i should have added this to my post weirdest habits:

…6. I eat balut.
   For people in the Ph tho, they dont find this weird. But the rest of the world does.

Balut is an egg of a duck steamed after being incubated to artificial heat or the actual heat of a mother duck for some days. The way to open it is crack and make a small opening at the wider edge of the egg. When opening it, the first thing to do is sip the soup. njam! And it goes best with salt. After, you gradually remove/ peel off the egg shell while exposing the chick inside for the bite!

Balut is believed to have aphrodisiac effects. It is a saying here that if one is weak, balut is the thing to make your bones strong! Indeed, this tale has scientific possibilities for balut is rich in calcium! hehe… move over osteoperosis!

For the weak hearted, there is another kind of balut, a “Penoy”. the insides looked like an ordinary chicken egg when boiled. Both tastes exquisite! And for first timers, i recommend eating it with closed eyes.

Hmm.. wait a minute, duck egg? or was it goose egg?
