Eating Balut for the first time (baby duck eggs) Gross-out Factor applied!!!

I'm sorry but that's nasty.
 
i don't know if you eat it when the bones have developed. i would definitely try it iv tried some weird stuff and some that were worse than that the next weird thing i want to try is the live octopus on the Japanese street markets and of course fugu.
 
I'm always up for trying new things, and don't get grossed out easily, but, if I onened an egg and saw a lil ducky fetus in it, there is no way I could eat it. I would feel too bad. However, if it were unfertilized I'd be game!
 
Haven't tried balut. Only into duck feet, not duck fetus. Have had fugu (poison puffer) in Tokyo, in 91. They filetted the whole fish and laid the paper thin meat slices in a nice pattern on the chopping block. I looked over to the fish and the thing was still breathing. They ended up cooking some of the bones in a soup. You have to go to school as a chef for at least 8 yrs before you can even touch one of those fugu to serve it. One wrong cut and your clientelle could die. I had some fried catepillar in Burkina Faso. My wife showed me some pics of fried mountain spider when she was in Cambodia recently. That'll be the next thing I try.
 
I would say anything fried I would likely eat.

The balut was mushy and the look itself was belch.
