Eating Balot吃Balot
Before even starting I know whats already on your mind… What the hell is Balut most of you would ask?甚至開始之前，我已經知道什麼是你心中...這到底是Balut大部分你會問？ In fact it's simply a fertilized duck egg with an almost fully matured embryo inside that's served boiled alive and eaten in its shell.事實上，它只是一種鴨蛋受精與胚胎幾乎在那個完全成熟的服務活著，吃煮在其外殼。 They are considered delicacies in South East Asia and particularly the Philippines, Vietnam & Cambodia.它們被認為是東南亞的美味佳餚，尤其是菲律賓，越南和柬埔寨。
Now for an intro to the story… After a long & strenuous previous night out partying that started at the All-you-can-drink Conway's bar of the luxurious Shangri-la Hotel in Makati & eventually ending in the Ermita Cowboy Grill somewhere estimated around 6:30 AM.現在的前奏的故事...經過了漫長的和艱苦的前一天晚上出去參加派對的開始在全友暢飲 Conway的酒吧豪華的香格里拉飯店在Makati和最終結束在Ermita牛仔燒烤的地方估計，約上午06點半。 We were invited to a BBQ later that afternoon by 2PM at some of Leif's Filipino friends place.我們被邀請去參加一個烤肉當天下午晚些時候，由下午2點在一些雷夫的菲律賓朋友的地方。 Given this I would never have imagined that I would be in the best mindset to attempt eating balut that night.鑑於此，我從來沒有想到我會在最好的心態，企圖吃balut那一夜。 But as the barbecue went on well into the evening and as our fourth case of San Miguel was under way a new sense of strength embodied us.但是，隨著燒烤繼續順利進入晚上，因為我們的第四起案件生力啤酒正在進行一個新的意義上體現了我們的力量。 Eventually the persistent hangover was but a distant memory and everyone's systems were fully operational again.最終，持續宿醉只不過是一個遙遠的記憶，大家的系統再次得到充分運作。 That is when all of a sudden a Balut vendor passed by and the dare between me & Stewart was set…這時候，忽然一個 Balut廠商經過，我敢和斯圖爾特之間成立...
First of all I must say your friend and humble narrator is very proud to have made it all the way up from scratch to the second position of the首先我必須說你的朋友和謙虛的敘述者很自豪地取得了這一切從頭開始一路攀升到第二的位置 t op 10 disgusting food . 運10噸噁心的食物 。 You can go take a look to have a better ideas of the other treats offered there.你可以去看看有更好的想法的其他食物，提供那裡。 Basically depending on the exact number of days (17 to 21) of maturity it should look either something like the picture on the left to a bit more developed duck like I had on the right with feathers, bones & and a hard beak:基本上取決於確切天數（17至21日）到期或者它看起來應該像下面這樣的圖片在左邊有點像我比較發達的鴨子已經在正確的羽毛，骨頭＆和硬嘴：

dear “Jan” – yea, I love how your Filipina pride comes out about something thats disgustingly unsafe to eat.親愛的“簡” - 是啊，我喜歡你的菲律賓人對某事感到自豪出來這就是令人作嘔的不安全吃。 Many tourists every month goto the hospital for trying this so-called delicacy.許多遊客每月轉到醫院進行嘗試這種所謂的美味。 Just because treemonkeys can eat crap does not make it a delicacy.僅僅因為 treemonkeys可以吃垃圾不使它成為美味佳餚。
