Balut is a fertilized duck egg that is meant for the dinner table. One lady had other ideas and she ended up with a feathered friend for life. There are plenty of animal stories that will melt your heart, and this one is sure to not disappoint you.
Balut is a traditional street food from the Philippines and southeast Asian countries. It is a boiled or steamed duck egg that is cracked open and eaten straight from the shell. The egg is a fertilized one that has been incubated for a couple of weeks, so it usually contains a duck fetus. Not everyone eats these though, and one lady, Erica Lim, decided to incubate the balut she bought from a Vietnamese stall in Kuala Lumpur.
