Cardi B’s First Taste of Balut: Hilarious Reaction Leaves Netizens in Stitches, Many Express Sympathy

Balut is one of those foods often categorized as challenging to eat, if not downright… terrifying. While many people enjoy this delicacy, others find it quite intimidating. Due to this factor, balut is often used as a food challenge. Recently, rapper Cardi B shared her first experience trying balut on her personal TikTok channel. And indeed, her reaction left netizens unable to contain their laughter.

Before trying it, Cardi B seemed very excited. She prepared the balut along with salt and chili to accompany it. Perhaps not only Cardi B but also the viewers were eagerly anticipating whether she would enjoy this delicacy.

After tasting the liquid inside the balut, which seemed “smooth,” she tried her first bite of the balut and immediately reacted “swiftly.” She immediately spat out the balut and… ran away. Despite it being just the yolk of the egg, which is quite easy to eat, she couldn’t handle it.

After the taste test, Cardi B shared that she didn’t like this dish. This is quite normal as there are many people around the world who can’t eat it, or even fear it. Some Vietnamese netizens also left comments expressing sympathy:

• Probably in the minority, but I can’t eat this either.
• I wouldn’t dare to try it at all.
• Last time, I accidentally ate a duckling with feathers and bones, and I’ve been too scared to eat it again ever since.
