Never known anyone to eat it weezl but did see a program once that had a recipe for placenta pate... And I used to know someone who buried her sons placenta and planted a tree on top of it...

I'm planning on washable nappies but there's so much choice I'm stumped as to which ones to buy... This is why I'm hoping baby comes early and I can go to the baby show at the NEC and try some out... (and maybe get 'on the day discounts'!)

A girl in my sister's year at school had a baby when she was 15 and was on a Channel 4 programme about cooking and eating the placenta - could have been the one!

Wow! are they still in touch?

Apparently it reduces your chanced of post-natal depression!

I always figure 4-6 nappies a day, on a bad day 8 but that was rare.

Nooo.. They were good friends in school, but not outside (lived in different towns), and the girl never went back to school after having the baby.

I don't even want to see mine, never mind eat it!!

Managed to hurt my pelvis really badly today and have had to move off the sofa because DSS can't help himself but jiggle about...every movement is agony.

Have just ordered pizza despite having been to sainsburys

elle, was it this programme d'you think?

'In 1998, chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall cooked a placenta on his Channel 4 programme and served it at a dinner party.
He devised the recipe with mother Rosie Clear for a party to celebrate the birth of her daughter Indi-Mo Krebbs. The placenta was fried with shallots and garlic, flamb!ed, pur!ed and served as a pate on focaccia bread.
Channel 4 was severely reprimanded by the Broadcasting Standards Commission as a result, although the practice is legal.'


rest of article here for anyone interested in Tom Cruise's views on eating it!

Nope, that's not her name. I did have a quick Google, but couldn't find info on it (found what you found instead).. Maybe it wasn't Channel 4 - could have been Channel 5. It would have been in 1999-2000ish, I think.

Completely irrelevant, but I must tell someone about my lunch today.. It was ace! We went to BHS and had Afternoon Tea - came on a proper cake stand, with ham salad sandwiches (made to order) on the top, then scones, butter, jam, clotted cream and a pot of chopped strawberries, and two pots of tea - all for £6.49 Was yum!
