For me, balut (partially formed duck fetus boiled and served in the shell) is on the same culinary level as Scottish haggis (meat and barley stuffed in a sheep stomach and then boiled). Plus, with it being on the same level as boiled lobster or foie gras, I'd also object to it on the grounds of animal cruelty. (The duck eggs are boiled while the fetus is still alive.) So, I'm glad it's NOT part of the Tiki experience.
