Many years ago on holiday in the Philippines with son aged 12, who was
cracking his neck to try a Balut (a real mans food!!) so we stopped one
evening while driving to buy him one. He dutifully sucked it down and we
went on our way. About 20 kms later he mumbled "What do I do with the claws
and beak" as he poked them out of his lips. My dear wife nearly lost her
cookies!! Son never asked for another!
