A Balut is a fertilised duck egg which is incubated for a period of 14 to 21 days depending on the local culture and then boiled or steamed. The contents are eaten directly from the shell. Balut that are incubated for longer periods have well-developed embryo and the features of the duckling are recognisable. When you break the shell you will find some broth tasting sauce in it as well as the egg and the embryo. It's one of the best known delicacy in the Philippines and they are readily available everywhere. If you like it please don't forget to upvote, follow & resteem!!
