BananaQ wants to know if you have balls(Ed. Note: We did and took the balut plunge once upon a lonesome. Shaking just thinking about it. CS). They, along with East Hollywood Inc. are sponsoring a Balut Blast. Balut is a delicacy in some Southeast Asian countries: A fertilized duck egg, partially developed. The result looks like this (not for the squeamish). We first saw it on the Discovery channel on a show that featured prostitutes in Thailand having a midnight snack of balut...to make use of its aphrodisiac properties.
If you head to Wild Pug (4810 N. Broadway) on Tuesday, April 21, between 2 and 4 p.m. you can try balut for free. You do have to RSVP on the BananaQ website. They are hoping for 1000 eggs to offer and it is first come, first serve. This has "LTHForum stampede" written all over it.
C'mon. Someone one out there is a college kid, right? Don't college kids love free food?

you couldn't put the picture after the jump?
idiotic idea to put that gigantic picture on there. horrible
As opposed to running it without a photo and not having an idea of what it looks like, I suppose. Sorry, but if we're going to write about this (and other squeamish delicacies), then we have an obligation to the reader to show what it looks like. We just embedded video of Stephanie Izard slaughtering a pig two days ago.
We will resize the photo so it isn't so big, but it stays, especially since we
most would prefer not seeing that picture and that goes for watching someone slaughter a pig as well
from some one who ate the hotest seasoned and best tasting squid on the planet Earth which was cooked on the ground in Mae Sai by a a women who looked to be around 200 years old with no teeth, I say nooooo thanx!
But I await with baited breath for your review of the best place for Korean BBQ, even if it measn that I have to travel to the dreaded suburbs
riguna and magilla gorilla - You're preachin' to the choir. Just got the word to shrink that puppy. Will do it now. ;)
Spook - I'd help you with that bated breath by writing a review of Korean food but then what if you don't call me the next morning?
