The Animal rights activist: Stop serving "Balut" in New York. A petition started by an animal rights activist to ban "Balut" from a New York restaurant is making the rounds online. Balut is a fertilized growing egg embryo that is boiled or steamed and eaten from the shell.
A magazine called "When in Manila" wrote:
“„It's great to hear that Filipino-themed restaurants such as Jeepney Gastropub and Maharlika are making its way to the ever-competitive New York City, but just as Filipino food is starting to gain recognition, an animal rights activist is already keen on taking an iconic Filipino delicacy off the menu!
Despite the fact that it is regularly offered as street food in the Philippines, animal rights activist Gabrielle Hardy launched an online petition at yousignanimals.com to remove balut from Maharlika's menu. She said:
“„Maharlika, a restaurant in Manhattan, New York is selling what seems to be the strangest food one can possibly eat in the Big Apple. The name of the dish is called balut. It’s essentially a hard boiled egg that contains a partially formed duck fetus inside. In other words, the baby duck has not yet even been born!
'Business Insider' revealed that a crew visited with restaurant owner Nicole Ponseca and "learned how to eat and love this dish." According to the proprietor, it is delicious and high in vitamins and proteins that humans require.
Hardy, on the other hand, stated that the truth is that this meal is disgusting and should not be offered in restaurants. As a result, she has requested that balut be removed from the menu as soon as possible!
