A couple of Saturdays ago, as we were visiting my parents' home in Cainta, a balut vendor came by. My daughter liked to eat balut so I ended up buying a couple for her. Balut is fertilized egg embryo steamed or boiled. It is usually sold with the unfertilized variety that is referred to as penoy. Many people are squeamish about eating balut once the developing chick emerges when you remove the shell. I myself only drink the 'soup' and never ate the chick. My daughter isn't so squeamish so my folks were quite amused to see their apo consume 2 baluts that evening.

| Balut is usually sold together with penoy. Many balut vendors also sell chicharon or fried pork skin. The latter goes well with vinegar. |
