I’ve known quite a few women who have eaten the placenta. Even vegan women – after all no animal died to make this meat. It’s apparently a very effective way to head off postnatal depression, especially when eaten raw. If a woman’s haemorrhaging badly, placenta is a good remedy for that.

It apparently tastes like liver or any other organ meat and any offal recipe can be used.

I planted rosebushes with my placentas. I just couldn’t bring myself to chow down on them.
