YuckY YuMmY Deliciuos BALUT .... PENOY..

               Balut it is a boiled  duck or chcken fertilized egg  and its popular food here in the Philippines and part of Asia,which is china, Cambodia and Vietnam. Balot is nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled eaten in a shell. Nutritionist expert believed that it is Aphrodisiac a substance that increases sexual desire and considered as a good source of high protein and hearty snacks.   Other people's opinion Balut is considered as one of the exotic food in Asia.

  Balut usually sold at night in the regions where they are available by street vendors and don't need to go in a fancy restaurant . Balut makers also called "mangbabalut" in Pateros ( part of manila in Philippines) renowned for their careful selection and incubation of the egg.  Balut are kept warm in the sun and stored in basket to retain warmth. The best age of egg to make balot is nine days after the eggs are held to light to  reveal the embryo inside. Approximately eight days later the balut  are ready to be cooked sold and eaten.

           If the duck eggs are not properly developed after nine to twelve days as sold as penoy, which look smell and taste and similar to a hard boiled egg.

               I loved to eat balut especially if the balut is " wrapped in white" (balut sa puti) preferably 17 day's Philippines ideal balut. Because the chick of it is not old enough to show its beak "tuka" in tagalog, feathers or claws and the bones undeveloped. It's yummy together with salt and spicy venigar.

              Many pregnant women craving in a yucky- yummy delicious balut. And other people believe that eating balut can cause for their babies becomes hairy  or hirsutism later in life. And for the foreigners it is a fear factor dealing to eat balut and macho- measure of intestinal fortitude.
