So the staff have started trying us on slightly unusual foods and today it was duck eggs - in the picture above they look innocent enough - but low and behold these are duck eggs with a difference as they have the duckling still inside them - they are left for anything from 15 to 60 days and then boiled!
They then get served with pepper, garlic, chilli, mint/basil and lots of lime juice. You tale the top off - sip the fluid and then delve into the rest of it.....
Everything is fine if you had a blindfold on but as soon as you see whats inside it just puts you right off.....
But when in Cambodia you have to try a little of everything!! so here I am being laughed at - Xenia had already gone first and her expressions weren't given me much hope for what I was about to do - note to self always go first...
We were given a helpful tip of don't look and just mush everything inside the egg up before eating....

| I'm thinking 'what am I doing - I have only just got over some food poisoning!' |
 |
| Just laugh Jane to get through it... |
 |
| In it goes... |
 |
| At the best of times I don't like hard boiled eggs - why am I doing this... |
 |
| Not as bad as I thought - tastes of egg... |
 |
| don't look - too late - once you see it you can't like it... |
 |
| one spoon is enough for me thanks... |
 |
| Just one of the bones I didn't manage to mush up... |
DON'T look at the next picture if you have been squirming so far........
 |
| We had had enough so opened it up to see what it was like inside.... |
So that is one delicacy down just the fried Crickets and fried Trantulas to try now........
