Send this to a buddy who hasn't tried balut yet! 🐣
My mother grew up eating duck eggs but i haven't tried it
I love balut I grew up eating it it’s so good!! I’m a huge fan just wondering could you show the ingredients for your bread it looks so good
I want to try it so bad where can I get it
I don't have a buddy who hasn't tried balut
Here before 500
my filipino aunt told me that when she first ate balut with her family, they would close the lights just for her to get used to eating the duck inside. Now she's the number one eater of balut in our family. hahahaha
Did they even switch off the door?
@@issa2421 gawdamn 😂😂😂
@@issa2421 im not sure about that. hahahahaha 😆😆
Omg same, I’m also Filipino
It's the same experience I had with my first balut. My friend brought me to a balut vendor whose selling his balut in the dark so people (who prefer not seeing what they are eating) squat and enjoy eating.
So, i know i couldnt eat it just because i get super squeamish really easily BUT i can tell you love it a lot! Ill take your word for it that its good!
exactly what I was thinking I could never eat it but I assume it's good 😭
same i cant even eat chicken legs bc the bones freak me out let alone a whole duck, im sure it tastes rlly good tho!!
Right? I get grossed out if I even just see a vein in my chicken. I'm sute it's gpod, though.
I’m also super squeamish TvT
I’m glad that she enjoys it though!
@@novic_void Yeah same here. I’m sure it’s tasty but I’m to squeamish to eat it especially cause the duck is still inside.
“So how do you like your eggs?”
Her: “Fertilized”
😂😂
I'm half Filipino and grew up with balut. The embryo scared the shit outta me as a 7year old and it still does
It has 3 parts and the bonus "broth"
The broth is basically like the amniotic fluid. Tastes like chicken soup and the most "tolerable" as most would say.
The egg white that has hardened and become rubbery. Most people discard it.
The yolk. The yellow veiny part. Tastes just like a hard boiled yolk but less crumbly and more wet.
The chick. Can be of any size depending on the maturity. The texture also varies with maturity. Can feel like from a small nugget of meat to a complete chick, bones and feathers and all but wet.
The egg white the bird's food as it was growing ate it
The yolk the birdy itself which was in process of coming out... 'Was'
Do u eat the bones n feathers???
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@stephshot_ Yes lol. Picking them out would gross you out even more. And they're too soft to actually cause problems. Ironically, it's actually the egg white that is the actual choking hazard for people who still eat it lol.
@@2Ryled ?
I remember the first time they made me eat balut which they deadass told me that it was hard boiled egg. Guess what? The moment I opened the egg, I saw the duck’s head which scared the shit out of me.
"they MADE" you eat this abomination? 😮
@@B2BYM77like how processed chicken nuggets and any other food could be considered an abomination too?
@@B2BYM77guessing u never ate that before
@@scoob374 it doesn't look as disgusting as this! I was literally sick in my mouth 🤢
@@B2BYM77 that's extremely opinion based, and eating chicken/ducks like this is less cruel less eating a fully grown adult duck
Me watching this video: Aw i feel bad for the duck baby, **proceeds to munch on chicken nuggets**
You will go to helllll 💀💀
You're so brave to post this after the comments on that other video 😭😭
I didn't know that, can you please explain?
@@beauty.fromashes People were freaking out because it's not as common to eat duck eggs. Some poeple grew up eating it & some people didn't
I know right. They are all prerecorded tho
Ong lmaoo
Brave🤣
As a filipino myself it feels illegal not to like balut. But i don't. I tried it once but never again. I feel sorry for the baby duck
Dont be sorry for that baby duck
I eat lots of chicken and other meats, but I don’t know why I would still feel bad for it too 🥲
@@I_am_at_your_door same
@@I_am_at_your_door it is boiled alive
@@Bridgette_equestrian luv your horse. I have a warmblood
I myself am filipino and I've always hated balut 💀
It's okay you don't have to eat it if you can't just don't be rude Abt it and we good
@@qiqismcdonalds1105 ????? I literally said I was Filipino 💀
@@Samester Yes?? even if you are Filipino you don't get to disrespect food
@@qiqismcdonalds1105 don't really think I'm disrespecting it, it's normal to fkin hate something and like something, you have your hates and likes
@@qiqismcdonalds1105 so tell me about what ya hate and I'll lecture you about it
This is so DISGUSTING
Learn to ignore and not hurt anyone 😞
Ok ? Then scroll 😂
In no planet this is not godamn nasty
@@Vmadhu618 Hurt people by saying their food is weird?
Then why you watch it then…
Be prepared for 1k people saying the same thing "they would not eat it" and "i feel bad by looking at it"
Yeah cuz it’s an opinion
@@I_am_at_your_door wow really?!😮
I say I feel bad because I know there’s a little bird in there but I still want to try it. It’s kind of a mix of emotions
for me, the part that feels bad is the same part of me that wants to try it
@@argo8276 I’m saying it because ppl think it’s stupid saying “I wouldn’t want to eat it” and think they’re just being rude
I can't imagine how vegan feel watching this lmao💀
Not good.
I am a vegetarian, not strictly vegan. And I don't judge or evangelize others into it. But this was so weird.
M not a vegan... And even m feeling uncomfortable
Vegan teacher gonna have a mental breakdown and actually call the cops if she finds out what balut is💀
Just like watching something from another culture tbh. I don’t like it, but it’s interesting and each to their own.
i am q vegetarian and yes it hurts but everyone has the right to choose as i had the right to choose so it is okay but it still hurts😢
As a vegan, i feel disgusted! I'm at the wrong side of internet...💀
@@GenLaw.fr
I'm not a vegan a Muslim but this also weirded me out
I’m not even vegan and this is genuinly the most disgusting thing I have ever seen, like good lord. This makes Sustromming look like Candy. It’s literally a fermented duck corpse rotting inside of its egg. I could not eat that if I was payed $1M
Even many non vegans are disgusted 😭
@@vwavefun please respect others culture
When I was pregnant in 2018, I had a strong craving for balut despite never having it before. I went to my local Asian market and bought one, brought it home and prepared it. Well.. I did look at it and I couldn’t eat it when I saw the little duck 😂 hoping to give it another try soon 🤞🏽
I'm happy seeing this
You can say I grew up eating this when times were real hard. Just as you said it's like chicken broth me my mom brother and dad would enjoy this silently, and now that we're better of we still have this for it's nostalgic feeling and not forget where we came from. ❤️
Lucky you. Times were too hard for me to the point that balut is a treat. Eggs are cheaper. Even salted duck eggs were cheaper than balut, last I've checked.
that’s so cute
What ? Why not just eat a duck egg......without the duck inside....😅
I’m usually ALL for trying different foods deemed “weird” to some people. But this, brains, and eyeballs are the only thing I cannot bring myself to eat. I just can’t. I love trying new things but this is not one of them. I’m sure it’s super delicious but I can’t do it
Same. I don't eat anything with eyes, brains, or edible bones. And I don't eat anything boiled alive. Balut and multiple types of seafood are on my "yuck" list.
But you know what, to each their own! I'm experimental in other ways and I'm eager to try foods and food combinations that are different than what I grew up with.
Looks good to me. Never tried it but I want too
I eat fish eyes
@obliteratordeathcon4456I am American and I think it is weird that I like it so much
The yoke is so creamy and with hot sauce is amazing, but unfortunately, people who have never left their country may think it is gross and very inhumane, but they are just out of touch and uncultured. I encourage people to try balut because you shouldn’t judge by having someone taste it for you
Again everyone’s taste buds are different and it is wrong for you to make someone miss out on a food they may enjoy
@obliteratordeathcon4456 I never said people weren’t judging
You though said you recommended that people don’t try it. It is funny how you got into defensive mode and are putting words in my mouth.
I never said people where judging it
I said you were judging it for people
Are you slow? Did you not pass English A1?
It is just horrible to see that how insensitive people can be while choosing what to eat
Guess you and the 18 people who liked this are enjoying some steaks right now.
And a nice glass of milk.
@@emschii9585yep. And would rather eat that than an aborted duck egg.
@@Emtmiller ironic a bit
@@Emtmiller congrats from the deepest of my heart
“Bit of soup” girl that’s embryo juice, that ain’t no soup stop trying to make it sound good😂😂
I mean that's what egg yolk literally is and chicken broth is literally the juice of a boiled chicken carcass
Girl, that's amniotic fluid. And it takes longer to say it, as well as "embryo juice" lmao. She probably didn't even think about how she'll call it.
Enjoy your steak by the way.
But its taste good it look disgusting but it really good
I'm fine with eating pig ear and chicken feet but balut is a tough one for me! I love how you teach others about it though.. i bet many have never heard of it!
Ew pig ears and chicken feet tf
@@jaydeleebelacse427 no I am not. I am respecting your culture? I didn't say anything rude.
@@bequietdontcry9504 don't be rude.. everyone has different cultures 🤷♀️ it's common in mine.
no im not talking to you im talking to the other guy im sorry if that sounds rude
idk why the name tags is not showing up
tbh this is rlly rlly good i’m vietnamese usually we make a salt and pepper with some lime juice and with these leafs and it’s rlly good
U vietnamese eat anything mah!!
If possible, humans also u guys wan to eat!
What not?!!
I just like that you’re enjoying Balut & brave & considerate enough to show how to eat it & enjoy it. I personally had the broth & the yellow yolk part but not the rest. Saw it as a kid & just didn’t think I like it visually or something to consume.
My wife just brought one home I tried it for the first time and I loved it, it was delicious
I struggle enough with meat and get grossed out when I see a vein or fat, but I'm glad you enjoy it and I'm happy you're sharing it with everyone! It really helps to normalize foods like this. And some people may see this and try it and learn they love it! I'm sure it tastes good.
I'm a Filipino and I tried balut for the first time with salt! No. 1 Balut boiled Egg
No. 2 Normal boiled egg
I mean if she enjoys it then great but it’s definitely not for me 😬
Us dude us
Not for us 🤝
Never
yeah 😬
its better than sausage bro I'd rather eat that than processed food. If you dont like eating embryos then dont eat chicken or shrimp because chickens are laying eggs and you should consider the future of her chix too.
Whenever i see a balut video i sort by new in the comments and munch on popcorj while watching ppl cry
Finally a video with balut without the comments offending me
A guy with Arabian name said like 😱🤢🤮
Funnily enough I'm studying embryology at the moment and seeing the duck actually helped to conceptualize some things. Glad it's tasty😅
Whenever my mom slurps the "soup", I always tell her she's drinking the chicken's pee 🤭
😭😭🤣🤣🤣
*duck, not chicken
@@AnneDalton82 It's normally duck, but chicken can also be used.
She's not though. It doesn't even have working organs at this stage
@@Brynwyn123 Jokes on you. Urine contributes to the amniotic fluid. So yeah...
Half of the hate comments here are just straight up stereotyping East Asians and being racist 😭
So much sensitive people around me, i could eat 500 balut and not be sad, call me coldblooded but im a Filipino, yall eat egg but be disgusted about balut, you cant do anything about it. And sorry for everyone who got offended, its just fine to not eat it bc it looks disgusting, its fine for me, so plese do not attack me for offending anyone.
Your broth reference actually made a lot more sense bc I was so confused on how this water from an egg can taste good💀💀
Y'all be behaving like this is a crime when you yourself slurp down a total whole damn chicken 🕴️
Eating a chicken that was humanely slaughtered after living a full life is different than eating a duck fetus in its full form 😐 those two things aren’t comparable
@@tacomagirly this is more humane than eating chicken from a store what do you mean?🤨
@@tacomagirly so you're saying it's more humane to slit the throat and end the life of a living chicken than it is to chop up vegetables? These fetuses have no concept of pain or even know what living is
@@tacomagirly it’s the same as eating crab-
@@tacomagirly my man no chicken you buy from the store was “humanly” treated. This duck embryo has no feelings or feels pain.
looks rlly good but i didnt hear embryo so i genuinely thought she was slurping up a whole ass duck
I want to try this 😚
But I'll probably have to eat it in the dark 😅
Still, seems really tasty 💞
Its looks nasty kinda
I don't know if I have the stomach for it, but I'm glad you seem to really enjoy it.
I’m sooooo curious about this, I raise quail and chickens but I just can’t bring myself to do it. They are so precious to me, but I get that it’s cultural and no judgment from me!
You know what the hardest part as an an American about eating balut is?
FINDING BALUT. I wanna try it so bad.
In philippines it is very common in us
It's just not for me. But I'm happy you're able to enjoy it haha!
i didnt know something like that exists, but i wanna try it
its really good, you've probably already tried it since its been a year but you can dip it in pepper, salt and lime juice.
Y’all saying it’s disgusting when y’all haven’t even tried it
Hmmmmm, j'adore les œufs fécondés. Ma femme est vietnamienne et m'a fait découvrir ça.....quel régal !
As Doobydodap once said “Don’t yuck my yum.”
For those who love balut, welcome to the club. For those to hate it, you can leave your awful comments else where.
Damn having other opnion on food now day has become a disrespect for other cultures
@Y U W A E N A B U L E L E you might want to edit your comment reaaaaallll quick. Last time I checked this is Jeanelleat TH-cam channel not Lisa’s 🧐
Ah yes, so I should respect some sadistic culture yet I’m the bad guy for having different opinions and expressing that, so fair and brave. Get off your high horse, bozo.
@@moaen1 but they literally say its only for murderers and that filipinos r gross for eating balut-
@@moaen1 damn no one’s holding you at gun point to love other cultural food, just be more respectful 💀
the "soup" that she mentioned actually smells quite fishy, you definitely don't want that on your hand so the way to go (in my opinion) is to crack the shell with a knife, bust it open, drop it into a bowl and eat it with a spoon.
Soooo tasty
im not even filipino but balut sounds delicious
Yall just eat a normal chicken egg
Fr
Its not disgusting
I’m going to be honest, the first few seconds of this clip a “no” immediately popped into my head but when I then proceeded to actually think about it I figured I’d be really hypocritical to dismiss this because it feels “gross” when I happily eat both eggs and poultry as well as enjoy plenty of foods like pickled herrings that other people consider unappetising. I suggest that anyone who thinks this is gross would evaluate themselves
EXACTLY!! its literally in between an egg and poultry
No, visually it’s unappealing. That’s what makes it different.
Who thought of the idea of cooking a fertilized duck egg 👁👄👁
Probably isn't have access to underutilized ones and just had to eat what was available to them at the time
I think an animal in human skin
Very hungry people way back when people probably didn't have much option, probably. And it grows (no pun intended) to become a delicacy in the culture of their sescendants
I'm telling u these ppl r crazy
That's so messed up dude that's literally wasn't living animal now I'm fine with eating eggs that weren't even fertilized but eating an egg that had a baby inside that's just so messed up that's like eating like a literal like egg sac
One of my favourite exotic foods here in Philippines 🇵🇭 yum 😋
The way I eat balot is that I dont need to do eye contact with the duck. 😂
It’s like I would try everything once but if I see the head staring at me I’m gonna cry :,)
It looks at you and says "Fulfill my purpose. Eat." Lmao
im ready for the hate comments..
Fr
Too many softies these days.....
@@mamamamia1882 💯
I don't wanna hate I'm sure it's good for them but I could never I feel bad eating normal eggs so there is no way I can eat one with a baby a full grown duck that's had a good life maybe but an unhatched baby
@@breannaellery114 Do you eat roe?
I found this video looking up was to change up the way I eat eggs. The internet did not disappoint 🍳😱
I watched your video as I tried my first balut. 😂 it’s really delicious
I would not eat this ever but I support the people who eat this
It's our culture that we live and grew up with 🤷♂️ its fine if you dont like it and its definitely a culture shock for some of you but stop being so disrespectful. The people you see arguing most likely understand that it's our culture or is Filipino. Im a filipino that doesnt like balut, but i dont disrespect it because its my culture! Again its fine if you dont like it, but dont be so condescending

Rest in peace buddy 🐤🐤🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🐣
so cool! i dont think im able to get it for myself (i am very picky and we dont have fresh food like this in my area lol) but i still love learning about all the food you share on your channel!! it is super cool and i think if it was offered to me fresh i would try it!! im curious what it tastes like- anyways thanks for sharing and teaching us all about so many cool unique dishes :)
Ive experience culture shock before and honestly it's the beauty of every country. Would I try this? sure. Probably with my eyes closed first.
You are so cruel. At least let the poor bird hatch. Let it breathe air and say “mommy” once, maybe then you can put it in the meat grinder to make McNuggets. That’s definitely more humane. 😂
Baby ducks still developing and barely feel being boiled eating balut is MORE humane because they don't feel pain
you're so corny dude 💀
It actually taste pretty good
Humans will literally eat anything.
but its literally the same thing as other meats
@@bloss6277 But that's an unborn baby.. doesn't feel the same.
@@RiyaBasu7 so ur telling me that just cuz it’s extremely common, an egg is perfectly fine to eat while a slightly more developed egg is suddenly cruel?
@@bloss6277 the chicken eggs that we eat are not fertilized. They will not turn into baby chicks.
@@RiyaBasu7 its still the same point with a chicken or duck getting eaten and it’s still a more developed egg lol 💀
Girl I couldn’t…no ma’am. But enjoy!
my fun way of eating this is that i drink a bit of the soup then add vinegar inside. i would softly shake the balut to mix w the soup and then drink it. tastes rlly great and u get to flavor the balut meat a little, but i usually still dip the meat in the vinegar
I really like balut. At first I was hesitant to eat it but as I grew older I saw a lot of western people making fun of it so I tried it just to spite them and it’s really good. The soup and yolk is the best part. The fetus kind of irks me so I usually discard it but if it’s small enough I’ll eat it
It looks like it's tasty but for me I don't think I could eat it.
What I learned about my Coach is that you should eat it all at once. Pour sinamak in it and put some asin then you can chug it all in at once. Then I just use the remainin eggshell to serve as a cup to pour some sinamak again and drink it to add a little bit more taste.
My was to scared to try it but her friend that isn’t even Filipino just went straight for it
I've never eaten balut without salt and spiced vinegar.
I've always wondered about balut. Your enjoyment almost normalises it for my mind. My stomach, maybe not. Thank you!
Ngl that look very disgusting but you like it so good for you
tbh when i first learned abt balut when i was like 8 or so i was kinda disturbed but very curious. would still like to try it some day
As a Filipino I agree eating the egg with salt.
For me when I eat balut I dip it in a mixture of salt pepper lime
Something I put the mixture in the balut to make the juice more flavorful
I can eat eggs. I can eat chicken. I can't eat this.
Any folks want some quail belut? In southern oregon!
(im just curious) what do you do with the feathers if there are any
do you eat them or get them out?
asking because ive never eaten balut and it seems yummy 👍
I'm glad you still decided to showcase our culture despite all this not so good comments on people eating balut. I saw one vietnamese who also does food content and she ate a balut on her channel and so many were disgusted and being rude to her. I know not everyone will like balut but people should just respect each other's preferences no one is forcing you to watch the vid or eat balut it is your decision to stay and see what it looks like.This vid made me want to eat balut again haha. I really like your channel and enjoy your vids.
When I wait to Thailand I tried one of those become I thought it was just some eggs but then the lady who sell that told me that it was duck embryos and started to explain and that I should not eat it if I don't have the stomach for it ( she was so sweet) long story short I inhaled 3 of it, it's super good
Why didn't you put a little salt and black pepper in the liquid before you slurped it up?
I cannot. My Filipino classmate brought it to school for us to try. I really can’t 😅
Oh no.. I'm so sorry.. i don't mean to be rude but i literally feel nervous everytme i see someone eat it
Rude? Fam its just being honest
Nervous for her or for you? Honest question
Don’t be sorry, you’re just being honest
Ppl deserve opinions
That's perfectly normal for people who aren't used to eating it ^^
To any future hate comments: Get Balut'd
That vegan teacher crying after this video
I’m making some tonight I’m so excited to try this I’ve been wanting to try it for years!
I'm drooling just by watching to this I'll just wait for the balut vendor outside my house to come when I hear him screaming "baluuuuut!!!!" 😭
Can you feel the texture of the feathers?
Probably 🥲
It depends sometime's it just dissolve
🥲
Tbh. No. The duck's texture is gelatinous.
Sometimes. Balut's definitely a texture thing. It's the texture that makes people squeamish. But then people start associating it's taste to anything slimy when the truth is it's their saliva that made it that in the first place. They took too long to swallow lol.
I love eating balut❤
I grew up with some friends who’s parents were from Cambodia, and got to try this back in middle school-It was so good. I haven’t had it in ages, man.
Folks thought I was gonna be grossed out, but my family is from the south-we eat pig viscera by choice 💀
When she dipped it in vinegar and salt ... I felt like I wanna try this too!.. It's kinda look tasty! ✨
Now I'm craving for some balut🤤
My fav there is the bato(rock)
If caviar eggs gets fertilized before serving imagine an egg fertilized such a rich, and delectable experience. One day this is gonna be rich people food
One day i wanna try Balut cause I'm a curious person so, hope I like it and Balut mean wrap in malay
The vegans are screaming
Sane* people are screaming
@@tacomagirly thanks alot for calling filipinos insane 😀😀

Bro all a searched was how to care for duck eggs but it auto corrected and put how to EAT duck eggs 😭😭😭😭😭
Balut sounds good tho I might try it
Maybe one day I'll get brave enough to try it. I've also incubated a lot of eggs and investigated so many to see what went wrong and I might be too familiar with partially developed eggs in a setting where they are most definitely not appetizing at all. Idk. We'll see. I also still struggle with the idea of eating insects, but I want to change that.
