Try balut. The mind says no, the tongue says yes.

Balut, it's a Filipino thing. Apparently if you can get past the texture it tastes really good.

At least balut is a mammal (or soon to be). I don't think I can stomach insects, though I have heard that they taste like crustations. They just look too... crispy.

The beak and all of the bones feel like small cartilage, if I even notice them. Most of the time I don't. Everything feels blended in. The different parts do feel different, but I wouldn't be able to describe how.

As for the feathers, it depends on how develop the duck is. For more mature fetuses, I guess the texture is a bit like peach fuzz? There some kind of texture to the feathers that differentiates it a bit from the rest of the duck. Overall, the duck tastes like a soupy brothy chicken that's extremely tender.

The yellow part feel just like a boiled chicken egg yolk, but softer and more savory. This is honestly my favorite part, followed by the juices in the egg.

I usually throw away the white part. It's almost always hard and tasteless. If plastic were edible, I imagine that's how it would taste.

It's best eaten with some salt and pepper, with a squirt of lemon (either by dipping or just adding into the "meat juice"). You would follow bits with some laksa leaves/Vietnamese coriander to refresh your palette.

Yeah, but you people will eat anything.
