Anthony Bourdain - Fetal Duck Egg (Balut)

The Vietnamese culture has been established for centuries. You can throw western culture at them all you want, but in the end; it's their cuisine that will endure.

Vietnamese recipes, invariably, will call for many fresh vegetables, spices and herbs.

Pork, prawns, fish and beef, are the most common ingredients of meat, to their culture.

Then we have, "fetal duck eggs" (Balut). Leave it to Anthony Bourdain to discover what middle aged, Vietnamese men eat to stay fertile.

Not for weak stomachs.

Tony comments, the egg was very soft boiled and feathery. Although, there was a crunchiness to it, he found pleasing.
