Back to normality. You could probably get that with an offer.

" a mother preparing and eating placenta pate to celebrate her daughter's birth. Incidentally, for those of you wishing to know how the "offending" placenta was cooked, it was fried with shallots and garlic, flamb�ed, pureed and served on focaccia bread. In fact it must have been pretty tasty as the father of the child was reported to have had seventeen helpings, though apparently, other guests on the programme were less enthusiastic! The practice of eating placentas was also fashionable in the 1970s among so-called "earth mothers", but its popularity has since declined, with few mothers wanting to take their placentas home from hospital with them! Those people who agree with the practice of eating placentas argue that it is a perfectly normal thing to do, whilst those against are asking if a placenta belongs to the mother or the baby? If to the latter, this would imply cannibalism as pointed out by some of the nine viewers who complained about the television programme. However, during pregnancy the placenta is part of the mother, existing for the specific purpose of nourishing the baby until birth, after which it is expelled, ceasing to be part of her."

Eight years ago, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall served up a woman's afterbirth at a dinner party, having first fashioned it into pât! (sweating it with shallots, pureeing, etc. If you genuinely want to know how this is done, follow Delia's Complete Cookery Course recipe for chicken liver pât!, only where it says "chicken livers", use a placenta). Channel 4, which televised the dinner, received a number of complaints, to which it made the slightly juvenile reply that it wasn't actually illegal. One of the nine complainants, incidentally, was Labour MP Kevin McNamara, who said it was "offensive to the public". I find this truly curious. It's offensive to some members of the public that any of us should eat meat at all. It's offensive to others that a labour MP should find the natural by-product of the bounteous creation of new life "offensive". It's a subjective business, offensiveness.
