LittleToe!
When I saw you'd posted on this thread again, I wasn't sure whether to read it or not.
My first thought was, i bet he's found a nice placenta recipe from somewhere. If he has.......
On second thoughts though, what's a #23?!!! No, no! Don't tell me....she says sticking her fingers in her ears, closing her eyes and humming God save the Queen really loudly!
hey LT, nice avitar. I can't believe you are contributing to this thread.
EvilForce, "Joy....some of those nut jobs are still running around" you don't have to tell me that! That's why I don't go to the ACNM conventions too much.
Richie Rich, it is not unusual for women to bury their placenta's under a tree after a home delivery. Better than putting the placenta in the garbage and seeing the neighborhood dogs go crazy!
Joy CNM of the seen too many crazy births and needs to write a book about it class.

He was attracted by the meaty smell.
Gill:
#23 can be found on the menu of your local chinese takeaway
Joy:
I can't belive I'm contributing to this thread, either.
LOL

I guess it has to be a little gamey, like pheasant
Various Uses of Placenta
Placenta Recipes (Mothering Magazine, September 1983, Vol. 28, pg 76) Each placenta weighs approximately 1/6 of the baby's weight. Cut the meat away from the membranes with a sharp knife. Discard the membranes or feed to cat / dog.
Placenta Cocktail: 1/4 cup raw placenta, 8oz V-8 juice, 2 ice cubes, 1/2 cup carrot. Blend at high speed for 10 seconds
Placenta Lasagne: Use your favorite lasagne recipe and substitute this mixture for one layer of cheese. In 2 tbl. olive oil, quickly saute meat of 3/4 placenta, ground or minced plus 2 sliced cloves of garlic, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/2 diced onion & 2 tbl. tomato paste, or 1 whole tomato.
Placenta Spaghetti: Cut meat of 3/4 placenta into bite size pieces, then brown quickly in 1 tbl. butter plus 1 tbl. oil. Then add 1 large can tomato puree, 2 cans crushed pear tomatoes, 1 onion, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 tbl. molasses, 1 bay leaf, 1 tbl. rosemary, 1 tsp. ea. of salt, honey, oregano, basil, and fennel. Simmer 1 1/2 hours.
Placenta Stew: Meat of 3/4 placenta in bite size chunks, 1 potato (cubed), 1/4 cup fresh parsley, 2 carrots, 3 ribs celery, 1 zucchini, 1 large tomato, 1 small onion. Dredge meat in 1 tbl. flour mixed with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp. paprika, pinch of cloves, pinch of pepper, 6-8 crushed coriander seeds. Saute meat in 2 tbl. oil, then add vegetables (cut up) and 4-5 cups of water. Bring to full boil, then simmer for 1 hour.
Placenta Pizza: Grind placenta. Saute in 2 tbl. olive oil with 4 garlic cloves, then add 1/4 tsp fennel, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/4 tsp paprika, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. oregano, 1/4 tsp. thyme, and 1/4 cup of wine. Allow to stand for 30 minutes, then use with your favorite home made pizza recipe. It's a fine placenta sausage topping.
EF:
Despite our abhorrance, this thread is compelling, isn't it?
LOL
It's like a car wreck...you just can't turn your head.
LOL
ROFL
LT, of the "rubber-neck" class..
...shoot - looking at my avatar that would actually be the "no-neck" class
I couldn't resist either EF!
... my girlfriend was reading this and noticed the 'Mothers 35+' headline; she grasped herself and gasped "I'm going to be an older mother! ... I don't want to roast my placenta!
Gyles:
I would have possibly singed it without cooking it through.
For a 3lb placenta, that site would make it Gas Mark 4 for 1.5 hours.
I offered Gas Mark 5 (375*F) for 1.25hours.
