Balut – The Philippines

A staple of Filipino culture for hundreds of years, balut is a fertilized duck egg that has been incubated for a specific period of time. Typically eaten with a little seasoning of chili, garlic and vinegar, all the contents of the egg are consumed, including the unhatched baby duck. A common street food, balut is often chased down with a cold beer—just crack, slurp and bite.
