You get to eat your chicken and your egg at the same time with  Balut.  Fertilized eggs are boiled just before they’re due to hatch, so your  yolk oozes out followed by… a chicken (or duck) foetus. They are cooked  when the foetus is anywhere from 17 days to 21 days depending on your  preference, although when the egg is older the foetus begins to have a  beak, claws, bones and feathers.  In Filipino culture Balut is almost as popular as the hot dog in  America and street vendors yell out ‘Baluuuuuuut’ as they push their  carts down the street. They are popularly believed to boost the libido  and are also a hearty snack full of protein. Balut are usually guzzled  down with beer and are prepared with a pinch of salt, lemon juice, black  pepper and coriander, although some Balut eaters prefer it with chili  and vinegar. The way to eat Balut is to crack open the egg, sip the  broth and then eat the yolk and foetus…it’s not everyone’s cup of tea,  but apparently it’s delicious. <img src="http://bna-art.s3.amazonaws.com/www.bootsnall.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Balut.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
