Hello my lovely Steemians! I hope you are all having a great start of the Weekend.
Hitting our list of Weird Foods of the World Series and coming straight from The Philippines, ladies and gents, let's deep dive into this really weird food that is : BALUT!!!
BIZARRE FOOD : BALUT
COUNTRY : PHILIPPINES
WARNING : IMAGES MAY BE DISTURBING
BALUT is simply a developing bird embryo!!! Most commonly duck eggs but also made with chicken eggs! It is boiled and eaten from the shell itself with a hint a salt and vinegar!

It originates from the Philippines, but is very famous in the South East Asian countries like Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Laos.
The egg is incubated for a period ranging from 14 - 21 days, depending on the preferences of taste!!! Then it is boiled and served!
You’re supposed to tap a hole in the top of the shell, sup the savoury liquid and then crunch down the rest of what’s inside – feathers, bones and all. Bon Apetit!!
If you had the chance would you taste it? For me it's a big NO!!!
That's all for today folks! I really hope you enjoyed this post and that it made many of you discover something you did not know before.
