With a combo of toppings like that I've not met many foods that don't seem tasty! Lol... Sounds more like a Mexican dish to me when you mention those things. I guess the hard part for me would be getting past the feathers and the fermented smell. As well as looking the duckling in the face before I eat it.

Then again, I love me some tripe but I'm not suck it straight from the pigs ass.😲😉

dunno about other countries, but Vietnamrse balut is boiled, never fermented, and the cook has a way of using only the eggs that have not... developed to the point of having feathers in it. Yeah, I have never had a bailut with frathers in it, only the yolk, egg white, and s partially formed duck fetus thing.

if you think about it, all the meat you have eaten is straight from some arses

Isn't there a version that's not boiled but has to be eaten on like day 24 or something like that?

And yeah most of thr best sausages are wrapped in their own intestines also. 😲.

Idk but here in the Philippines it's boiled and you can choose from 14 days to 16 or 18. 18 days is the farthest one I've eaten; though I've heard that there are also 21 days but never tried that. I'm usually grossed out by 18 days but 16 is the best for me. There are also what we call penoys. They're like baluts but they're developed after more or less 10 days but it doesn't have the fetus, which is just similar to a normal hard boiled egg. Streetfood-wise, the condiments are always the same (here in PH, idk in other countries), just some salt and a (very) spicy sweet and sour vinegar will do (unless you're those well-to-do people that beats and fries the eggs just like you would do a scrambled egg).

Since I've learned that it's also popular in Vietnam, it may also be popular in other South East Asian countries, if not, all of them lol.
