Balut is gross! I’m from the Philippines and I’ve never tried it. I think it’s usually duck eggs, though, and yes, they’re cooked in their own shell. They sell them in varying degrees of fertility as well, so sometimes you may get it with feathers and beaks. Yuck.

Every time I log on and see this I keep thinking it says ‘Gloria and Mia come all over chicken’. :-O
However I loved the show anyway.
Hi Gloria and Mia,
I’ve just discovered your podcast and am enjoying it a lot. Thank you!
Is the book you were trying to remember the name of “Much Depends on Dinner” by Margaret Visser?
