Every Filipino people know what balut looks like and taste like as one of Filipino street food, but in foreign people they look balut as one of exotic food maybe because of little chicken inside but here in our country which is Philippines we have a lot of different types of cook of it even balut shake from high class restaurant up to the street except balut shake you can only find that and resto LOL...

Seeing your picture of balut, make me feel like not eating it anymore.
You see, i like eating balut. However, i don't like to see it in whole like that. When i eat it, i superficially take a look of it. I just gobble it up and relish its delicious taste.

I have tried balut. i never ate any chick inside balut as i do not think i will like it. Most of the time when I eat balut i will just sip the soup inside and eat the yellow part and just give the chick to my dog. hehe ;) my shih tzus love balut and when they hear the man selling shouts "balut" they will bark as if telling us to go ahead and buy baluts for them hehe :D
L any way do you eat the white part or not except the white shell

I eat balut. . . yolk, chick and everything(except the shell, of course, lol). But, I'm not so fond of eating it, though. I have nothing against the taste. It's like eating a durian, you have to tolerate the odor in order to eat the delicious pulp. Actually, I recently ingested one a few days ago. Friends told me that balut could strengthen your knee, if you know what I mean.
I don't know if it's just a coincidence but it did work wonders for me when I was with my better half.
Whatever's the truth behind that claim, I wouldn't eat balut on a daily basis. I would only eat it if I hadn't had one for a long time. Take for instance, I would work outside the country for a couple of years. When I get back of the country, I would definitely have a mouthful of balut.

Your picture is pretty creepy actually. Eventhough I am a pinoy, I am not a fan of eating such balut right now, maybe I am just scared or grossed on its taste. But anyway, many find it very delicious.

I don't eat balut. I am squeamish. Even though manong vendor would insist that the chick is so small and it is "balut sa putt" (covered with the egg white), I still don't eat it. I do like to sip the little juice that comes after breaking the shell, and I eat the yolk part. But I let my dad, or any of my uncles have the white and chick.
