When It's Past Midnight and Nothing's Brewing

They say that when people can't sleep in the middle of the night, a lot of things run like wild horses in their minds and in my case I'll say it's quite the same. And another two things I love doing on wee hours are taking a shower and eating whatever is left from dinner if there is, apparently there's none for tonight. I'm itching to get out of the house and grab something from the nearby convenience store.

Hmmm,. what if I'll try eating "balut" just for a change? For those who are not familiar with "balut", it is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell, and commonly sold as a street food here in the Philippines.

I guess I need to call out to my equally insane and adventuresome friends to come and join me eat something bizarre, and please God give me the strength to do it. This is just one of my crazy thoughts though, enough with trying everything just for the experience, I really can't picture myself doing it! No, I'll do it because I'm no sissy, as they say there really is no harm in trying. After this I can live life with no fear, I'm done eating a duck fetus anyway!


The aftermath:


Argh, whoever said this is a hearty snack is definitely not telling the truth. Now that I'm done with it there'll be no next time! Oh yes, I did went outside and bought one, and darn it I want to gulp a bottle of vodka now. Bottoms up!
