A balut is a fertilized duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell.
Popularly believed to be an aprodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut are mostly sold by street vendors in the regions where they are available. It is commonly sold as streetfood in the Philippines. They are common, everyday food in countries in Southeast Asia, such as Laos, Cambodia (pong tea khon ពងទាកូន in Cambodian) and Vietnam. They are often served with beer.
The Filipino and Malay word balut (balot) means "wrapped" – depending on pronunciation. (wikipedia)
