Placenta Jerky

[FireFly]

Yes. Given that the placenta gives the life and nutrients to the newborn, the idea is that if a woman eats it after giving birth, she then passes the nutrients left in it on to the baby through breastmilk.

It's a nutritious snack!

Nah we'd fill it with meat and then cover it in batter actually. That way clogs up the arteries more. Stuffing porridge in things tho? Where did you get that from?

Genuine Haggis

1 sheep's stomach bag plus the pluck (lights, liver and heart)
1 lb Lean mutton
6 oz Fine oatmeal
8 oz Shredded suet
2 large Onions, chopped

Salt and pepper about 1/4 pint beef stock. Soak the stomach bag in salted water overnight. Place the pluck (lights, liver and heart) in a saucepan with the windpipe hanging over the edge. Cover with water and boil for 1 1/2 hours. Impurities will pass out through the windpipe and it is advisable to place a basin under it to catch any drips. Drain well and cool. Remove the windpipe and any gristle or skin. Mince the liver and heart with the mutton. (Add some of the lights before mincing if you wish.) Toast the oatmeal gently until pale golden brown and crisp. Combine with minced mixture, suet and onion. Season well and add sufficient stock to moisten well. Pack into the stomach bag, filling it just over half-full as the stuffing will swell during cooking. Sew up the bag tightly or secure each end with string. Put an upturned plate in the base of a saucepan of boiling water, stand the haggis on this and bring back to the boil. ****** the haggis all over with a large needle to avoid bursting and boil steadily for 3 to 4 hours. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

Wow cheese you are one sick puppy. I dont think we wanna know what u do to the haggis after cooking it if its been blanked out :P

Speaking as someone who has seen a real-life placenta and afterbirth, there is no fataing way anyone would ever eat that no matter how you cooked it. Sweet Jesus, I know it sustained my son for nine months and was created by my wife's beautiful body, but that was the most revolting thing I have EVER seen. Ever.

Yup, pretty much.

When I was in university I remember one of my friends wretching when he told me about his nephew being born. He followed it up with the fact that after the birth his sister and the midwife floured, fried and ate the placenta. The amount of wretching that he experienced while telling us was comical!

There was an old SNL skit called "Placenta Helper".

A censored Saturday Night Live skit featuring--you'd better sit down for this--Placenta Helper. "Placenta Helper lets you stretch your placenta into a tasty casserole," it sez here. "Like Placenta Romanoff--a zesty blend of cheeses makes for the zingy sauce that Russian czars commanded at palace feasts," etc. The last line was supposed to have been a voice-over from Don Pardo: "Placenta Helper--make a rare occasion, a rare occasion." Very tasteful. Why it got cut we'll never know.

Is there really such a thing as ... placenta stew?

In the future, when there's Soylent Green, the grandsons of our grandsons' grandsons might be eating placenta.

They have no placenta. I think......
