my fiancé eats this food called balut, it’s like a half grown chicken or something.. definitely odd
It’s a chicken embryo still in the egg. I already find eggs to be revolting (it’s a nearly-forty-year food aversion) but that pushes it beyond. I get that it might be considered a delicacy in SE Asia (the Philippines specifically, iirc), so I won’t yuck their yum and just say that it en’t for me.
In the wise words of GradeAUnderA regarding Balut, "but apparently it's pretty tasty... yeah I think I'll pass"
