Mmmmm... Plasagne! - Some Recipe Suggestions for Your Placenta

Apparently, not only have I been making an incredibly beautiful "so-cute-I-could-eat-him-up" baby boy, but I've also been making another very special meal the past 9 months or so. Placentophagy is the act of eating the mammalian placenta after birth and is performed by many animal species and also by disgusting, depraved hippies.

Besides being an especially rich source of nutrition, eating the placenta may help animals remove traces of childbirth which would help protect their newborns from predators.

Many hippies engage in Placenta Parties where they all get together after the birth, bang on drums, and make placenta pancakes. The texture of the human placenta is said to be springy and taste similar to beef. This must be an especially exciting adventure for hippies who do not partake in meat. Make mine medium rare, please!

I've collected a couple of websites that detail out delicious recipes such as "Roast Placenta", "Placenta Lasagne", "Placenta Spaghetti Bolognaise", and "Placenta Stew".
