CODMAN : i eat balut and penoy, but the penoy i like it "higupin" thats messed up duck egg, boiled and its like smoothie but not cold and sweet. just pure proteins.

balut i like it crunchy. those who would like to know what crunchy is, pm me, ow what the heck might as well lay it down for all. crunchy in a balut means the embryo has developed with formation of calcium, hence "Crunch" its good for those with calcium deficiencies. good for those with osteoporosis. and also supplements teeth !

Good Lord, make him stop, smite him now......please

worms that live inside the barks of mangrove trees :thumbs-up just add vinegar, onion and ginger. yum!

I know what you're talking about, those look disgusting..

Balut is good just eat it while its hot if that thing gets cold it would be perfect/ideal for a daring competition.

You actually get more calcium you can use from the undeveloped (fresh) egg. By the time the embryo starts getting crunchy, it has taken the "nutritional" calcium from the yolk and converted it into indigestable bone, which passes right through you.
IOW, the calcium is there in the fresh egg all along, and Uncle Ricky's first law of eggs and fortune applies; to wit:
"The longer you wait, the more the chick uses it up, and the less you get out of it."

the reason why balut is mostly sold at night is so that you can't see it. not too appetizing to look at but it's still really good
