    For some reason it seams more disgusting to cook it and eat it, than it does to just eat it raw. Either way, yuck.

    Oh, and that site? Includes the instructions to discard the "membranes" around the placenta. Why, because eating membrane is disgusting?

    I knew a woman who ate her own placenta after giving birth; she thought it was "natural" and when her mare gave birth, she naturally offered the placenta up to the mare. The horse, very sensibly, kicked her and pushed the placenta out of the stall. It was very "Why do you think I expelled it in the first place, bitch?" of her.


    And I'm too lazy to read through three pages (isn't Pagedown so much easier? But no extra clicks, I get it) so I'm just gonna say that when I blogged this today I also found a link to a site that lists a whole bucketload of recipes for placenta, including...a placenta cocktail:

    This is so not new. About six years ago, I went to a party in London where a woman was serving her placenta--frozen eight months earlier--mixed into a pate'. Me, in the middle of the party: "Are you people fucking kidding me! Why don't you just suck each others' eyeballs out of your heads?" It was like that scratching record/silence moment, and everyone stared.

    I will only eat placenta if it is wrapped in pancetta, but I'm a food snob.

    I used to raise rabbits. The mother would eat her placenta, and sometimes even the newborn babies, and rabbits are vegetarians. So it must be good for you (though I'm not condoning eating your newborn baby -- in most cases, anyway).

    Does this qualify as cannibalism? As a newly pregnant woman dealing with morning sickness this nearly made me lose my lunch.

    @TillieHarper: Thanks! I will definitely not be dining on placenta - mine or anyone else's. I've heard of Native American women using their child's first bowel movement as a facial mask. Not something I plan on doing, but I'd smear baby shit on my face way before I'd take a bite of afterbirth.

    @kjack: I think it's "auto-cannibalism." Somewhere between chewing earwax and eating one's hand.
