Foreigners vs balut: Who wins?

BALUT versus THAT OTHER PHILIPPINE DELICACY

Now ... ... only a daft galoot,
Would bravely sample balut
But if you've ever tried
Fish that is pre~dried,
You'll know very well
How it stinks like hell!

Especially when it's cookin',
You really must keep lookin'
At the sole of your shoe,
To make sure that you
Hopefully, with a bit of luck,
Haven't stood on dog muck!

Exact description as of my husband Alan. LOL. It's the dried fish he hates the most. Whenever we're in the shop he will stay away from the dried fish section. My mom will only cook dried fish when Alan is not around so he will not be able to smell it.

Filipinos love it though - specially when its paired with fresh slices of tomatoes. Yummmmmy. For sure my co-pinoys that are there beside you in UK are missing this kind of stuff.

Apart from my poetical effort, ... I had to"bail oot" (or should I say "chicken out?") of this thread since I've yet to sample the aforementioned delicacy!
