Nice to know:

Pinoys call it balut, while others call it disgusting. It is a one-day old boiled duckling egg.

To order, simply wait for the magbabalut at your favorite street corner. He will announce his arrival by shouting "Baluuuuut!"

Why it's in the list:

It's pampalakas ng tuhod!

We always invite our non-Pinoy guests to try out balut. It's a form of mini-torture for them at first, but they usually end up requesting for another round of balut... and local beer, of course.

Ang sarap ng sabaw ng balut, lalo na pag mainit o bagong luto. - Rory Alcantara
