Oh ok, I didn't know that.

Oh ok, I didn't know that.

I knew I couldn't keep them before I bought the eggs. They had a home lined up before I got the eggs.

I always heard they were buried in the ground for 6 months...

And I don't know any Filipinos who like them.

I remember this pic almost as if you were cooking them in that pot!

Buried eggs are called Century eggs, not Balut.

This might help?

Tesumph: "Traditional balut is a boiled duck egg with a ~14-21 day old embryo inside."


I've never heard of a "non-traditional balut."

One thing I've learned after 38 years in Hawaii, and knowing: know it all haoles who didn't know what a "False Crack" is, learn something new~

Never tell anybody with brown skin a haole knows more about their culture than they do.


But, ok, you guys all win.

As long as the duck egg wasn't over 21 days old after it was boiled, she could've hatched it.

But I'm not about to tell any on my Filipino friends in Hawaii, they're wrong.

I've never heard of a "non-traditional balut," before I looked at the Wiki-definition yesterday. That's the "white" American version I was talking about.

And if any Filipino I know in the islands bought a balut, they wouldn't expect it to hatch.

Never tell anybody with brown skin, a haole knows more about their culture than they do; but at least the average Filipino can't crush a European face into reconstructive surgery with one punch, like Tongans, Samoans, or Hawaiians: but a lot of Filipinos in Hawaii are part Hawaiian, Samoan, and Tongan.

Consider the term, "False Crack.". If I took your part in this debate, in Hawaii, I'd consider myself lucky to hear the words, "You like one time punch in da nose?"
