These tasty morsels are called Balut, and are a daily staple for some people in Southeast Asia. It's a fertilized duck or chicken egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac, naturally. I always open eggs with trepidation for fear that I'll actually find one of these inside. You're officially Philippino if you can casually crack and eat these without flinching.

Our Filipino custodian brought some balut in for a bunch of us graduate students to try. Only one guy tried them and he was not me. Nasty!
