Bought a plane ticket yesterday to see an old friend over spring break. We're driving back because she's moving back over here.
BUT, I've just been informed that I have to try balut when I visit.
Thumb, what does it taste like?
Edited, Jan 28th 2011 3:30pm by Sweetums It tastes like chicken...er...duck.
No, but seriously, you have to mentally get past the idea that you'r eating a late-term duck abortion.
Like a hard boiled egg, but the texture is not of a hard boiled egg. Do not - DO NOT - eat it without dipping it into the chili/vinegar sauce and add salt. Be a tad on the liberal side with the salt and the chili sauce.
And don't worry if you actually crunch down on the beak. It happens.
