Balut
One of the Philippino infamous delicacies is the balut. What eating a balut composes of is breaking an egg open with a half-fertilized chick in it and sucking out the contents in one go.
Honestly, I totally want to just for the bragging rights and to tell my children in the future. Yet, I'm afraid my gag reflexes will prove themselves to be much stronger than my self-control.
UGAHGHAHGG. It's seriously all mental. I heard the taste wasn't too bad but when you feel the body of the chick, depending on how developed it is, sliding down your throat... sick. From what I understand, the younger ones feel like swallowing a mound of mucus. The older, more developed, ones have feathers developing and soft bones, therefore, you may have to chew a little. Balut was totally on Fear Factor before, no joke.
TO DO OR NOT TO DO! I still have a month in Manila, Philippines to decide. DUM DUM DUMMMM.
PS. I wish there was a simpler way to upload my pictures so I can put them on livejournal. Freaking ridiculous proxies and laggy internet connection! You shall be the death of me.
