Kitty said: Yes.Why do non asians hate balut?-I try seach this on internet but no results found.Maybe this is a stupid question.
Mike said: oh,no,you are wrong.I have found as below for this question(Why do non asians hate balut?),it will help you,my kids.
Answer:
Speaking as a non-Asian who has never eaten balut (but has seen people freak out about it for no good reason, really, on 'Fear Factor'), I think it's because of the 'strangeness' of it to someone who's not familiar with it; we're used to eating eggs differently.
Europeans eat plenty of decidedly bizarre foods too, however (paging haggis, haggis, please come to the front desk), so it's only a lack of familiarity with the stuff. Assuming it's tasty, I bet if you fed it to a non-Asian tourist without telling him what it was, he'd like it, generally.
I'm Asian and I feel like I can hurl right now thinking about balut.
I'm asian too but even I dare not eat that.
i have eaten balut........but i would rather have a hot-dog or hamburger........its what we are used to eating.....not really bad tasting.......the balut........
I am a Asian, and I dare not go a mile within the radius of any balut :)
I'm Asian and and don't like balut.
I know plenty of people who will not touch it. They told me that only Filipinos eat it.
Looks like you don't have to be "non asian" to hate balut.
What is balut anyway?
The idea of "eating a not totally formed baby duck" does freak people out. By the way, not all Asians like it or know what a balut is. Balut is eaten mainly in the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia and part of China.
It's also a matter of familiarity, eating a "still breeding" beef steak used to be disgusting for people who just arrived in North America.
So Balut remains a cuisine only enjoyed by few who are either familiar with it since young or who overcame their fear to taste the delicacy.
who the hell would eat that its so disgusting they put it on fear factor
