    Duck ... preserved "Century Egg"

    Have you ever encountered Balut? It's a Filipino delicacy: eggs
    boiled just a day before the embryo is ready to hatch. I tried one
    once as the Vietnamese guy who ran our one and only pan-Asian store
    carried them. It was surprising tasty, not gross at all: there was
    no yolk left and the little bird tasted just like regular poached
    duck only milder, the way veal is milder than beef, while the liquid
    tasted just like soup broth. My oldest granddaughter Neekha was four
    then and adventuresome so I bought one for her as well. She said she
    was going to eat hers if I ate mine first but changed her mind at
    the last minute. She cracked the shell, dried off the unborn
    featherless duckling with a paper towel and roasted it in a slow
    oven for hours until it was blackened and completely dehydrated. She
    called it her duck mummy and took it to show and tell as a science
    project.

    Cheers

    Jim

    I've seen it on youtube, but have not tried it.

    I'm not sure I'd be able to eat it though.

    Clever kid!
