welcome to wherever you are.

I ate one of these today:

"A balut is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are common, everyday food in some countries in Southeast Asia, such as in the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam."

Yeah, I know what you're thinking. It looks pretty disgusting. One of the cooks prepared some at work today and I was one of the few brave enough to try it. Not only did I try it but I ate the whole thing. It tasted like chicken and it went rather well with hot sauce.

Peta would have a field day.

I'm sorry, but I'm kinda cringing to the thought of you eating that. lol. I would probably try it and enjoy it in the end, but it still looks rather unappetizing. Good for you though for trying something new.
