I just tosed cookies a little reading this article, maybe there should be some sort of warning —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.87.56.81 ( talk) 21:30, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
well yes dumb dumb, this is more disgusting than any of the things you mentioned because it's not even a @#$%&()% ANIMAL at the point it's eaten.
Well it's more digusting to me because you eat the entire animal, including eyes, bones, organs, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.167.186 ( talk) 01:35, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
Clean up you comments people.
A few years back I tried eating balut, but after I cracked open the egg, there was a much more developed chick in it than shown in the pictures. Because I owned a lovebird at the time, I just couldn't find it in me to eat this little thing. Was the bird suppossed to be so developed or more like the egg in the pictures? 66.244.207.166 ( talk) 05:33, 3 July 2008 (UTC)Aelange —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.244.207.166 ( talk) 05:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Is this product legal? I only say this because it says it is sold at night? —the preceding unsigned comment is by 7121989 ( talk • contribs) 02:57, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
it's as legal as it is delicious, son 92.225.196.14 ( talk) 02:04, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
"Their high protein content is complementary to the consumption of beer. [citation needed]"
It is usually eaten as "pulutan." (see Cuisine of the Philippines)
Pulutan is a word which means "finger food". Though at times eaten with a fork, Pulutan is served as an appetizer or as a snack accompanied with liquor or non-alcoholic beverages.
This being said, im taking off the citation mark. (Unless theres another reason why its there) Jak722 08:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
That's bullshit. Everything is complementary to the consumption of beer. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.190.206.128 ( talk) 05:10, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
uhh isn't it "traditionally" pronounced Balot? BAHH-LOT not BAHH-LUT? Coojah 08:59, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
should link to different video. right now article links to a fear factor video. Balut is a delicacy and should be portrayed as such. not a fear-factor gross-out food. a DELICACY.
Maybe it shouldn't be a fucking disgusting dead foetus and it would be regarded as such.
Delicacy is jsut a word used to make disgusting things seem more desireable. It's not like balut is exactly difficult to procure or anything, like truffles or saffron are. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.71.167.186 ( talk) 01:38, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
I have seen the Thai version; which is now getting quite hard to procure. When the chicken shell is broken it is green in colour. The Thais serve it (when I've seen it) as a bar snack with beer. They call it Khai khaow or so it sounds to my European ear. Perhaps this should be added to the article. BeckenhamBear ( talk) 19:25, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
The eating of a Balut can often trigger off a fit of screaming, one notable example of this was survivor contestant Denise, Screamed, then didn't even finish it, she was subsequently sick.
This is out of context, and doesn't read very well. The event described may be rewritten and moved to the "In popular media" section. However, the "often trigger off a fit of screaming" claim should be deleted. Fireartist ( talk) 16:13, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Eating a duck embryo is unethical, just like a lot of Asian culinary habits. EWW —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.188.76.70 ( talk) 22:15, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
We should be careful. Does it developed a brain or nervous system already? Do you agree the boiling pain is not worth the taste? Some farms offered eggs with dead embryoes and if it is not dead long the hygiene problem is not much. And we have unfementalited eggs and chicken killed less painful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjueh8259 ( talk • contribs) 11:42, 2 February 2012 (UTC)

I've removed the word "alive" from the phrase "boiled alive" in the first paragraph. Using "alive" sounds sensationalist, as if the editor who originally placed the word there (who was anonymous, by the way) did so only to provoke debate over the cruelty of the practice, or highlight the fact that people are boiling a "living" creature. Let's not turn this culinary article into a debate about duck abortion! 172.141.180.67 ( talk) 16:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
It's utter rubbish to describe the word "alive" as sensationalist. It is an entirely accurate and scientifically correct term for an embryo. It is alive and not dead. Since the only objection to it is that it "sounds provocative" (which is not a legitimate reason to remove a fact), I've put the word back in. -- Hibernian ( talk) 15:43, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Whether alive or not, "fertilized duck embryo" makes no sense. Eggs are fertilized, and embryos develop from them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.153.30.69 ( talk) 19:54, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
The existence, age, and size of the fetus are determined using the ancient Chinese science-art of magnetic resonance imaging.
Citation? Street sellers certainly don't use MRI machines (see Magnetic resonance imaging) Fireartist ( talk) 16:21, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
I have removed this notice. The notice referred to the talk page. The talk page does not contain any discussion on that matter - apart from the discussion on "alive" cooking. As such I think if there are documented animal rights concerns, a notable campaign against Balut or whatever then such information should be added, but a blanket notice without further info is inappropriate - unless we want to add it to every single food related page.
