Sorry, I don't want any pig heads either ;-)
Looking at the duck-egg boiling seems pretty cruel ... until you realize that this is what we do to lobster! We boil (or steam) them alive!
Mmmmmmmmmmm. Lobster! (doing my best Homer Simpson impression)
Heeven
Damn!!! I was hoping no one would mention that. <sigh>
gezzy, I put it on one dlowan's sites. It is disgusting, however - for the most part, it is just as alive as any egg that is eaten. I guess though that commercial eggs are not fertilized.
The opposite to balut is the century old egg, which is one that is allowed to ferment over a long period of time.
I don't put anything in my mouth I can't handle. Was gonna try dog once and just got sick to my stomach thinking about it. Whale, I agree with the posts, but can't come to a conclusion to eat something that is that intelligent. They went back into the sea many years ago for some reason.
Better quit before I become a vegetarian.

With all this talk I'm seriously thinking about becoming a vegetarian.
I'd still eat dairy products though since it doesn't mean killing the animal.
What about fish and chicken. I remember someone told me back in the 70's that they were okay because they didn't really feel anything, and were not bad for.
I just have those days that nothing helps cut the hunger until I can have a hamburger. I've heard that once you accomplish the trick, eating meat makes you sick.
I'll stick with the fish as well, and maybe a little checken every now and then. I eat a lot of fish as it is and couldn't imagine giving it up.
I'm sure if you stop eating meat that you wouldn't want it anymore. I was kind of a vegaterian for quite some time when I was younger for diet reasons and I reached the point that meat turned me off.
Wish I could eat more fish, can't afford it and won't cook it.
Bill W-pin dun , the thousand years eggs, achieve that perfect aroma and texture by soaking the egg (shell on) in horse urine. The ammonia helps the cure. I dont think they do it that way anymore. Sales would plummet.
ALBATROSS!
Don't like . . . asparagus, broccoli sprouts, beets, English peas, caviar, watermelon, cantaloupe . . . and several others I'm sure I can't think of at the moment.
Everything goes better with mesquite charcoal, huh, farmerman?
Williamhenry, I'm sitting here eating my asparagus for lunch. Mmmm.
Makes your pee, stinky.
dont get me goin about them damn pesky Texans. Roger
You only use mesquite to keep bugs away . Around here we still have supermarkets selling mesquite chips to cook with. Makes your steak taste like creosote
The worst thing for you is animal fat. Did that help
