Them: Picture of Elder Richards and Elder Daw....Elder Richards tried balut. They're here at dinner with us.
(I had never heard of balut so I looked it up. A balut (spelled standardized as balot) is a developing bird embryo (usually a duck or chicken) that is boiled and eaten from the shell. It originates and is commonly sold as street-food in the Philippines. They are common food in countries in Southeast Asia, such as Laos (khai look ໄຂ່ລູກ in Lao), Cambodia (pong tia koun ពងទាកូន in Cambodian),[1] Thailand (Khai Khao ไข่ข้าว in Thai) and Vietnam (trứng vịt lộn or hột vịt lộn in Vietnamese).
Me: How nice to pick up my phone and find a picture of my son enjoying his dinner. Thank you!..
Them: It is my privilege to serve. I grew up on Ohio myself in Canton. I'll tell him you said hello.....
Me: How did the balut go down? Both of my parents are from Akron. Small World....
Them: He couldn't handle it :)He tried nem chau (Vietnamese Sausage) a month ago and he looked like he was going to explode. Slightly spicy. I told him not to worry on balut and that it's not like an alien was going to pop out of his chest. At least it's not too likely...
Me: He does love to try new foods.
