Yum...look some fresh eggs from a street vendor. WRONG! These are baloot or baluut, a half-hatched egg and popular in the local cuisine. Basically, it's an egg that is partially through the embryonic stage of development (15-16 days) that has been boiled and served with salt. Depending on how late they let the egg go you can start seeing features of the chick like the beak and even feathers. In my case, I think it was pretty early so blood vessels and organs starting to develop and appear along the yolk. You may have seen these on the reality TV show Fear Factor. Well, guess what? Fear is not a factor for me! Check out the pics and the videos below. Delicious!!!
I swear I will try it... eventually!
