My love for balut started at a young age. My kids (now 13 and 8) love it. I make it a point to grab a dozen when I see it in the Asian grocery. My husband, not a Filipino, haven't had the guts to try one out. I've been trying to convince him, but to no avail. That's why I fully understand how you feel.
