I went out to dinner and I couldn't bring myself to eat it. I'm game for trying anything once, but this was too hard. My morals took a blow.

What is balut?

A balut is a fertilized duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell

I still remember the first time I ate shrimp. I was like 17 and I almost threw up. It was a struggle on so many levels. Now, I can eat it, but I'm not a fan. I still struggle with eating seafood. Lately, I wonder if I should just go back to being a vegetarian. Anyways, It took several tries before I could finally eat it and so I wonder if that would be the case with balut. (Twas a new restaurant that we wanted to try)


Anyways... could you do it? Eat balut?

No, I really couldn't eat it. I'm a fussy cow as it is but that just looks horrid.

Doesn't sound very nice but I'd probably try it once. I love grown up duck (both to look at and eat) so in theory I shouldn't have that much of a problem with it.

It's the head that bothers me.
