eat balut a delicacy in the philippines balut is a fertilized duck egg with a nearly developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell they are common everyday food in some countries in southeast asia such as in the philippines cambodia and vietnam popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high protein hearty snack balut are mostly sold by street vendors in the regions where they are available they are often served with beer the filipino and malay word balut balot means wrapped depending on pronunciation preparation balut are most often eaten with a pinch of salt though some balut eaters prefer chili and vinegar to complement their egg the eggs are savored for their balance of textures and flavors the broth surrounding the embryo is sipped from the egg before the shell is peeled and the yolk and young chick inside can be eaten all of the contents of the egg are consumed although the whites may remain uneaten in the philippines balut have recently entered haute cuisine by being served as appetizers in restaurants cooked adobo style fried in omelettes or even used as filling in baked pastries balut making is not native to the philippines a similar preparation is known in china as maodan chinese pinyin máodàn literally feathered egg and chinese traders and migrants are said to have brought the idea of eating fertilized duck eggs to the philippines however the knowledge and craft of balut making has been localized by the balut makers magbabalut today balut production has not been mechanized in favor of the traditional production by hand although balut are produced throughout the philippines balut makers in pateros are renowned for their careful selection and incubation of the eggs fertilized duck eggs are kept warm in the sun and stored in baskets to retain warmth after nine days the eggs are held to a light to reveal the embryo inside approximately eight days later the balut are ready to be cooked sold and eaten vendors sell cooked balut out of buckets of sand used to retain warmth accompanied by small packets of salt uncooked balut are rarely sold in southeast asia in the united states many asian markets occasionally carry uncooked balut eggs though there is not much demand for them in the u s the cooking process is identical to that of hard boiled chicken eggs and baluts are enjoyed while still warm duck eggs that are not properly developed after nine to twelve days are sold as penoy which look smell and taste similar to a regular hard boiled egg in filipino cuisine these are occasionally beaten and fried similar to scrambled eggs and served with a vinegar dip steps in eating balut 1 crack a small hole on the more rounder part of the shell if you hit a hard white piece then you did it wrong 2 crack it a little more until the hole is the size of a bottle cap 3 sprinkle whatever what seasoning you would desired sip the juice 4 don t be afraid to eat the small little duck inside just eat it

don t let blowing your nose or taking off your shoes land you in hot water when you travel by sallie brady touching someone where it s offensive korea thailand china europe the middle east what s offensive personal space varies as you travel the globe in mediterranean countries if you refrain from touching someone s arm when talking to them or if you don t greet them with kisses or a warm embrace you ll be considered cold but backslap someone who isn t a family member or a good friend in korea and you ll make them uncomfortable in thailand the head is considered sacred never even pat a child on the head what you should do instead observe what locals are doing and follow suit in eastern countries remember that touching and public displays of affection are unacceptable in places like qatar and saudi arabia men and women are forbidden from interacting let along touching knowing your right from your left where it s offensive india morocco africa the middle east what s offensive many cultures still prefer to eat using traditional methods their hands in these cases food is often offered communally which is why it s important to wash your hands before eating and observe the right hand is for eating and the left hand is for other duties rule if you eat with your left hand expect your fellow diners to be mortified and when partaking from a communal bowl stick to a portion that s closest to you do not get greedy and plunge your hand into the center what you should do instead left handed attempt to be ambidextrous even children who are left handed in these cultures are taught to eat with their right hand or at least explain yourself to your fellow diners before plunging in keeping your clothes on where it s offensive scandinavian countries turkey what s offensive wearing bathing suits shorts and t shirts underwear or any other piece of clothing into a sauna hammam or other place of physical purification in some cultures a steam room or a sauna is considered a place of purity and reflection where the outside world i e your clothes should be left outside in some scandinavian countries it s common for entire families to sauna together in the nude what you should do instead sitting on a folded towel is considered acceptable if you re too modest to appear naked strip down but wrap yourself in a towel getting lei d off where it s offensive hawaii what s offensive refusing or immediately removing a lei what you should do instead leis in the hawaiian islands aren t just pretty floral necklaces that you get when you check into your hotel or show up at a luau they re a centuries old cultural symbol of welcome friendship and appreciation never refuse a lei it s considered highly disrespectful or whip it off in the giver s presence if you re allergic to the flowers explain so but offer to put it in some place of honor say in the center of the table or on a statue note that closed leis should be worn not hanging from the neck but over the shoulder with half draped down your chest and the other half down your back looking them in the eye or not where it s offensive korea japan germany what s offensive for americans not making direct eye contact can be considered rude indifferent or weak but be careful how long you hold someone s gaze in other countries in some asian nations prolonged eye contact will make a local uncomfortable so don t be offended if you re negotiating a deal with someone who won t look you straight in the eye if toasting with friends in a german beer hall your eyes had better meet theirs if they don t a german superstition says you re both in for seven years of bad luck in the bedroom what you should do instead avoid constant staring and follow the behavior of your host and by all means look those germans straight on drinking alcohol the wrong way where it s offensive latin america france korea russia what s offensive every culture has different traditions when it comes to drinking etiquette fail to consume a vodka shot in one gulp in russia and your host will not be impressed refill your own wine glass in france without offering more to the rest of the table and you ve made a faux pas in korea women can pour only men s drinks not other women s and if you want a refill you need to drain your glass and if you re in latin america never pour with your left hand that s bad luck what you should do instead until you re culturally fluent leave it to your pals to pour blowing your nose where it s offensive japan china saudi arabia france what s offensive some cultures find it disgusting to blow your nose in public especially at the table the japanese and chinese are also repelled by the idea of a handkerchief as mark mccrum points out in his book going dutch in beijing the japanese word hanakuso unpleasantly means nose waste what you should do instead if traveling through eastern and asian countries leave the hankies at home and opt for disposable tissues instead in france as well as in eastern countries if you re dining and need to clear your nasal passages excuse yourself and head to the restroom worst case scenario make an exaggerated effort to steer away from the table let s hope you don t have a cold removing your shoes or not where it s offensive hawaii the south pacific korea china thailand what s offensive take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a london dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in asia hawaii or the pacific islands and you ll be considered disrespectful not only does shoe removal very practically keeps sand and dirt out of the house it s a sign of leaving the outside world behind what you should do instead if you see a row of shoes at the door start undoing your laces if not keep the shoes on talking over dinner where it s offensive africa japan thailand china finland what s offensive in some countries like china japan and some african nations the food s the thing so don t start chatting about your day s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner you ll likely be met with silence not because your group is unfriendly but because mealtimes are for eating not talking also avoid conversations in places a country might consider sacred or reflective churches in europe temples in thailand and saunas in finland what you should do instead keep quiet road rage where it s offensive hawaii russia france italy around the globe what s offensive honk on molokai or fail to pay a police officer a fine a k a bribe on the spot when you re stopped for
