That's the real acceptance of filipino culture "" balut"". Fellow pinoys " lets get him to 100"s , spread the news.

Love the way you're embracing the filipino culture . It's more fun in the Philippines 🇵🇭 ☺️

You're officially an adopted son of the Philippines Jonathan by consuming half of the Balut. Congratulations! Good job man! Happy New Year!

I really liked that bad face you made when you ate the Balut ! So funny ! Love how friendly and outgoing you are with the people around you and you always are happy !

😂 that was a genuine response haha.. the taste was actually very similar to an egg, it was just the thought of it haha… when they treat me with that same kindness it’s easy to reciprocate!

I'm a filipino and can't even eat balut with feather, you're more filipino than I am. So happy you're having a fun of fun there

Most of us Filipinos don't say thank you when something was given to us but a simple smile is a gesture we do to show our gratitude. Thank you Mr. Jonathan for sharing some treats to the locals here in the Philippines. ❤️

Happy New Year Jonathan. Congratulations on eating half of the balut & on your 60.9k subscribers. You're very kind to the little girl. Ayo-ayo, amping 💕

Great video sounds great audio great view. Great walking. The Philippines 🇵🇭 great city Happy New year. 👍

Yes you’re so kind and generous Jonathan, God bless you 🙏

When I was a kid living in the Philippines, I used to be able to eat any kind of Balut. When I moved to California, eating Balut became pretty rare and it made me not like older eggs. Just not used to the texture of the feathers and bones anymore but I really enjoy less developed eggs. Some of which are less developed than the ones on this video. Glad you were able to try it. Happy New Year

Adding Lemon/Calamansi to any seafood dish brings out the real flavor of the dish. This mixture in the bottle was most likely vinegar, garlic, and kalamansi. That would give the raw urchin the ceviche or kilawin taste.

Nice! Always open in trying different food and embracing the culture.

Happy New Year, Jonathan!!! 🥳🎉🥳🎉🥳

Manigong bagong taon ! Happy new year,! Jonathan!

Happy New Year! More Philippine Travels for you. A lot to explore.

Hi! Been following you for a few months now and enjoying your videos. Thanks! Balut is simply fertilized duck egg embryo. What you get depends on the age of incubation of the egg before it is boiled for consumption. It usually ranges from 14-18 days. The longer the incubation, the more mature the embryo. I’ve only eaten a whole balut twice in my whole life! I usually just like the soup (amniotic fluid) and the yolk. More power to you and your channel!

hehehe at last I got to see you eating "Balut" in Bohol~ I hope you will travel around the Philippines more

Lol the look on your face while trying to eat Balut is too funny! Way to be brave! Thx for a great video!!

Jonathan ur so generous..I love u already...hoping all foreigner someone like you who loves Filipino foods...keep it up Jonathan...no skip add.

So interesting !

Wow man your brave lol I’ve been here for 2 months now and I still can’t bring myself to trying one. Congrats and I wish you a Happy New Years 🎉 Keep up your awesome videos.

I think you are amazing person my friend the way you show the beautiful Philippines and the people are amazing I'm going to visit one day

Hello, Jonathan. I am glad that you are loving your stay there in the Phils. I am planning to have a vacation sometime before the end of this year. And, I might go visit that place coz a friend of mine lives in that island. I hope to bump into you.

Ok Jonathan 👍 now you have the bragging rights 🥚🦆. That make me craved for balut. I'm getting one tomorrow. 🇵🇭✌️🇺🇸

You’re a brave man! Kudos to you! 😂

It would be difficult to try balut! Great to see your friend reading a remarkable Canadian author.

I'm heading over there for a recon mission in the later part of 2023 - I think the balut will be a hard pass. Jonathan, you're a braver man then me. I think the locals might take offense if I projectile vomit everywhere. Happy new year to you my friend.

How wonderful that your videos encouraged that guy to visit PH :) Is he Aussie? Sound like it. I've only had Balut once. Must have been 18-days Balut coz all i remember is the feel of bones and feathers in my mouth and quickly swallowing it. I think i may need to try it again but go for the 16 or 17 days. 🐣

The trick in eating balut is, put vinegar, salt and put the whole thing inside the mouth (of course after removing the shells). Do not bite it little by little.

Tried balut once with eyes closed haha I just can't! I like the taste of the sabaw though and the yolk. I like 'penoy' - all yolk and no sisiw inside. I am a Filipino btw. Kudos, Jonathan for at least trying :)

Props for eating Balut, man! That's on my "Last-Thing-To-Eat-List" in the Philippines.

I think she likes Jonathan. At 12:10 she flashes a hand heart. Later in the video at 17:26, Jonathan refers to the extra balut egg and says, " I'm not going to eat this, I'm going to give this away" and then she says to him, I'll save it for myself my love." Truly a start of a beautiful friendship.

Jonathan, next time you have balut, you should have a San Miguel beer on the side. I didn’t realize it was also consumed with vinegar. I always only used rock salt with it.
