Another Totally Gross Food...!

I'm not even sure that this next item can even be classified as a food, although I'm sure many folks would do just that. They would say "it's strange, but it's still food!" I might have to disagree, though.

Balut

So it’s a hard-boiled egg. What’s weird about that?

Think again because lurking beneath the innocent-looking shell is a tiny duck fetus that’s been boiled alive. Nice. To make it, fertilized duck eggs are incubated for up to 20 days and then cooked to create this gruesome delight.

Eating the balut is an involved process. Crack it open, and you’ll see a tasty broth. It’s here where sensible people stop while the fearless go full throttle for that embryotic goodness.

Take a trip to the Philippines, and you can casually devour this delicacy with a beer. But let’s be honest. It’s going to take more than that to wash this fowl dish down!

I'm afraid I would need to be very, very drunk before I tried to eat something like this...know what I mean? BTW, these tasty morsels came from the folks over at Listverse, so don't blame me.

Coffee inside once again today. The cold weather is back.
