Can you eat this delicacy?

This is duck eggs that have been incubated until the fetus is all feathery and beaky, and then boiled alive. The bones give the eggs a uniquely crunchy texture. They are enjoyed in Cambodia, Vietnam and Philippines, typically sold by street vendors at night, out of buckets of warm sand. They are often served with beer. Salt, chili, vinegar-onion sauce, lime juice, ground pepper are served as seasoning for the egg. Fertilized eggs are kept in sunlight and stored in basket to retain it warmth, and after 9 days the eggs are checked under light to reveal the embryo inside the egg. Later, after 8 days, it will be ready for cooking. Balut is considered as a major source for protein and calcium. The ideal balut is of 17-days-old, sometimes 21 days.
