How about that great delicacy of the Philippines – You take a fertilized duck or chicken egg, bury it in the ground for a few weeks and then enjoy.
Also known as “the treat with feet” or “the egg with legs”.
Balut are duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture.
They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Philippines and the fifth and seventh levels of hell. They are typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand.
You can spot the vendors because of their glowing red eyes, and the faint, otherworldly sound of children screaming
Tell yourself that every time you crack open an egg from now on you won’t be half expecting a leathery wad of bird to come flopping out into the skillet. Cracked.com
