My brother lives in Vietnam and is married to a beautiful intelligent and educated Vietnamese girl. They have two delightful children. When I visited them as we were sitting down to breakfast my niece was eating what I thought was scrambled eggs.....yes it was scrambled eggs but here was something in the egg....What was in it I asked. Oh my brother replied that is a simply horrible dish....Yes but what is it?...Look closely he said....So I did. Oh my goodness....Yes it was half incubated egg, so there were bones and legs in it......Yuck or what!

I've heard of it with duck eggs ! It's discusting but then again live and let live hey?

my sister used to work in Korea and YES that is a delicacy - and hard boiled - can't imagine how gross that must be to eat.  YUK  also cooked chicken feet - she actually tried those after watching many people showing all signs of thoroughly enjoying them but said they were just as revolting as she had thought they might be!  
it takes all sorts ......

D'you remember HFW eating his wifes placenta after the birth of their first baby

at least that wouldn't have had feathers and bones and a beak!

Its the beak bit that gives me the heebbies I've got chicks hatching as i type too

I've got a chap in London who buys some of our meat chickens oven ready.  he is married to a Chinese lady and whenever I send his chickens down to him, I have to send them the feet too, and we usually give him a few extra ones!  Saves throwing them away!!! lol

If you type "balut" into Google images, you can see what they look like. I think it is barbaric  - eating a foetus and really gross too.

Not something I will be eating in the very near future.... might have to stay off eggs for the day now as well  lol

[Kym503]

I was just about to have breakfast....I'm not hungry now!

My husband told me about his experience with this "delicacy" many years ago, balut I mean not eating a placenta.  I thought it may have changed, that's culture difference I suppose

In an uncles butcher shop once when he was preparing a chicken for mum and he pulls out an unlaid egg and suggests the 'wee one' that's me, have it for tea.  I didn't my brother had it instead, yuk

......also in Korea the chicken feed was often fish based and so the eggs were distinctly fishy flavoured!
