“baluuuut, baluuuut!”

WARNING: THIS POST CONTAINS GRAPHIC PHOTOS OF DUCK FETUS

There is a delicacy infamous in Filipino culture that can put a crippling chill in the spine of grown men almost as quickly as talk of aswang. That delicacy is the notorious balut. Balut is a popular Filipino street snack and is essentially a duck egg with a fetus inside, typically between seventeen to twenty days in gestation. In the Philippines balut is so popular that it is equivalent to what the hot dog is in the U.S. There are balut vendors who push around carts full of fetal treats and bark their wares in a sing-song chant of “baluuuut, baluuuut!” Balut is also a popular aphrodisiac for men. But even with the good vibes and positive spin surrounding balut, the stigma attached to eating it overshadows all the warm and fuzzy aspects of this very Deep End Dining dish.

But do you people really want to know what goes in your average, every-day, all American hot dog?

Where the hell is Gunny when you need him? He was plenty familiar with Balut. And, from experience, it's not that bad, it's just an odd texture to handle, that's all.

balut or steak or dog meat....its all the same.....
