OK, now I’m doper-engaged. What would happen if you mixed rennet with semen to make cheese? Is there any culture that uses reproductive fluids or organs as food? I know “humble pie” refers to the umbilical cord, but what about the uterus? I’ve read that Son-of-a-bitch stew has all the parts of a calf: organ meat and pizzle not excluded. ---
