Balot(duck egg)

Balot eggs. Anybody eat these? Many of my friends say it tastes good.

Well, I dont, for some reasons.

I eat chick eggs. Same as the duck ones in the photos, but they are just chicks. :3 Yummy.

dont you find it gross?

*stare*

just one rule : eat it at one big bit and don't smell it, or else, you'll puke

oooooooooo omochiro llit su

sounds like it's to be eaten raw...

used to eat it when visit manila during vacation with my family.at first kinda gross&wierd,but after eat it,kinda interesting taste.

I eat those but I do not eat the black and white part.

It inside my mouth doesn't feel right.

I know my aunts have this at get-togethers and parties. I'll just stick with the longanisa and carne asada. These are the ones with the purple egg shells right? Always got confused by this.

^ Same. I eat balot - though I still have qualms about munching on the dead duckling, it feels like dead mush on my tongue. I eat the yellow and the white part of the egg, though. Oh, and the liquid inside is OK as well.

Just eat it with spicy vinegar and/or table salt.



I believe what you're referring to is salted egg, aka "itlog na maalat". Always a favorite side dish/garnish in Philippine party food, such as pansit and puto.
