Sabi nang mga kumakain nang balut na "para magiging malakas ang tuhod nyo, kumain ka nang balot"!
The people who are always eating balut always say "in order for you to get stronger knees, you have to eat"!

Ung iba nag bebenta nang balot meron silang mga pwesto sa mga public areas katulad nang mga sakayan nang bu s or jeepney.
When it is evening or night, what do we usually hear passing by our houses : There is someone yelling "Baaahluuut!" or we hear them yelling "PenoyBahluuuut!". They people who sell balut sometime ride a bicycle while selling and the rest of them go by foot. The others that sell balut have a place for their trade usually at the bus stop or public utility area where you can ride a jeeepney.

Para sa ung mga tao na hindi pamilyar sa "Balut": Balut ay nilagang 16-21 day old itlog nang itik(developing embryo), isang sa mga street food dito sa pinas, ung balot ay embryo nang itik na hindi pa magulang. Masarap kainin ung balot pag may asin at mahanghang na suka! Masarap kumain nang balut pag ginawang pulutan. Pwede lagyan nang chopped onions, finely chopped garlic, mashed chilli(para medyo mahanghang , asin at paminta tapos ihalo sa balut.
For people who are not familiar with "Balut": "Balut" is a hard boiled 16-21 day old duck egg (developing embryo), this is one of the street foods we have here in the philippines. The balut is the undeveloped embryo of a duck. Balut taste good after putting some salt and some spicy vinegar. It is also great for pulutan. You just need to add chopped onions, finely chopped garlic, mashed chilli pepeper(to make it a little hot and spicy), salt and pepper. You can mix this with the balut and have yourselve some pulutan(a dish eaten while drinking alcoholic beverages).

Wag kayo matakot kumain nang balot, kasi lalakas ang inyong tuhod. Pag may narinig ka na sumisigaw "Baahluuut", lumabas ka sa bahay at bumili ka nang balut para sigurado ka sa tuhod mo!
Dont be afraid to eat balot, because your knees will be stronger. When you hear someone yelling "Baahluuut" come out of your hous and buy yourself a balut so that you can be sure of your knees!
Ohh baby duck! They eat it here in Cambodia too! Not sure what they call it! Had it once! As a mostly plant-based eater, this was a tough step, but it actually tasted good! I just made the mistake to open the egg and put it in a bowl. Here they also eat it to get stronger and for better sexual performance!
Its actually the same belief that we have here in the philippines, and that's what i mean when i say " are you sure of your knees?" people who always eat balut have that at the back of their minds every time, and they don't hesitate to share it with others.
Ohh... the meaning totally went passed me... sorry for that! Hehehe
Hhahaha! its alright, do you eat balut?
I had it once. I do not eat animal products very often. But it wasn't bad, at least some parts of it, yet not my favorite food.
Balut and knees, i wonder why they keep saying this. May be it does really have connection!
