(Snipped story of un-laid eggs.)

When I first saw the subject line I thought you were talking about
Balut. Now there's something most occidentals could really get
squeamish about. Balut is a Philippine snack traditionally made with
duck eggs. The balut are incubated up to the 18th day and contain a
healthy living embryo. They are boiled and eaten as a snack food.
However, several of the Vietnamese markets in this area sell the same
type of thing using chicken eggs. The Vietnamese prefer them a bit
farther along in the incubation, 19 to 21 days.
If you're hungry, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut

Enjoy,

I think Tony Bourdain got those those in Asia on one of his shows.

Ah, Bourdain. He makes me so nervous to watch, but love his travels. The
last one I watched was his trip to Iceland; sometimes I think he is just
gonna go over the edge and not return. I suppose Tony ate those eggs, or
pretended to.
