT try! or even want to watch someone eat! YUCK!
I know I'm gonna be among the minority here but it does look very tempting! *ducks* Blame it on my dad from whom I inherited my crazy food adventurer attitude!
Oh and Alumanar my Thai auntie used to make an awesome chicken feet dish..fried with soy sauce..lip smacking good!
Alumnar..... ok i googled balun balunan and adidas and i wouldnt be able to do that either! chicken feet? What on earth is there to eat... and it would be too weird eating that LOL
but once again... each to his own.. but far out... i have a right to put my two cents in LOL :)
look at your reactions people, every part of this planet have their own kind of exotic delicacies.. anyway, this balut is healthy, just don't look while eating it. lolz.
hawk10, this is not a chicken. It's a duck's egg and it's not like what you're saying it will come out in next 2 days. It's a nearly-developed embryo, a 2 weeks old egg.
You have to eat the thing in the dark so that you barely see the feathers, the beak, feet everything. That's how you eat it. And dont forget the salt and vinegar.
ok i just googled it.. and the images are... OMG! i feel sorry for the little chicks.... far out! i never knew such a thing happened.... that is something i CANNOT wrap my head around! *insert grossed out face here*
Yuck.....its like eating a live chicken. Other nationalities than filipino may dont know what is Balut? Its almost live chicken in the egg which is due to come out in next 1-2 days. They enjoy eating it. My friend brought it from Philipines and I have seen it but that day I was not able to eat my lunch.

Poor duckies.... :(
This is terrible..
Ducks forced to copulate, just so humans can enjoy Balut :O(
Would truly appreciate it..Thanks ahead!
Fathima, it is a made-up recipee by me with ideas from my homecountry dishes. If you want I can pm you the recipee :)
that does sound great..In fact I wouldn't mind try making such a dish. Gotta go google the recipe now!
Fatima, I do a mean chicken feet stew / guizard stew in spicy tomato sauce.... finger licking delicious! But balut... Unthinkable for me!

It's delicious but I really want to try exotic foods. Balut is like a normal delicacy back home but snake or blowfish now that's another story.
does it come wth chips?

To each his own is all well & good but this stuff is just plain disgusting...actually it's beyond disgusting...
I eat and love balun balunan and adidas - but balut??? No effing chance!!!!!
well from the some of the pics i saw Dukebluedevil... looked more than an embryo!
I know to each his own... but how is this a delicacy? eeww!
But then again... i wouldnt be able to try escargot or frog legs either so dont take offence LOL!

As you can see in the video, they have to drink that black colour liquid also, which is accompanying the baby chicken.
OMG!!! i think i just threw up a bit in my mouth!!! Eeeeewwwww!!!
