    No, and I don't eat chicken feet either but I see them in Piggly Wiggly. [;)]

    I do eat snails broiled in butter, baluts in the PI, and raw oysters though. [:0]

    My mom ate them when she was pregnant with my little sister. Almost anything tastes good pickled. Almost. They're not bad. I've eaten them.

    Back when my home was a barstool I was know to call them supper a time or two. Haven't had any lately though. Now you've got me wanting some pig's feet. I wonder if they have them at the grocery store.

    I put some greasy lotion on my feet everynight as I go to bed. Never thought of pickling them.

    I think I might have to go buy some too, James.

    I'll eat just about anything except a sweet potato or a balut.

    Love them. Saw some in the groc store last weekend when I took my annual shopping trip with the wife. She wouldn't let me buy a jar. I may have to sneak back as I've been craving them all week.

    Yep, me and my Papa would go back to the truck for lunch and eat them/wash them down with a beer or two (Stoney's) when we went to the Hazelet(sp?) flea market meet in Pa.

    Yep, just bought a gallon jar last week. They are much better if they leave the toe jam on. Tom

    PS since they are so spicey, I only want one now and then. I usually just fish one out, take a bite and turn it loose. May take a week to eat one or may eat it all at one time. Probally depends on how much beer I have consumed! T

    As a kid, the corner store had a big jar of pickled pigs feet and a big jar of pickled eggs on the counter. I never had a desire to try either one.

    Anyone who would eat 'pickled pigs feet' would probably eat 'Kimchi' also. Don't know why I associated the two, it just came to mind.
    I like pigs feet.

    What's balut?I never would get close enough to one in the PI to see it or smell it, but it is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. [xx(]

    I guess you have to like feeling little toenails scratch your throat as you swallow!

    There are more here James:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut

    In th PI, they use to bury them in the sand on the beach and let the sun incubate them, they would be ready to eat once they were dug up. Of course you would know that James. I just threw that in for the newbies! [:D]

    This is fantasy. As probably the only real balut eater on here, here the straight skinny. They take eggs, usually duck but I've eaten chicken too, boil them a couple of days before they are due to hatch and that's it.
    You can eat them warm or cold. You chip the little end of the shell and puncture the membrane. Drink the juice out, as it taste exactly like chicken soup.
    Then you peel the eggshell as you eat. Salt and pepper to taste, but the closest thing to it would be crunchy chicken soup.
    They are a delicacy and delicious.
    No Air Force guys and damn few sailors ever eat them because of the BS that is spread about them. I've eaten them in the states too and there isn't any difference. [:p]

    Also, this isn't a very good picture of one. It doesn't show the head or beak and doesn't have enough feathers. It actually looks like a chicken ball. The beak is the crunchiest piece by the way.

    I wasn't comparing the sweet potato to pigs feet. I like pigs feet. I was comparing the sweet potato to baluts. I know they aren't exactly the same thing, but the same disgust factor.

    We will have to "agree to disagree" buddy!
    I will take a sweet tater any day over eating an almost hatched "duck" egg![xx(]

    Garbage. Like I said, this is for the newbies. The cooking of baluts would have to do with those sold to the public, and those who prefer to have tem cooked.

    As I figured,.......a balut, is from Asian culture.
    Those folks will eat anything.
    Moving, or not![xx(]
    Everything strange is also an aphrodisiac.
    Whatever, as said before,......I will pass unless dying from starvation.
