Food!! Slightly Scary Edition..

I did it (well, we did it... Kelsey and I). The one thing I thought I would NEVER do. Balut. For those of you who do not know, balut is a partially developed egg (chicken or duck). You can enjoy balut with beak, feathers, and other lovely bits depending on what stage you get it at. Luckily, mine had no 'recognizable' bits.

Penoy was also on the menu. It is a partially developed egg but still has the appearance of an egg (for the most part, the white part turns a lovely shade of carmel brown). It tastes like a boiled egg but with the texture of soft rubber. Not bad all in all. Although, I doubt I'll be eating it for breakfast every morning...

Pictures: The egg with an 'x'  and the carmel brown egg (on the left, 2nd photo) is the penoy. The last picture is also penoy. The rest is all balut. The sauce we used was just vinegar.
