Have you ever eaten it?
Would you? If you got an invite to a good friends house(you were the babies godmother/father) for a spot on lunch and they mentioned you were all going to join in eating placenta, would you eat it? Politely refuse? Tell them to go forth and multiply? Have a tiny bit? Get stuck in?
-
I'm usually full after I've finished the baby.
-
Mine assuming I had a baby, or somebody else's?
-
Ive done abit of research on this. Im no expert, but there are a few ways to eat this.
Roast Placenta
Placenta Cocktail
Placenta Lasagne
Spaghetti bologplacenta
You can even fry it and stuff.
-

Either.
Would you eat yours? Or someone elses?
-
I wouldn't eat anyone's. I might bury it under a rose bush or a tree or something to mark the birth of the baby though. But then, I've been known to tip the contents of my mooncup into my houseplants.
-
There are things I don't need to know. And certainly don't need to google.

Not thought about eating that then? Afterall, you probably eat eggs. They are chicken period arent they.
In China i see they eat chicken fetous. Abit like a hard boiled egg, but with abit of a chick in there. I saw it on TV on 'An Idiot Abroad'

Watch it. One webpage had no pictures, the next webpage i went to had a few. It wasnt pretty :sick:

Yeah, knock yourself out. But bring your own mayonnaise. (http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/natural-harvest---a-collection-of-semen-based-recipes/5198959)

Apparently it's lucky to throw the placenta from a foaling over a hedge. Not sure whether it getting stuck in the hedge was unlucky or even better than lucky but it was there for weeks if not months. Not my throw by the way.
-
Would not eat a hoomin one - prion diseases, 'n shit. :sick:
-
Maybe , if it was fried with shallots and garlic, flambéed, puréed and served as a pate on focaccia bread.
Or maybe not even then
-
We have 3 maybes.
How would those people prefer it cooked?
Snakehips has said, what about other people.
-
I'm very much afraid that if a friend offered me a portion of placenta sossidge, I'd probably say yes.
But then I tend to be of the school of thought that you should regret the things that you did, rather than the things you never did :D
-
F*cking hell - I've been having a bit more of a read around on this forum recently, but I think maybe I should stick to reading and posting "the knowledge"!

Not much CNS tissue in a placenta. I reckon it'd be fine. Not my cup of tea, really, but morally better than eating bits of dead animal I suppose.
-
I'll have mine fried in butter please, just like I do with my sausages.
I like black pudding, liver and haggis, so I'd probably like a placenta too.
-
I have seen one being eaten. Raw.
-
And it wasn't me!
-
I could tell a story of what happened to mine (or rather my mum's; or maybe actually mine; it's full of foetal blood*) when I was born;
but not here...
* mine

You've realised then. The whole cycling thing is just a front.

I'd love to hear the story

Broaden your mind, relax, you never know you might like it. And, one day you might get offered it. Now i have put the thought in your mind so you can make excuses and decide quickly. One day, you might look back and think, "cheers 1gear, you have prepared me for this time when ive been offered placenta and ive already known what to do"

By the new mother...
..."baa-aa-aa", She said.

Yup. I think I could cope with that.
-
Yeah why not.
Same reason as charlote.
-
After a few beers I'd eat anything so why not :thumbsup:
-
No, placenta is for the mothers to eat.
Breast milk however, is for everyone:
Chef at Chelsea restaurant offers customers a taste of cheese made from his wife's breast milk - NYPOST.com (http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/nurse_made_JQlMRBr5ZgO6iD07AX83MJ)
-
yeah i want breast milk too, for cheese too
-
It's very sweet compared to cow's milk.
-
Mm, placentra nom. :thumbsup:
I like new weird food and people are just vertical meats. (the habit of ordering the oddest thing at a restaurant is a merrie voyage of discovery with just occasional gagging horror followed by chips'n'salad )
But not raw, that'd be gopping. :P
-

Why any maternity nanny makes the tea at work herself ;D

Indeed, cheers :thumbsup:
Broaden your mind
Fair point.
I've had this thought quite a lot recently, that I don't know why meat, eggs, milk, internal organs from animals are considered "normal" to eat, but human, er...products are off limits (to some/most(?) people). Maybe it's something to do with the proximity to cannibalism. Anyway I've been reducing the amount of cow boob juice I consume and the number of chicken periods I eat, and I've not eaten much in the way of animal corpses for a few years now. However, for some reason cheese doesn't seem to fit into the same category. Hmm...
-

Yeah, our dogs always did that after their puppies were born.
-
Although I voted no, on reflection I'd probably give it a go. I'll eat pretty much anything - with the exception of mushy peas......

See, I always considered devil's snot mushy peas to be inedible. Then I tried them in Whitby, at the Mapgpie, and liked them. I have tried in a couple of other places since, and they were revolting....
