"Balut"
Balut is boiled embryonated duck egg - about 9 days or 14 days embryo (I could be wrong). The traditional method of embryonating the egg is ingeneous. They put layers of hay on top of the egg and pour warm water on the hay several times a day. Then they harvest and boil, (if I remember correctly, I may be wrong), in 9 days for penoy or pinoy (just a tiny embryo, but the egg yolk has a peculiar (and better) taste than regular yolk) and 14 days for balut. At this time, the embryo is almost full duckling, with crunchy feet and feathers when eaten, the egg yolk is reduced and the egg white is hard, and the amniotic sac is filled with fluid. So be careful when opening balut, because you might spill the fluid which is very tasty. Balut is considered as an aphrodisiac or at least, it increases one's stamina for sex and other rigorous activities (all those nutrients!). I know of several people who engorged on balut before they engage in a full night of amatory activities.
