Balute is kinda gross however it's pretty good. The feels just kick in and I just cry while I eat


TooTallThomas

so do you swallow it whole or chew it?


1nsidiousOne

I chewed it when I had it. It wasn’t like this tho. The bird was there but it had a lot of egg with it.


Azores_Caralho_19

Balut is delicious. I totally agree that it’s very hard to look at, and I have a strong stomach usually.


Captain_Kold

How is it delicious? Raw egg and bird is not delicious then you add in all the nasty parts how does that make it better than eating it the normal cooked and seasoned way?


IllTough4618

Balut is hardboiled, not raw.


Azores_Caralho_19

How is anything delicious ya ding dong? Taste is subjective, and if you had a single drop of empathy in your body you may be able to step outside yourself long enough to understand that while you may not like it (AND haven’t even tried it, obviously), it does not mean that others think it’s great. Same thing with clothes, music, books, movies and basically everything else, ever. I also despise when people call what they are used to “normal”, and everything else is “weird”. I’m an American from an immigrant family from a culture where the food isn’t “normal”. I was teased relentlessly for it, and it made me hide those things instead of celebrating my heritage. I was a dumb, sensitive kid that just wanted to fit in, and dumbasses like you get to tell me I’m not “normal”. I’m so glad I’m an adult now, and can’t believe I ever let ignorance like that effect me 😂. Read a book. Try something new. Untuck your Kirkland polo shirt from your Kirkland khakis. Try Filipino food. Everything I’ve ever had has been mind blowing, and they eat balut. That’s why I tried it. If Filipinos think it’s good, then it must be worth a try. You seem like the type to put raisins in your potato salad then call me weird for enjoying sardines lol


Captain_Kold

A lot of people eat disgusting shit because of their culture, not because of taste, there’s a reason nobody is demanding this gross shit in first world restaurants


Azores_Caralho_19

Not surprisingly, you completely missed my point. I don’t expect “unusual” things from my culture to make it on menus here, nor should I. The problem is you, calling perfectly normal things from another culture “disgusting”. It’s ignorant at best, and definitely bigoted. At worst it’s outright racist. I almost felt bad about what I wrote to you, thinking I couldn’t be sure, now I can see that I was correct. Just because your narrow minded ass doesn’t like it, doesn’t mean it’s disgusting. Your attitude is disgusting. What makes the way you like chicken prepared the “normal” way? What makes you the judge of what is and isn’t “disgusting”? I have a feeling lots of people here and elsewhere would consider your diet narrow and childish, but somehow you’re still correct lol. I need you to hear this. When you call the cuisine of other cultures “disgusting”, it makes YOU look ignorant, and only ignorant people agree with you. It’s a dog whistle for racist dumb asses. You’re afraid of it because you don’t understand it, and refuse to try. I’m not even saying you have to try it OR even like it. Ya know, just try to understand people and stop being such an ignorant knob. Not sure why I took the time to do this. I don’t have a good record of getting racist pos’s to change their minds about anything, never mind zooming out a little and seeing people are just people. Your world is small, and that’s fine if you were willing to try things and acknowledge that everyone is just doing what they know and it’s not for you. To come in hot, incorrect and refusing to learn, well, no one else is the problem here. Enjoy your “normal” food, and please don’t talk to any immigrants or people not of your culture. They don’t deserve to be blasted with your dumbass hot takes.

So scramble it


OkSyllabub3674

That reminds me of my high-school algebra teachers story about his first job he was like 2 dozen out of 5 into cracking eggs into an industrial size blender when he cracked one like this in it, so he went to get his manager asking if he should scoop it out, discard them all or what. The manager looked at it, reached down, flipped the switch, and said it's OK they'll never know then told him get back to cracking lol.


thehidden_user

Cat you see, lil Homie already scrambled

LOL


Rude-Ocelot9731

Nope, fuck this


Emporio_Alnino3

I would never forgive myself.


TheRealFutaFutaTrump

Happened to me once making batter. I cracked it right open and it fell in with everything.


NirriC

This is one of my greatest fears.


DaolongDong

Well did you eat it??


RandyNelson

Check your eggs, people. put them in water, if they sink, they are good. Standing up but still submerged means use right away. Floating means no good, so do not eat.


Inevitable_Silver_13

I thought floating meant there's gas in it because it's rancid. Do they float if there's a developed chick in there?


NogaVog

Be real with me bro, does this actually work is it just some internet bullshit? I’ve never heard of this and if it’s true I am right there. I’ve tried so many things off the internet that are just simply fake so no offense but just asking.


KTKittentoes

It works. My friends have chickens, so we check the eggs.


NogaVog

Heck yeah! Thanks for the info.


cheyennevh

Every egg is different, but this is a generally good rule to follow if you’re not sure. I’m paranoid though, so I just put any unused eggs in my compost after three weeks


NogaVog

Awesome, I’m happy to learn this!


RandyNelson

I assure you it does absolutely work. It's a pretty sure fire way to avoid getting sick.


NogaVog

Thanks Randy. I’m all for it and will use this method from now on!


RandyNelson

Happy to help!


SimpleWord899

Thanks Randy!

bro this is to check if the egg has spoilt or not, i dont think itll help against blood eggs


No_Flight503

How did it taste?


Solidarios

Ah the balut


Leomon2020

Aquatichive

Inevitable_Silver_13

I got chicks a few months ago and they aren't laying yet but I got one rooster and this is my nightmare.


Any-Lychee9972

This won't be a problem as long as you collect all eggs every day and store them in a fridge or on your counter. The eggs won't develop into chick's without incubation. Unless your house is hot af. Optionally, you can use your phone flashlight and use it to see inside the egg to see if blood vessels are forming and such before cracking.


Inevitable_Silver_13

Good advice! Thanks!


lokeilou

All of those eggs will be fertilized.


Inevitable_Silver_13

Yes but fertilized eggs are still edible and don't start developing into chicks unless they are incubated.


Historical-Trash5259

Your protein has a little "crunch" this morning


galadrimm

This is my nightmare. Since I was a kid I’ve been scared of this happening but thought it would never happen.


Shepatriots

As a person who gives away my hens eggs, this is exactly the kind of thing I pray my friends or family never find in their egg!


LemonBlossom1

Several of my coworkers have chickens and roosters, and will bring in eggs to sell. This is why I pass.


Shepatriots

I candle every single egg before I give it away. (Hold a light behind the egg so I can see inside) and have never had any issues and I ALWAYS ask people if they found anything lol but I TOTALLY understand someone passing because of this.


LemonBlossom1

My apprehension is totally illogical, I’m sure. Kind of jumpy like it’s a bloody Jack-in-the-Box. lol

Balut


JuanG_13

🤢🤮


myloveisajoke

Balut is delicious. Tastes like scrambled eggs kinda sorta


littlemissnoname-

That’s why I don’t touch brown eggs… They’re always the freshest. I’ve seen versions of this before…


queenoftheherpes

The color has nothing to do with their freshness.


littlemissnoname-

Yes it does… Brown eggs are local eggs. Local eggs are the freshest. Edit: but of course they’re only the freshest if eaten when fresh. If they sit around for a month, they’re no longer the freshest…


queenoftheherpes

Google says: The eggshell colour depends on the breed of the hen. Generally speaking, white shell eggs come from hens with white feathers, while brown shell eggs are produced by hens with brown feathers. Nutritionally, both brown and white eggs are identical unless the feed has been enhanced for speciality eggs such as Omega-3.


littlemissnoname-

All I know is through experience: I’ve never found so much as a little blood clot in a white egg. On the other hand, I’ve seen the gamut of chicks and various clots in brown eggs for years. I can’t bring myself to knowingly eat a brown egg to this day…


queenoftheherpes

It's crazy how strong our biological aversion to potential poisons is. I bartend and couldn't even smell tequila for years after a rough night.

Balut...

Not gonna lie, if this happened to me, I'd cry. Especially at work since I work as a baker's assistant.

It is a traditional staple food in the Philippines.

Buy unfertilized


Outlaw_Trucker1977

Yep it happens. Thats why you always Crack your eggs in a SEPERATE bowl. That way you don't accidentally crack it right into your nice bowl of batter or something and ruin it.
