Hey, first again for the second time! There should have been the

I was the 2nd. Second wuss, that is. Third voter.
When I was younger, I would have felt compelled to try it to prove
myself or to fit in or to prove that I was the sort of person who takes
chances. At my age, I find it easy to pass.

Yup- I have the "wuss" hat to prove it. There's just some things that
make me wonder why anyone would want to eat something like that. If
you will or have eaten Balut, I give you a ton of credit!

I don't want to be lying on a hospital bed, with days left to go, saying

I want to lay there and go "WoooHooo, what a ****ing ride!!"

I had heard of a German Dreimannerwein (3-man wine: one to drink
it, one to hold him down and a third to pour it in). Now we have
Dreimanneressen (if the word doesn't exist, it should)!

"At my age" should *never* be used as an excuse.


Don't be layin' on the bed, with your lifeforce draining out of you going
"Damn, I wish I had tried that".

A couple of years ago, we were in one of the local Vietnamese markets
and there was a large stack of eggs in flats near the cash register.
We asked the price of the eggs and the fellow behind the counter
chuckled and said 'You don't want these eggs, your kind of eggs over
there in cooler.'
He then explained what they were, just a few days before hatch because
many Asians like them with some "crunch". He was right about one
thing, we don't want that kind of eggs!!! Gag, choke.

That was fun... ;-)

I'm adventurous with food, but a Balut is one thing I'm afraid I'm going
to have to give a pass on.

While I suspect it might join green pea soup on the very short list of
foods I don't like, I would at least try it once

Gee, I'd like to know if people who have eaten one would do it again
were it offered. Only one person (the last time I looked) admitted to
eating one. Would he or she do it again?

My son aged 12 at the time, on a trip with us to the Philippines wanted to
try one. They are on sale everywhere at close to dusk with young boys
selling them out of a bucket of hot sand.

My son dutifully munched away and my wife and I tried not to throw up.
About 30 minutes later, son says "What do I do with the feet" and pokes
small complete duck feet out through his lips.

Darling wife screamed!

And no, my son would never try them again!

But it is considered macho by Philippinos for tourists visiting the Phils to
try Balut. My son knew that and that was his incentive.

Were the "natives" suitably impressed by your DS's display of machismo?

While I may never work up the nerve to try Balut, I can certainly
respect those that do. :-)

A couple of years ago I saw a food-travel show in which the host, a
perky young lady, went to Thailand. "Thai is my favorite food!" she
burbled. At some point in the show, she bought a 100-yr old egg from
the market, peeled it, screwed up her courage and took a bite. The
look on her face was priceless. Then she turned her back to the
camera and started retching although every so often you'd catch a
glimpse of her gagging face. I was surprized that wasn't edited out!

Later int the show, she tried bugs in the market. The first bugs she
tried, she said they were OK. The second type of bugs she tried
caused a mild retching reaction and she tried to smile through her
tears. The vendor stood there laughing.

It was a great show and probably a lot more honest than most travel
shows. My hat's off to her for trying the food and to the producers
for leaving the footage in. I looked for more of her travels but
