Potential Not Safe for Stomach Content Ahead:


Yes, balut is the Philippine version of the fertilized duck 
egg.  It's occasionally chicken.  After it gets to a certain stage of 
maturation it's boiled in brine to cook it.  My 20+ year old memories 
of the dish say it tastes like duck soup, with crunchy bits.

But this is from a guy who has eaten rhino (very tough and gamey), 
live scallops 20ft below the surface while diving and other assorted oddities.
