Balut eating contest in New York. Ok ok what is balut? Balut is a developing duck embryo that is boiled alive and eaten in the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines. They are common food in countries in Southeast Asia, such as Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. This is not your typical Eating Contest as you can imagine, but contestants said they are ready to beat out Wayne Algenio who won by consuming 18 eggs in last year’s contest.
