I am lucky to have never got an up close and personal look at balut. My wife likes to eat balut and knows that if I take a look at it, I will tell her how disgusting it looks.
And yes I am currently living in the Philippines.
An interesting fact is that while Filipino is the national language, the language with the most speakers is Cebuano/Visayan.
I think it's time to go out to Jollibee for breakfast.
