Now there's a lot of things I would ban if I could, but one I never really understood the fascination for is balut. And to think you see it everywhere here! :D I have to say I only ever ate penoy so I don't really know what balut tastes like, but yeah. The picture says it all. >_>

Getting a couple of prompts from the postcard post: around half have been claimed. ^_^

Isn't that the egg of an unhatched chicken? Lol, I saw a guy eat that of on a tv show and they said you can feel all the little bones crunch when you chew :P What is penoy?

Yes it is. O_o; Apparently it's one of those things people hear about Filipino cuisine all the time.

Penoy is made like balut, except the egg isn't fertilized, so you get the yolk and the salty albumin without the alien lifeform. ^^;
