In December 2003, Cindy (my wife) and I travelled to the Philippines. We have documented our experience through the photos you see here.

Balut | Manila (5 of 194)
[From the asiacuisine.com website:]The wayward nature of the itik (native Filipino duck) must be the reason for an unusual Filipino delicacy - balut - a fertilized egg with a partially developed duckling, which is eaten boiled. Balut is a very nutritious snack food, which most Filipinos appreciate. However, non-Filipinos generally take a bit of convincing before taking their first bite.
