Balut is the ultimate test for any adventurous eater: a developing bird embryo (usually a duck) that is boiled and eaten in the shell. The defining characteristic is the **'Broth'** (sabaw)—the savory liquid inside the shell that should be sipped first. It is typically seasoned with a pinch of rock salt or a splash of spicy vinegar. The trap is an egg that is too "mature" (with visible feathers) or one that has been kept at improper temperatures. Expect to pay 20–50 PHP on the street.
