Yeah I ate the whole thing. How did I get it into my mouth? Well... I just put it in and chewed. I was about five beers in at this point so my confidence artificially boosted.
I'd have to say that balut isn't the worst thing I've ever eaten, but then I didn't go to lengths to PEEL IT AND INSPECT IT. Just knock open the top of the shell, pull out the hard like nugget of whites that remain, and dig in with a spoon. Try not to look. If done properly it's kind of like eating chicken soup in the shell, little liquid, some soft meat-like stuff... not so bad.
That said it looks like you bought one of the more mature one's. A good rule of thumb is to only eat them when they are less than 2 weeks matured.
Is it really the nastiest thing I've eaten? No. The ACTUAL worst thing I've eaten is heong-uh, which is fermented skate, a regional Korean dish from South Jeolla province.
It basically tastes like cat piss. It's super amonia-y and smells like it spent three weeks in a litter box. Super nasty. Inedible. Real hardcore Korean men love it. I don't.
However, I have no pictures, and even if I did, they can't compare to the balut pics, which are golden. I did steal the first two pics off of the web, though. I ate a chicken, not a duck. But I'm in it for the show.
