One of the things that I won't eat....

[vernon]

Is fertilised eggs.

This Filipino delicacy of fertilised egg is better tasted than seen. Because peering at a tiny pink duck embryo, complete with half-formed beak and wing buds, might just put you off your snack. And that would be unfortunate, because balut is mighty delicious. Imagine scrambled egg mixed with tender chunks of poultry and just a smidge of pleasantly gamey liver. It’s usually served as a street food, boiled in the shell and served with salt, spices and vinegar. Crack the top of the shell and sip out the liquid broth before tackling the meat and yolk.

Look for balut in the street markets of Manila, where it’s sold by vendors with portable carts.

I'm off to Boroughbridge in search of pies and an anarchist.

Snails, octopus, mussels, frogs legs, oyster .... Anything squishy basically makes me gag, and if I do force myself then I'll actually puke. But then a lot of normal things, like mushrooms and pasta, has the same effect. Even pork! That stuff just won't go down!!

Come to think of it .. If it ain't Haagen Dazs strawberry cheesecake icecream I don't want it.

I like Peking duck, so to be squeamish about duck foetus seems hypocritical. However I'd starve rather than eat bananas or custard filled donuts.

Serve me up a snail, octopus, mussel, frog, oyster, mushroom and pasta pizza please.

I prefer the good bits of animals.

I don't think its "interesting" to eat the crappy parts; tentacles, eyeballs, sphincters, cheeks, toenails, etc. I think that is stupid.

I also have a grudging respect for the Law of the Jungle, and prefer unfertilised eggs with my bacon.
