How To Eat Balut, Fertilized Duck Egg
Ойын-сауық
Maharlika is a restaurant in Manhattan's East Village that sells one of the strangest foods you can buy in New York City. It's called balut, and it's basically a hard boiled egg with a partially formed duck fetus inside.
We learned how to properly eat a balut from Maharlika owner Nicole Ponseca, and then took some back with us to the Business Insider offices to see how our co-workers would react to eating the balut.

Growing up with Filipino parents in Australia, I cannot tell you the horror of when I wanted to cook scrambled egg and it cracked out one of these.

There are way more Filipino food like sisig, banana cue, kaldereta, dried mangoes, chicharron, lumpia, etc. that we can offer to our visitors especially foreigners (not just balut, that most Filipinos don't eat). I get it, balut is part of our culture (especially in rural areas) but it doesn't help in promoting our cuisine. In result, ignorant people are stereotyping. This balut trend needs to stop. Most Filipinos don't even eat it. "When the only representations of your culture available are negative, it’s no surprise if some Filipinos internalize all that shaming."

You don't call a delicacy of a certain country "disgusting". Calling something based on their culture and heritage disgusting is disrespectful. Its almost the same as insulting their country. For example, I may not like sushi or other raw stuff, but I won't call it disgusting simply because it doesn't suit my taste buds.

I used to keep a trio of ducks, and sold their eggs to a local Vietnamese market/restaurant. It was fairly rare, but every now and then the owner would request a batch of balut. I feel awful for what I did to those ducklings, even though the pay was good. But if anything makes up for it, know that the adults were very happy birds, who were treated more like family pets than livestock. They lived out their entire lifespan, and passed away gently from old age.

eggs don't have a embryo in them
Balut sa puti ( pronounced as bah-loot sah pooh-tee) is the best kind of balut because it has richer taste and more succulent juice. From here in the Philippines especially in Pateros. A typical sized balut is about three inches in length. A "balut sa puti" on the other hand was a bit smaller and the duckling wasn't that visible as it was still wrapped inside its yolk. It was 14 to 17 days old from the moment it was hatched until being steamed/boiled prior to selling it to the market. The typical balut was 18 to 21 days old and the duckling was more developed and visible when you cracked open its egg. The latter was a preferred choice by many balut afficionados here being sold warm by balut vendors in their rattan baskets walking down the streets at night time shouting "Baluuuuutttt...Pennnnoooyyyy...Baluuuutttttt!!!" These folks are friendly. Some of them also sell crunchy "chicharon" One of the best balut experience one can have is on the busy sidewalks of Manila where Filipino street foodies are located. Currently, one balut costs about fifteen pesos or roughly around thirty-five cents (US$) . For those who doesn't know, there's another egg thats an alternative to balut and it's called penoy (pronounced as pen-oi) which has no duckling in it yet and looked similar to a boiled chicken egg. Penoy tastes like the yolk found inside balut and paired nicely with salt and vinegar like the balut.
call me a crazy person or a disgrace to humanity but i like balut, and before u judge me. people eat caviar,cow tongue,frog,fermented shark,fermented soy beans,cooked animal privates,baked spiders,fish eyes,calamari,and even fried brains. so before u say something bad about me think about whats happening around you.

Currently eating 2pcs of balut and thought of watching Balut Videos. The US version of Balut looks strange. All the embryo that I eat are black in color with the feathers included. Also, we dont eat Balut with Fork or Spoon! Just crack the egg, drink the juice, open the egg, add salt or vinegar, then eat it whole! Delicious!
You need to have a beer with that. At least a six-pack for one of those eggs. Maybe two six-packs.

An old friend was delivering eggs when he was younger and some vietnamians wanted some hatched ones, they were 15-16 days old when delivered and they wanted to eat them alive... and they realised that because one day they called and asked why they were dead and the coop shop asked them "did you put them in the fridge"... and they said yeah.... and what temperature you think it is under its mom butt they asked to the viet and hang up... kinda... LoL
this is horrifying
How I eat Balut: I crack out the egg, I place it into the bowl (TRY TO GET MOST OF THE DUCK LIQUID INTO THE BOWL) then simply enjoy the dish. Most Western people say it's "yuck" due to them not drinking the delicious duck juice that you eat with, and also you should eat everything else first before eating the yolk. Well, That's how I eat Balut.

I would definitely have to steel myself to eat balut, if I ever had the chance (I seriously would like to travel the world one day so I can experience other cultures). When I went to China, this restaurant had silk worms, young and adult, and only 5 (including me) out of our entire group tried it. It was actually a lot better than what I thought. (the younger silk worms are definitely better) I feel sad that others don't even try to give any of this stuff a try, and just knock it off for what it is. :( But yeah, I would have to steel myself to eat it. It the baby duck part that makes me cringe, I have a phobia of dead animals/things. Especially if their eyes are open, I always get freaked out.

Ate the Filipino and Vietnamese versions with their respective dressings. I def prefer the version of the duck egg that wasn't developed as much. Ate five of the little ones in Hanoi .

In the Philippines, we have 2 ‘types’ of this balut - 16 days and 18 days. In a 16-day old balut, the duck embryo isn’t fully formed like that yet, at least in my experience and sometimes, you don’t even notice it that much so everytime I eat one, I prefer the 16-day balut. The 18-day balut, however, they’re sometimes hairy and you can already see its head. I personally avoid those ones. Although, all the baluts that I’ve eaten don’t look exactly like the one in the video if that makes sense. It’s so formed and bigger which would make me not wanting to eat it too.

Jenny Tchao : Yah I get that a lot. I mean I personally eat balut, but moving on. I don’t think that the visuals/ the way a food looks like can justify whether or not it is cruel to eat it, especially when people eat actual ducks, chickens, cows, pigs, lambs, etc. And just because they eat all the other animals above without seeing it in a gross way, it’s kinda hypocritical to say that eating balut is cruel. In fact, I would say that eating balut is less cruel than eating animals that have once lived already. From the way I see the comments section, for the most part, people are pretty shallow to think that eating balut is more cruel than eating a grown-up duck JUST because you cannot see the decapitated head or the innards that have been ripped out. Anyway, thats all I want to say. Good bye 👋 peeps

Some of the comments scare me. How can some people not know what is happening in their own country in regards to battery farms, mass slaughterhouses, animal testing and cruelty all happening in their own countries? It boggles me. They are either kids or do not see the world past their four walls. Also, most of those making ignorant comments seem to be Americans who do not know how to spell... Interesting. Just an observation.

well, because people dont see those places. they are all behind closed doors. aless someone selectively chooses a documentary on slaughterhouses or battery farms ot animal testing, they won't know about it. usually after watching such a documentary there is an emotional reacion and the viewer will temporarily stop eating meat. But then the effect wears off. There's a massive distance between the meat industry-the breeding and butchering of animals and the consumer. i have a massive problem with industrial fishing and animal farming. It is the inhumane industrial level of it that effects me. if im an ancient farmer, and i kill and have my wife cook an animal for the family to eat, that's normal and fine, just as fishing with a small net for one's own family is. its the industral level that is immoral. we have for one hundred thousand years since being modern humans, and humanoids date back one million years, eaten meat. so there's nothing immoral about that. but the greed and the conditions animals are kept in with modern industrial methods is horrible.and anyone seeing them should not want to eat meat now. incidentally getting rid of cattle farming would have a big effect on easing global warming.

A yummy sauce to go with balut is you would mix salt, pepper,lime with chopped Thai chill. It is perfect with the balut whites.
as a kid you only really want to eat the yellow yolk part, sometimes the juice, but as you grow older you just learn to swallow the whole duck and not think about it haha
If GMM saw this, they will be like "WHATTTT!?!?!"
Excellent reporting!!! HILARIOUS, good instructional in Balut eating. No one should fear protein.

I grew up in Russia, and we eat all kinds of weird food, but I can never try this one. You got me
in the philippines we dont eat balut using forks ( most of us )... first we crack the egg on a hard surface, have a sip with the soup inside the egg, (add salt if u want), eat the baby duck first as a whole, then remove the white part of the egg ( some calls that bato), then eat the yellow part of the egg....
Baby duck: when I grow up from this egg ?? Mother duck: so excited my baby Human: noooooo
So its ok to eat eggs and chicken but not the embryo?its just a meat,people eat different kinds of animal meats,whats the difference?You think its cruel?Eating cows,pigs and chicken is not?#hypocrites.

Ur nasty if you dont feel bad for eating a creature that was boiled alive.
I ate this when I was little and that was my favorite, but now it taste good but I can't look at the head😵
A german guy with filipino roots here: As a kid I really loved them. I can't actually remember anything about the fetus inside but I do remember that I loved that kinda Duck-Soup inside the egg with the yolk. Add some salt and your evening-snack is done. I always wondered why my german grandparents and some other family-members were amazed not only that I'm capable of eating it, they were more astonished by the fact that I loved eating balut. Somewhere at puberty, when I came back to the Philippines and we bought some balut from the street vendor who walked every evening around the neighborhood shouting "Balooooooht!". After opening and drinking the tasty soup I watched down to the egg and realized they contained these fetuses. I really felt disgusted by the idea that all these times we were here I loved to eat them. These little creatures who didn't even had the chance to live. It doesnt look very appealing too as you know. I gave the balut to my uncles to finish it eating. (They took it with humour and laughed. They already know it's not for everyone.) Today, 20 years old, I still need some overcoming to eat them. But actially it's a pretty good tasting snack and after you get used to it, it won't be a problem. And for just a few bucks it's not expensive too! (At that time even didn't like the thought of eating a sausage for a few months, where they use the intestines to be filled with meat.) It's all these different and interesting cultures what makes the world worth exploring. They need to be respected. Even though you might not like it, they (the cultures) don't deserve to be bashed down.

Aman, they are fertilized eggs -- so there is a duck actually inside. Regular eggs are not fertilized. They incubate the eggs until the duck inside is the right age, then they just boil it. It sort of tastes like duck stew. Just extra fresh and soft. Looks yucky, tastes heavenly.

How you eat it is to never look at it whether you're eating it or somebody is eating it. I can actually eat ballut very well cause I just eat straight up. until one day my cousin who was eating balut beside me exclaimed "Oh I can see its beak" and i made the grave mistake of looking at the little guy, now I could never eat that thing ever again. But taste good tho, has a satisfying savory taste you would never taste in any egg dish, but the word "beak" would always hunt my mind if I would ever hold a balut again
Baby chick: When i grow up, i wanna be eaten! Genie: Your wish is my command. The baby chick inside the egg:
My only objection is the barely-cooked bird. I don't normally like eating raw or rare meat, but if it was thoroughly cooked, then it's no different than eating a baby sheep or baby cow. It's just meat .

Why do people keep saying it's raw or barely cooked? Balut is fully hard-boiled like a regular boiled egg. It is a cooked food.
My Flipino friend asked me not to search it if I didn't know what balut was. Should've listened to her
