Duck VS cow

According to Wikipedia:

Balut – is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. They are considered delicacies of Asia and especially the Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, baluts are mostly sold by street vendors at night in the regions where they are available.

Rocky Mountain Oysters – are culinary names given to boar or bull testicles. They are usually peeled, coated in flour, pepper and salt, sometimes pounded flat, then deep-fried.

My coworker and I got into a heated debate for which of these is more edible. So if your life is depended upon it, which would you rather eat:

Balut or Rocky Mountain Oyster?

I for one rather eat bull balls, semi-developed baby duck is just waaaaaaaaaay too disgusting.

Cheers!

Hi, I am aL!

I was a 23 year old (25 now). I was born in Hawaii, but later moved to Thailand, Taiwan, Singapore, Seattle, San Jose, and now back to Taiwan. I now work at VEDA International and specializes in CSR and Social Media Marketing. We are working on a new CSR Knowledge Management platform, so check that out as well.

Outside work, I enjoy random conversations, a good read, spontaneous travel and a cup of Chinese tea to wind down my hectic day in this busy Asian city. And that dog avatar? Yes I am a Huskies!
