Placenta eating
« on: 27 January, 2011, 09:31:23 pm »
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.

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.

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.

Maybe , if it was fried with shallots and garlic, flambéed, puréed and served as a pate on focaccia bread.

Or maybe not even then

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

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 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...

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

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"

Yup. I think I could cope with that.
