Eating Balut: The Controversial Filipino Delicacy


Listen Later

No trip to the Philippines would be complete without eating the controversial Filipino delicacy, Balut. This popular street food has been trending on social media for some time, due to its shocking appearance and questionable ethics, so we decided to give it a try. Is it good? Is it wrong? Join the debate!
We also discuss the Philippines' other defining features: incredibly slow elevators and the infamous mode of public transport, the Jeepney.

Sign up to Patreon for this week's Lost & Found section, as we continue the food theme. We put Manila's local desserts to the test in what is quite possibly the most underwhelming food experience we've had in Southeast Asia.
