Would you do this?

[sourland]

If I were in the business of making money with my birds, I would absolutely do this. If I kept them for pets, fun, lawn ornaments - NO.

 

[Peaches Lee]

No! I would no way sell Balut.

If it pays do it, is he a good client? this may help your business relationship grow. Treat it as a business and take advantage of the market. I think I will skip eggs this morning though.

I've always wanted to try balut...

Andrew Zimmern ate them. Along with every other nasty thing on the planet.

I don't know... on one hand, if someone deprived me of a food I enjoyed and I wasn't able to feed myself... sure I'd be begging for.... cheesecake. Balut? No... I'll never make a request for that.

Pricing would be weird... you need to charge for hatching eggs, not $3 a dozen for eating eggs. Then you need to add the chick price to that.. so another $1-$3 each tacked on at the end? Cooking fee of $.25 each? To me that translates to $3.25-$5.25 each, more for duck.

This is a tough one, but yes, I would probably sell the eggs for balut. Just because I don't eat a certain ethnic dish doesn't mean I should try to control what others eat. Still. . . I realize that some cultures eat dog and I know I'd never raise dog to sell for meat.

Strange how the mind and conscience work on ya, isn't it?

I'm guessing that the actual price for balut is far higher. Does anyone really know?

Icky......

 

[aoxa]

Absolutely not. That's just me though

I would supply fertile eggs and just hope they don't tell me this is what they are going to do.
