Balut is delicious. It’s only “creepy” in the west.

I'm from the west and agree.

Full disclosure, I think the act of eating is creepy.

Yeah, I wouldn't call it creepy.

I would, however, have issue with the texture from what I've heard described. But I'm weird about textures

It's not creepy. It's cruel.

[–] WillardHerman 1 points 1 year ago

It can be both.

Humans seem to not mind the cruelty of what they eat. That alone is creepy. At least, to me it is.
