Gunbot already fielded the "balut taste"question, but here goes:
The yolk part tastes like a richer version of a hardboiled (chicken) egg's yolk.
The hardened egg white doesn't really taste like anything, save for what it's
absorbed from the 'soup' in the egg, which in turn tastes like simple duck broth.
The duckling tastes like the broth. Even some younger-generation Filipinos get
hesitant about the duckling, although it's more about pity than being grossed out.
I myself used to set aside the duckling and just eat the yolk. The tiny bones can
get caught between your teeth like they belong there: annoying, really.

Now I know what I was doing wrong all these years....eating a caramel apple like it was just an apple without cutting them up and holding them in my hand. And I thought these things (caramel apples) were a messy SOB! Now I know were I was going wrong. Next time I'll try cutting them up first and then eating them.
Yeah, Gunbot has some of the best aviatars. And I'm sure those she has are purely real. They are a real nice size, any bigger and I may suspect something though. Best set I've ever got my hands on were when I was dating a 22 year old chick from Nepal a few years back. They were medium c's and when she took off her bra, they stayed pointing at me.

aardivark wrote:I may be late to the party but I'm always up for 'disgusting' food stories.
Back when I was still living in the islands, my boss was a lady who married into the family that owned the largest balut operation in the country. Whenever there's an office party she would bring a whole fresh-cooked basket of the stuff. One time, our department had an overnighter on the beach and as usual she brought the usual basket and I devoured at least 10 of the damned things. Lost count. Contrary to some posts above, I didn't need to detox or cleanse afterwards, but then again being a proper Manila boy I never ate balut without the requisite San Miguel beer. Also, if the balut you bought from the street vendor has anything close to a strong odor, that means he sold you stock left over from the night before. Yes, the Vietnamese has something basically the same as balut, but in general they don't let the embryos mature as far as the Philippine version does. Really, it's no fun eating it if you can't feel the cartilaginous crunch of the bones and beak. The taste? Wech gave a pretty accurate description but the duckling itself I'd describe as comparable to a very tender, very moist, melt-in-your-mouth cut of the fattiest section of a roast full-grown duck. Albeit interspersed with the contrasting texture of the aforementioned bones and beak.
Other 'disgusting' foods I've had in my lifetime are barbecued monitor lizard (seriously, tastes like chicken, then again it is a reptile), smoked wild boar (that was tough, like eating rope), and monkey braised in garlic and vinegar (the closest I'll probably ever get to cannibalism, aside from youknowwhat hehe!).
The only dish I had ever turned down when offered to me was haggis. And to be fair, it was only because I was recovering from a stomach bug at the time. I'm sure that grey Scottish mass of onion, oatmeal and sheep's heart, liver and lungs boiled in sheeps intestines tasted okay. As U.K. dishes go, blood sausage and marmite are nothing compared to the almighty haggis.

Great post aardivark!!!!
You should try a lot more next time.
You must have missed an opportunity to eat a much more somewhat ECCENTRIC disk only found in the Ifugao country compared that Scottish 'haggis' that you mentioned. I don't know if they are still doing it today. It was way back the Marcos regime when my dad was invited by one of the president's generals to checkout his plantation of "medicinal" plant. I was fortunate enough to be with him during that trip.
So when we arrived in that place in a convoy with his bodyguards. My father went on his business dealings and I wondered around sightseeing escorted by the households. Before noon all of us gathered together in front of a table where somebody was about to ceremonously kill a couple of goats. The general approaches first, as the killmaster slices the goat's throat and blood starts to ooze, the general fills a glass and then quickly hands it to my father. My dad drinks it immediately as if there's no time to spare. I see him smiling, I see everybody smiling. Then the general digs in with his mouth into that severed neck and then after finishing he looks at us gleefully like a kid and speaks that language which I dont understand; I'm thinkin, he could be saying "Fuckin YEAAHHH!!!!" with blood in his cheeks and mouth. I was so scared at that time.
Then they bring in the second goat; My father whispers to me, "don't be afraid my son", the general asks somebody to add some salt and vinegar to my glass and then as the second goat's neck is severed he fills my glass with that fresh blood and hands it to me saying "to the wounds that never heal". There's a burst of laughter around me; I don't know what it meant but I drink the contents. Not bad. I look around and I see all of them smiling at me; so I smile back too. Then the rest work on their share.
So at lunch we had "papait" and "kilawin" both delicacies derived from goat meat, goat organs, goat bile, goat tripe and then added with spices. The food weren't bad , I just don't understand why they like it to taste predominantly bitter.
The next day we were in the "killzone" again and this time it was a dog (I'll just skip the part on how that dog was slaughtered since it would seem to be emotional here). Without cutting open the animal's body. it is being meticulously "barbecued" whole and as the fur gets burnt, they use a knife to scrape the burnt fur and skin. All of them are drinking whiskey at this time while I watch. After sometime, the killmaster who also seems to be a cookmaster summons the general and tells him that its ready. The "cleaned" whole dog is then taken to the table and as the general eagerly cuts it from the abdomen and takes out the small intestines. He cuts a short length samples the contents by raising the whole length in the air and uses his other hand to squish the contents downwards to his mouth and out of the intestine. He then looks at us nodding his head with those gleeful childlike eyes somewhat like an approval. My dad gets his share and he concurs with the general. My father then "feeds" it to me and I refuse because I wanted to have it on a plate; then the general tells me that it is not to be eaten that way. I get the chance to taste and swallow it. It seems that it was just like what we had eaten the day before but now with soft rice and spices.
On the way back to the city, I asked my dad why we were eating from a dogs "leftovers", he said no, he explained that before that dog was slaughtered, they did not feed it for days and just gave water to clean the intestines. Then on the day it would be "celebrated", they feed it with "prepared" food. At an appropriate time, the dog is "celebrated" and the heat from the "skinning" cooks the contents in the small intestines.
Now if that Scottish 'haggish' is just boiled without any "eccentric" methods then it would just be same old common "chorizo" don't you think so

Oh man, you got the full participant-observer anthropological tour!! Now I'm about to turn your stomach and you might regret encouraging me to post some more.
I didn't want to mention the 'papait' because I think people will find it to be the all time gross-out food. Worse than grubs, worse then popped maggots (i.e. deep fried in oil so that it puffs up like pop corn), worse than fresh cow's blood tapped from the neck of a live cow (standard Masai beverage) But since you raised the subject . . .
You think you were eating bile when you had 'papait'? No sir. When I was around eleven, first time I saw a goat being slaughtered, I observed the killmaster, as you so aptly put it, carefully take out the intestines and then squeeze out it's contents into a basin. Out of curiosity, I took a closer look and what I saw was a lumpy liquid goo of stinky, dark green partly digested grass that made up the goat's last meal. Curiosity satisfied, I paid no further heed to that basin until later on when to my utter horror, the killmaster poured the basin's contents into the cauldron of cut-up intestines that he was cooking. Omigod, that's basically low concentration goat poop that's being poured into his witches' brew! Okay, technically it's not yet goat poop but that's only because it hasn't completed its journey (had to sneak in the band's name somehow) down the digestive tract and so a few more nutrients still needed to be extracted from it. But yeah, when you eat 'papait' (which means 'made bitter'), the reason it is so bitter and smelly is that you're basically eating, sorry dude, goat shit stew. Cooked and sterilized but still goat shit nonetheless.
By the way, I never got to taste the thing. I ran away and hid when it was being served. So since it was never offered to me, haggis remains the only food that I have ever turned down.
