In Panama, you can find “guineo eggs”—not chicken eggs, but eggs cooked inside tiny green bananas (guineos). 🍌🥚 Locals sometimes steam or boil the banana with the egg inside, creating a sweet-and-savory combo that looks totally ordinary from the outside—but the inside is a surprise.

Even stranger: in some rural areas, people will eat fertilized eggs that have already started developing, a practice similar to balut in the Philippines. It’s considered a delicacy and packed with protein, but definitely not for the faint of heart.
