Charmy's Duck

Maybe it was my initiation here in the Philippines when I ate my first Balut (see my blog of November 13 2007). OK, there are many Pinoy and Pinay, which never ate that. Perhaps my first Balut was also my last one at the same time. Why? Last week I visited a family. Their daughter Charmy brought home a still very young duck. We called it Pato (Tagalog for duck). The still small duck is a cute little thing. Also I asked myself which of us has more hair on the chest – the duck or me. Charmy's mother said, the duck is still too small, that we can eat it for Christmas.
