All about Balut

If there is one task in Fear Factor we Filipinos would excel, it's eating Balut.

Balut is an egg that has been fertilized and contains a partially developed embryo. In countries where the balut is considered to be a delicacy, a duck egg or a chicken egg may be used to prepare the dish. The mode of preparation for balut is very simple. Generally, the egg is boiled and eaten directly from the shell, in much the same manner that boiled and unfertilized eggs are eaten around the world.

In countries where balut is commonly served, the fertilized duck egg or chicken egg is considered to be a superior source of protein. The boiled embryo is also considered to add flavor and texture to the egg. A balut may be enjoyed as a quick snack along with beer or some form of ale, or be employed as the centerpiece for a meal.
