Do people actually eat their placenta once they've given birth? Surely that's classed as cannibalism?! I have seen a dog eat their placenta when giving birth however humans not so much?! |

"I can remember it was the thing in the 1970s. My sister in law did it with my niece."
Back in fashion again apparently 
I had the misfortune of coming across an article on it the other morning which almost made me lose my breakfast |

"Not much in england but they do in other countries. Make a ritual out of it
Is there a way to eat it or do they just guzzle it up uncooked?!"
google it. I know some make some kind of meal.
Why are you asking. Fancied a bit of placenta for dinner? |

It's like liver. It's incredibly nutritious, full of iron etc. People either fry it up or have it made into capsules to make it easier to take. It's definitely becoming more en vogue.
Not for me, as wacky and hippie some of my ideas might be |

Placentas are one of the most amazing organs ever I learnt so much about them, as you have too, being a midwife they are the babies life support system so full of nutrients and goodness but I certainly would not want to eat one |

"Does the placenta not make you sick?! Surely it's like eating your own shit?! Insides?!!??"
Its not shit so i doubt it tastes like it.
Its often made into capsules.
Its full of good stuff. |

My biology teacher at school ate hers.
She was weird though. Once told the class that if it was up to her she would bring her husband in and show us how sex really worked without the need for diagrams or pointless videos |

I seem to remember watching a TV show years ago where Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall made pate out of a woman's placenta.
I wouldn't have baulked at trying it, and it probably would have been a huge improvement on the hospital food, but honestly, getting down to cooking soon after giving birth wasn't at the forefront of my mind ... |

cannibalism? It's not a human-being. |
