(from the referenced site. Not for the weak of stomach!): "That practice, known as "placentophagy," did not go over well when depicted last year on the British cooking show "TV Dinner," according to The Independent, a London newspaper. The show featured a London couple celebrating the birth of their granddaughter by preparing, then eating, the baby's placenta as a means of reflecting rituals around the world and symbolically sharing in the baby's gene pool.
The placenta was fried with shallots and garlic, flambeed and pureed and served to 20 family and friends as a pate on focaccia bread. The father had 17 helpings, but other guests were less enthusiastic, the paper reported. " |

Outside our native cuisine or western cuisine, I can't remember eating something that would be called weird... |
