S & P Asian mart here in Lafayette has some on occasion, so I picked some up today. Along with the cooked eggs is salt and pepper with lime, and also Vietnamese coriander, also known as Rau Ram.





One down, one to go. Here's the second one broken into...




Poor little guy never stood a chance. You can see how defined he is with his beak and hairlike feathers.



I was expecting it to have an acquired taste, but it wasn't bad at all, especially if you like a good egg yolk. I probably won't be running back to the store for them, but it was a food that was on my bucket list and is now crossed off.

Would you eat it?

I usually try anything. Tripe, pig feet, whatever. But I can’t pull the trigger on balut because of the visual.

If you were blindfolded and had one given to you, what might the taste and texture resemble?

I'm an adventurous eater. Not no, but frick no.

Did you eat the embryos or throw them away and basically just eat a boiled egg?

A duck egg? I'm guessing someone local is raising them.

I'd eat it. And I've eaten chitterlings MD and aren't bad if cleaned well and cooked right.
