It was my last day at Grace House yesterday, and also pay day for the staff. They often celebrate by going to a local cafe to eat balut which is a 17 to 21 day old duck embryo boiled alive in its shell.
If the egg cracks it is not eaten because it is believed to give bad karma .
Two of us hitched a ride on the back of staff motor bikes to join them in a local cafe but neither of us felt like eating.
Neither duck nor egg. You can see the head and developed beak and wings.
They are served with a sauce made with salt ,kampot pepper, garlic and chilli.
I can't bear the thought of eating an ordinary boiled hen's egg, or even an omelette, at the moment.

The eggs are boiled for 30 minutes
