Tonight's Dinner and Some Interesting Foods.

Balut is actually really delicious, it's the look of it you have to get over.

Like with one of my ex friends .

Balut, no thank you. I experienced that while in the Philippines. It's a boiled chicken or duck egg embryo eaten from the shell. I had to pass on that one, it was not very appetizing to me.

HMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm NO,NO, and FUCK NO. Thank you...

My silkie is out back laying eggs. I'll report how she tastes in a few years.

I have this sneaky feeling that she'll taste like...chicken ?

EDIT: Actually, how are the eggs? I hear from some of my friends that their eggs are a bit tastier than the standard laying hens.

So as some of you may recall, I am a bit of an adventurous eater. I try things that many would not. It has served me well over the years when getting to know some of the people I work with and has generally been fun. Haggis, yummy. Live bugs, no problem. Durian, just get it past your nose and you're in for a treat.

Tonight, I'm roasting up something I have been wanting to try for years...a black chicken.

We'll see how it turns out later. This is after I took off the head and feet to use for soup.

The place that had these also had some balut, salted egg and century eggs. I've already loved the salted egg yolks in my pasta but I'm a bit dubious on the balut. The wifey and I will be trying the century eggs in a couple weeks.

The silkworm pupae might be a bit much for this trip too but at least I'll get to say I've tried a few of these different foods.

Ok, maybe a silly question, but are the eggs any darker than eggs from other breeds?

Not really, they are dark brown for me.

Chomping on lamb's testicles doesn't sound like anything I'll be doing anytime soon.

When I was in high school I took agricultural biology and we had to do a ffa affiliated project so I raised some araucana chickens in our back yard they lay a very light blue almost green shell on their eggs. From I remember they were tasty but I chalk that up to being farm fresh.

I can't blame y'all who are a bit squeamish about some of these foods. It takes someone with the right kind of crazy to enjoy them...like me.
