balut egg
i am not a picky eater, but i am disturbed that i just ate two of these.




balut egg. fertilized duck eggs that are about two weeks developed.

how to prepare:

buy raw balut eggs from an asian store.
boil them.
make a bowl of salt and pepper mixture
get a bunch of these leaves. i don't know what they're called. whoever sells you the egg can tell you which leaf.

crack and remove the broader end.
puncture the membrane.
sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper.
chew up some leaves, then suck out the fluid and drink.
remove the embryo and yolk with your spoon. if you hard boiled the egg, the yolk is in one piece, else it is runny. eat these with leaf and salt/pepper.
remove the rest of the shell and you will find the white. eat it if you want.
