Filipinos are definitely exotic in many ways. The beauty of Filipinas, the talent and the whole country itself, it expresses a complete epitome of being exotic. But when speaking of exotic foods, the Philippines probably has the most exotic ones ever in a single country.
Among all of these exotic foods in the Philippines, there is one that stands above rest. This food is defining factor of all exotic foods in the country. This food is called the "Balut". It is basically a fertilized duck egg that has a prematurely developed embryo on the inside. In order to make it, the eggs are fertilized for about 16-18 days. After this, the Balut is boiled with its according length of time. Then it is served and eaten right from its shell. It is also considered as a very famous aphrodisiac. Thus in the Philippines, it is commonly sold in during night time. It is also popularly known to produce high-protein.
"Balut" is named after the Filipino term which means wrapped. Today, it has been one of the most controversial exotic foods around. It has been used in television shows as a means of dare to the contestants. One example of this was on the reality show, "Survivor".
