ThatLightInYourEyes Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Gourmets in the trendier (i.e. less sane) parts of the U.S. have latched onto the Filipino delicacy of boiling eggs during a rather late stage of development: http://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/3/33848/2524782-balut.jpg http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/05/travel/how-to-eat-balut/index.html I almost put this in the SOCN forum because of possible abortion debates this could raise among some people in TRF. As for me, I just have this rule where I don't eat anything that makes me scream when I look at it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangsterfurious Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 I used to work with quite a few Filipino people who would swear this was one of the most delicious things. I played it safe and would only try their noodle dishes and this cake... http://media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/bc/b5/fa/bcb5fa7bbe644438c29d4fcfc3fe8415.jpg 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than balut, which is said to have more than a day's worth of cholesterol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, I'll adapt your rule of not eating anything that makes you scream. Seems very reasonable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
