I was supposed to feature this in Photo Hunters for the theme GROSS last Saturday but was unable to do so because I was busy taking care of my mom who just got out of the hospital so I decided to post it today.
This is what we call Balut. This is a fertilized duck egg. The duck embryos(feathered or not) in different stages of maturity are boiled and eaten with salt. This has been a food attraction for many tourists in the Philippines and many of them have difficulty chewing on half formed ducklings.
