The Filipinos have a delicacy called "balut." This is a developing duck embryo that is boiled and eaten in the shell. The fertilized eggs are set in a favorable environment for the embryo to form in about 10 days, then after another 8 days or so, the embryo is ready to eat.... yummy. I have committed to eating one already, but looking at these pics make me want to change my mind. But ehh... it's just another boiled egg right?
They get seasoned in salt and/or chile/garlic. Balut has been eaten on Fear Factor in 2002.
