My first para in an article on #balut I wrote years back: Eating a duck just before it quacks its first "quack" is considered a gastronomic delight in the Philippines :) #PinoyCuisine

[ASEAN @ASEAN]

Yum or yuck? Balut - the exotic cuisine from the #Philippines - is not the usual egg. It is a developing bird embryo (usually duck) that is boiled. Crack the top of the shell, slurp the soup and eat the rest. Do you dare to try?

I'm teary-eyed too...

Thumbs up to a feisty lady. Reminds me of the journalists, lawyers, doctors, academics, poets, and other activists who kept the candle burning during the dark days of the Marcos dictatorship
