The last time i was eating balut, my foreign friends
teased me about whether i feel guilty about eating cooked
unhatched chick.
I have to admit, It used to be a treat. Balut is so much a
part of our culture that we were born to and grew up with.
No one ever said it's cruel.
My question is, does anyone among you feel guilty or have you
stopped eating it?

I don't eat it as much as I used to, it is too
rich!
I don't think its cruel, what's the difference
between a full grown duck to an embryonic one?!
Nothing!, one is hatched and the other is not.
They are both ducks!
No, the breed is endangered because people are now
eating the adult as well as the unborn chicks. The
breed is also temperamental. Do you know that they
are now exporting the ducks to other parts of
Asia? As a matter of fact, some SouthEast Asians
now thinks balut is originally from their
country...but still using the word balut.
They are raising the ducks in Cambodia and
Thailand now.
Tans, I visited a barkada's balut factory in Mayondon, Laguna before I
got lassoed. This town is somewhere near College and Los Banos and
right on the shore of Laguna Lake. You are right, these ducks look
different. The coloration is closest to the mallard. They were fed
small green clams, shells and all. They are small and the size of their
eggs are out of proportion to their size. I was served a dish simply
called adobong balut. Great with Red Horse, of course. I even learned
to how spot those that can no longer lay eggs and therefore candidates
for the oven.
As far as the guilt trip, which is the subject of this thread, is
concerned, I remember posting in APH (in response to Vina's reaction to
my criticsm of French cuisine) the French practice of eating a certain
specie of little birds live from the cage. The cage with the birds is
brought to the table and a towel is draped over cage and the diner's
head. When the diners emerges from the towel, the birds should be gone
and he's picking his teeth. I'll stick to balut, thank you. (I can't
stand penoy, but I ate them anyway.)
The French! I saw a movie where the duck is cooked
half-way and then pressed, it's juices and blood
is poured into a bowl and eaten like cold soup...
They call this gourmet!!...I thought we are
barbarians! I am wrong.
Those ducks that lays the balut are Pinoy fowls,
and they can't fly. The only kind in the world.

But seriously, a few months ago, I came accross a news article.
(I wish I still have the copy but I don't anymore) Apparently, there
is a certain kind of duck which Balut makers breed for the eggs. They
are now concerned that this duck is now threatened due to Balut
production itself. More Baluts to cook less chicks to grow into adult
ducks...and eventually, another Philippine species has gone vamoos.
No Peking duck for everybody ;-)

Thanks. But with all due respect, It's not a matter of getting

flesh from young lambs).

A couple of things. First off do you eat cows? How could you? Don't you
feel guilty? You could be eating your Grandma or Father or a deceased
family member! At least that is what a Hindu would say to you.
Secondly it is my understanding that the eating of dogs is mostly done by
drunkards and falls mainly into the pulutan category and is not a food
considered for the family dinner. Or at least my one buddy told me that to
ease me (not needed but anyway).
BTW veal is from a calf that was not weaned from mother's milk.
Magingat kayong lahat ang sabi ni Kano Ako!
If symbolic relationships between man and animal is what makes you
horrified at dogburgers, what about these? Lamb and fish = symbols for
the Christian God. Veal = this is where the guilt should be. Calves
(yes, beef) are kept in crates so they cannot move around and develop
muscles. They are half-starved (corn gruel only) so their meat is
lean. Their short lives are spent from birth to death immobile. So
enjoy your veal. It came from animals tortured for your eating
pleasure.
Knock on your next door neighbors' door and ask. If you're lucky you
won't have to duck.
No kidding? Just read my description of veal somewhere in this thread.
I can post pictures but maybe that's too much.
You are the only Kano I will respect...hehehehe,
everyone deserves respect...just joking.
You are right, dogs are eaten by drunks and
women(even when drunk)won't. The true reason for
this is that no one wants to take the family's
dinner for just a little taste of the wild(It has
a wilder flavor than venison, real close tho').
Goes well with the drink.
Besides the victim is usually the homeless ones,
better than gassing them! This is actually a lot
more humane IMO. So eat me, when I die!!
now *that's* funny.
why, no i don't.
> Don't you feel guilty?
>
cows aren't pets, they're raised as prey animals. dogs, on the other
hand, are pets in much (if not most) of the world. cows aren't.
however, in the general scheme of nature, predators eat prey animals
and not other predators (at least among land animals). predators tend
to kill other predators because they are competing for the same supply
of prey animals. dogs are predatory animals, humans are predatory
animals. cows are prey animals. so cultural biases notwithstanding
predators eating predators is not a reliable food chain.

i spoke to a person from india to understand the whole "cow" thing
and the explanaation that she gave me was that since we get nourishment
from cows, eating a cow is like killing something from which we get
nourishment. and since we get nourishment from a cow, the cow becomes
a part of us, therefore, you shouldn't want to kill and eat it.
i'm like, huh??? i mean, when you kill a cow and *eat* it is also
gives us nourishment and becomes a part of us (based upon the premise
of 'what you eat is what you are'). the same holds true for any other
animal that we eat.

Interesting, tell you what, he won't see you do

eaten.

Well the cow ceases giving meat when you consume it. OTOH it keeps on
giving milk and stuff if you don't kill it and keep it calving.
BTW that is the non-Hindu rationalization a friend of mine said the same
thing, though Her Mother in Law will soon be running around the Wisconsin
farmland looking for a cow to worship and to offer food to!
Here in NE Wisconsin (as well as the rest of the state) we have a
substantial Hmong minority. PETA or some sort of whacko group paid some of
them to go get some dog and to secretly tape it. So they went to this
sorta dirt farmer type somewhere around and they did secretly tape the
slaughtering of the dogs. The Hmong then gave the tapes to the group.
Then the group took the tapes to the authorities who, I believe prosecuted
the man for cruelty to animals.
I believe this guy captured strays and feral dogs and then either sold them
to Hmongs or to laboratories. I also believe he did not take real good
care of the dogs.
Anyway.....there it is!
Wont phase me. I hunt and have killed animals plus I live in the Middle of
Wisconsin's farmland have grown up around cows and almost on a daily basis
seeing cattle carriers headed to Green Bay's meat packing plants.
Imagine that, Hmong group here in Ca. gave me some
hate e-mail telling me that they don't eat dogs.
They are distant relatives of Filipinos, you
know....similarities in culture and of course,
rice terraces! They built a small one in the
mainland.
how's that different from any other animal?

since you're from wisconsin you know that beef cattle and dairy cattle
are different breeds.
hold on here. for 10,000 years, dogs have hunted for you, they've been
your companions when you were lonely, they saved your ass when you were
in trouble. yet, the minute you feel the first pang of hunger you turn
your back on them and make them a meal?!?
i gotta tell you, you dog eaters should feel guilty about what you're
doing, if you had any conscience. i'm going to ask you one more time:
GET THE DOGS OUT OF THE FOOD CHAIN, FOLKS.
Be fair then, don't eat cows, chickens and other
meats.
I don't think dogs have hunted in Asia. It is part
of the food chain and will remain so. If you
insist on this tone you will find yourself in hot
water in Asia.
Like I said before, historically, famine made
every living thing food including humans you have
no right to insist on your view of what's right.
You have to experience hunger, and once you do
you'll be with me eating what's available. Asia's
experiences on hunger caused this, and not the way
you think.
Cows have quietly tilled, gave milk and of course
itself. Dogs hunted for other meat, one so it can
eat and man takes it away before it can eat it's
prey (well, man gives it back the scraps). Dogs,
didn't give milk.
->
->since you're from wisconsin you know that beef cattle and dairy cattle
->are different breeds.
And since I spent six years living overseas I also know most people make no
such distinction!
->Like I said before, historically, famine made
->every living thing food including humans you have
->no right to insist on your view of what's right.
->You have to experience hunger, and once you do
->you'll be with me eating what's available. Asia's
->experiences on hunger caused this, and not the way
->you think.
During the Seige of Vicksburg in our Civil War the beseiged were eating
just about anything they could get their hands on. Or was it Petersburg or
both? Well the point is that horses, dogs, shoe leather, asses etc were
all considered edible because it was that or starve or succumb to disease.
Let me see...one generation of fat satisfied
humans, then people forget. In Asia, there's
always a period of famine, this doesn't happen
often now because hunger over there causes a human
wave of aid. But the last generation did
experience this, the generation before them even
greater.
You gotta tell us? Why, fuck you, sir, and your dog. Yum yum
bitchburgers just entered my menu. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO ABOUT IT,
DOGBREATH?
Also, dogs tend to be lean, especially strays and I can't
envision many prime cuts on a pooch. Maybe you could breed
them selectively for meat. But I doubt that the economics
would be good.
Beyond that, I find my aversion to eating meat increases as
I get nearer genetically to the species consumed. Fish are
not a problem, cold-blooded as they are, and mere reflexes
with fins. Chickens are not much higher up the genetic
scale and easy to chow down on. Pigs are a problem. I
work near an abatoir and often see trucks full of hogs
going in. They have such sensitive, human eyes peering
through the sides of the trailer. They remind me of Jews
going to Auschwitz. Of course, I love lechon anyway.

i suppose that you could carry the story on to talk about stories of
cannibalism among people who journied westward during the frontier
days (when land was being snatched away from the prior occupants, i
might add).
so then you could say that in times of desparation people have eaten
horses, dogs, AND PEOPLE...
yeah, but the typical response by predators in times of famine is to
seek smaller prey animals. for instance, lions will chase small
animals for food when necessary. the fact is, preying on other
predators is not a reliable source of food; so much so that most
predators don't bother. other predators breed much too slowly, and
they can only grow to the extent that their prey thrive. so for a
predator to depend upon another predator for food, the lower (in the
food chain) predator would have to find enough prey to keep up a
population. however, if there is enough prey for the lower predator
to keep going, it would make more sense for the higher (in the food
chain) predator to go after those same prey. in which case the higher
predator has an incentive to kill the lower predator in order to reduce
competition for the food supply.
i think that dogeating is ultimately a cultural thing. without ever
having been in asia i can tell you that if any significant number of
people really did resort to dogeating, dogs would quickly become
extinct; then people would end up starving anyway, or doing what
they should have done all along - go after the same prey after which
the dogs were going.
i think that you, yourself said that only a small number of filipinos
are actual dogeaters. after all, since it is "beer food" i can't
imagine that guys are sitting around eating (hot) dogs and slugging
down beers in the middle of a famine. you yourself also admitted to
being a dogeater; you've got internet access so i don't imagine that
you'll be personally seeing any famines in the near future; yet have
you ceased the practice of eating dogs? from what you write, i gather
not.
1 small stray or wild animal, dressed, and cut into serving-size pieces.
Brown the meat in a little oil in a heavy pot.
Combine
4 cloves of minced garlic
1/2 cup vinegar
1/4 cup cracked peppercorn
salt to taste
1 bay leaf
Bring to a medium boil and simmer over low head until meat is tender.
Serve over rice.

I have personally tasted dog meat and I didn't find anything exciting about the
taste or aroma of the meat. I didn't feel any repulsion in my stomach, or a
conscious thought that I am eating (or tasting) man's best friend. Given a
choice between dog meat and goat meat, I prefer the latter.

I've never eaten balut.. I have an American stomach... ;P
I think, though, that there is nothing wrong with eating balut.... It's
like eating a chicken! At least the little chick in there wasn't born
and then killed...
What I found cruel though is buying baby chicks at a petshop and giving
them to little kids on easter... and then the little guys are neglected

attitudes that you're trying to impose on others.
We don't need to justify anything to you and you have no right to tell
us what to do or not to do with our AKC registered pets/prey/fodder.
It's that simple. If you persist in doing that, stand by for heavy
rolls.
I personally don't eat dogs, not because they are my livelihood, but I
just see no need to. If I have to I will, without hesitation.
You've already expressed your opinions, and re-expressing them over and
over again won't change anybody else's. Don't start a futile crusade
here because you will lose right from the start.
Dogs are in fact high up there in the food chain,
they are predators even when domesticated. Your
naivette is obvious here. Cats and dogs hunt for
food when left alone, even while in your house!
They also procreate plentifully!!
Even tho' dogs are eaten, they are not in danger
of extinction, among animals they have survived by
being friendly with their hosts, acting in a
symbiotic relationship with humans.
In most countries, prob. all countries, dogs have
multiplied so much that SPCA's have more trouble
keeping them and finding homes for them that they
gas more of them to sleep. Wouldn't it be more
humane if they are fed to the hungry?
Man, I wish people like you would wake up and stop
forcing other people w/c is proper food, there is
no such thing as proper food!
And I don't feel guilty at all, I will eat what's
served to me, be it snake or dog!
I have explained everything to you and still
refuses, there are too many idiots who are humane
towards animals and yet have a completely inhumane
attitude towards their fellow humans! Are you one
of those? You are beggining to sound like one!
It may be that what Ronald was trying to say (and I'm not sure - but it
seemed that way) is that eating dogs is inefficient. Way back in college
bio (or agriculture?) they taught us that it takes 10 lbs of food to make 1
lb of animal. For example, it takes 10 lb of corn to make 1 lb of cow, and
10 lb of cow to make 1 lb of human. So if you eat corn, it takes 10 lbs to
gain a lb, but if you eat cow, it takes 100 lbs of corn for you to gain 1
lb, because it has to go through the cow first. IOW, eating predators is
inefficient because you lose 90% of the mass for each link in the chain, and
the only ones I can think of that we eat in the US are alligators (which is
more of a novelty - you won't find them in your local supermarket) and fish
(which are caught, not raised in farms).
For me, I've never eaten dog, but would try it. And it does seem to be
quite a waste to gas and incinerate all those animals at the SPCA - but
we're so overloaded with food here, would it really make a difference if we
fed them to people? And OT - they don't really gas them, they put them in a
chamber and suck the air out of it so they suffocate (it's cheaper). It
would be a lot more humane to shoot them in the head and feed them to
someone.
We do have a lot of food here, so dog isn't in the
menu. Not in mine, nor any Fipinos I know of in
this country, but I would not hessitate nor would
I feel any guilt. Yes, I agree, it is inefficient
to raise a predators as consumable, this is not
the issue I am showing him. No one I know of does
this in the Philippines. Dogs in the wilds where
there isn't any effort made to raise them is
almost always the ones that get eaten there
anyway.
Of course hunting with a bumpered vehicle is the
favorite way to get a dog, hehehehe... very few
actually eat them, even if a restaurant posts
asucena in front, drinkers actually prefer goat
meat more than the "rrrruff" kind.
Tried alligator, its fine...I won't look for it
tho'.

Food is quite expensive in this country especially for the majority of the
70 million Filipinos. A typical Filipino diet consists mostly of
carbohydrates (rice, corn, sweet potato, cassava) and some protein from
pork, beef, chicken and fish (which you have to buy).
Dog meat usually comes from stray dogs which we have lots of (which are
free). There are some who buy dogs (for eating) from willing owners but at
prices which are very cheap compared to traditional meats.
Although very few people eat dogs from where I come from, there are
provinces which consider dog dishes ("inazucenang aso" as they call it) as
a delicacy.

Missed the original post so this is a reply to a reply.
Personally, as a foreigner, I guess I have some racial memory thing,
slight distaste for people eating dogs. Mans best friend and all that.
But really, if you step back and look at it intellectually, there is
no essential difference between dog and pig (lechon baboy - yum). I
have tried dog once an it wasn't all that bad, perhaps a little
strong. I do object to the way they are slaughtered (beaten to death)
but then all that screaming pigs make when their throats have been
slit is hardly a triumph for animal rights.
Unless you can show some essential difference between dog pica-pica
and McDonalds, I don't really think you can comment on this.

look man, it's bad enough that they're serving horse meat at
mcdonald's; i am *not* going to take to eating four-legged friends.
but again, to take it out of the sociological context and into the
natural food chain, there are predatory animals and prey animals.
the natural food chain is that predators eat prey animals, not
other predators (at least among land animals). consistent with
this natural food chain relationship, prey animals tend to have
greater fecundity so that they can replace losses to predators.

That is not true, and this is also a stupid
argument....see your dog's sinewy muscles bit
between my teeth? I'm using a toothpick now to
take it out!
There's no difference to one eating. Food is food.
but i would like to eat the "one-day-old-chick" deep fried again, i
haven't eaten one for the last eleven years.

A balut is a well boiled developed duck embryo, and the first time I ate it,
well, I felt really strange. If it is only one day old, you might just have
a hard boiled egg.
I like the ones with meat to it. After all, yoke is colesterol. I like it
when there is already a few feathers starting to develope, and the head is
formed. But, it has to be well boiled.
I think, I almost ate one once, that was not completely cooked. Not
enjoyable.

I wasn't talking about the taste. They are completely different. It's
like comparing chicken with beef. Dog tastes good but in its own way.

Pass the kethup.
Andy
Now this is one honest statement. Now if you had kethup pour some in a bowl,
add hot water, a little salt and pepper and you'll have tomato dog soup.
