The baluster egg is one of the more controversial foods, but if you can get past the tiny duck face inside, it could potentially increase your manliness.

The origins of the baluster egg date back to the 1980s, and since then, the process of preparing them hasn’t changed much.

A baluster egg is created when a fertilized duck egg is incubated just long enough for the fetus to begin forming, usually between 11 and 20 days. According to most culinary experts, the ideal baluster egg has been incubated for 17 days.

The longer the egg incubates, the more pronounced the features of the duck fetus become. Though it sounds counter intuitive, the incubation conditions must be perfect, so as not to kill the fetus. If it dies before the appropriate length of time has passed, the egg is worthless.

Once the egg has been incubated for the proper amount of time, the cooking process begins. The egg is hard-boiled almost exactly the same way that normal eggs are, though the reaction that occurs within a baluster egg is quite different. The liquids in a baluster egg, rather than solidifying, turn into a sort of broth, that then simmers the duck fetus and the yolk.

When the egg is done cooking, it should be eaten right away, when still warm. Due to the presence of the broth, the contents should be eaten straight from the shell. The broth is sipped first, then the fetus and the yolk are eaten.

If you can get past the concept of eating a duck fetus, complete with tiny facial features, the overall experience is said to be a pleasant one. In fact, the more duck-like the features are, the more manly the eater is said to be. The egg, for the most part, tastes like an egg, and according to those who have had it, the fetus “tastes like chicken.”

The baluster egg is most popular in Southeast Asia, where it has been eaten for many centuries, though it has been seen around the world. Outside of Asia, it’s often seen as a taboo food or a novelty, not eaten for enjoyment but for sport.

Ethical concerns have been raised over the eggs, most obviously because of the presence of a duck embryo, but also because of the discrepancies over its classifications. In some countries, the baluster eggs is considered an eggs, as it has not yet hatched. However, in some countries, such as Canada, it is not considered an egg and is therefore subjected to different labeling and trade requirements.

Despite everything that baluster eggs have working against them, the southeast Asian culture still reveres them to this day. They are eaten as a street food throughout the Philippines and are even considered a restorative and curative food for pregnant and delivering women.
