    Balut is delicious. It’s only “creepy” in the west.

      Full disclosure, I think the act of eating is creepy.

      Yeah, I wouldn’t call it creepy.

      I would, however, have issue with the texture from what I’ve heard described. But I’m weird about textures

      It’s not creepy. It’s cruel.

        It can be both.

        Humans seem to not mind the cruelty of what they eat. That alone is creepy. At least, to me it is.

    My favorite pop culture appearance of balut is on Fear Factor. Joe described the hard white as impossible to eat and ommitted it from the parts you need to eat to advance.
