Thank you.
I will ring them.
OK for all your info, BALUT is 2 week old DUCK (NOT chicken) fetus boiled in its shell.
You can also eat BALUT OUTTA shell again boiled or deep fried (how my hubby likes, he doesnt like it when the fetus eyes are still looking at him)
You can also get SALTED DUCK EGGS..mmmm masarap
Duck egg, taken from the mother and then left in 1ltr of water with 1 cup sea salt in it, leve for 4 weeks, then boil the eggs as you would for hard boiled eggs.
Thanks for the discussion though..

[lizaphil]

yes please.

I have left it late i know this, I had to bring my party forward coz so many were going back home then

Completely agree Steve. Only today, I've been explaining to Elaine that in the west we dont eat any of the fat, bones, skin, head, feet, offal or any of the other cr@p on a chicken. The breast and possibly legs is all we usually bother with. I don't even buy any chicken meat with bones in it, the pre-packed breasts in shrink wrapped trays is all I can be bothered with these days. Pinoys must think we are extremely wasteful

if you have ever had chicken burgers or bernard matthews type products then you will have eaten all this crap inadvertantly

[Terpe]

That's another thing to put on my list of things to avoid in the future!

Absolutely
That goes for chickens feet and chicken head.
I even don't want to see anyone else eating that.

Like somebody sucking on a pig's foot

[worthingmale]

have eaten balut whilst being filmed by a very large filipino family on the mobile phones wasnt that bad.

chickens feet was worse for me wont be eating them again

I know, but I haven't eaten any processed meat for years, I only eat meat that looks like meat and is meat The programme Jamie Oliver made a few years ago, showing what goes into nuggets and burgers was pretty shocking

[Englishman2010]

Here are a few more treats for you. Various offal kebabs at a street stall in Palawan, bargains at 7 pesos each

The crispy pata (deep fried pigs foot was delicious, although it was a bit fatty)

[Steve.r]

When i eat the fat or anything from these roadside sellers, I make sure they are well blackened, ok, pretty much burned before I eat them. Adds taste and kills anything still living inside them

[Steve.r]

How about Fish Balls .......... we had these in the middle of nowhere on a mountain track one day.
