Eating Balut: The Controversial Filipino Delicacy

In this episode we discuss one of the most popular street foods in the Philippines, Balut. Balut is a fertilized duck egg that's been incubated for 14-18 days, developing an embryo. Would YOU try it? Let us know in the comments! No trip to the Philippines would be complete without eating this controversial Filipino delicacy. This popular street food has been trending on social media for some time, due to its shocking appearance and questionable ethics, so we decided to give it a try. Is it good? Is it wrong? Join the debate!

We also discuss the Philippines' other defining features: incredibly slow elevators and the infamous mode of public transport, the Jeepney.
