Hahaha
well, am I??
I think it's perfectly natural to do.. but some people just don't get it 
It smelt like liver being cooked, but had a very spongey/moist feel when eating. Why are we as a society so against this as a whole?? I'd rather eat that than a sausage!!

Well, I have to admit it didn't look very appetising (understatement). Maybe connotations of cannibalism?
To be fair, there are many cultures where it is sacred, I wonder why it became so distasteful to do anything with it at all. @Play_Space - Next party is Friday, June 17 from 930 - 3 am.

I did wonder that myself. There must have been a time whereby we made it 'unacceptable' rather than a norm.

Well you are Marmite and your banned in Denmark. Must make you errrrrrrr sick as Marmite I suppose. (Yes I have tried it and no jars of were harmed in the taste trial) God's gift - but don't expect it instantly. | |

Yes I noticed somebody getting rather upset. Personally I think it's a natural healthy thing to do but the vegetarian in me would certainly bault at the prospect. If you don't like what you see, what you read, then just move along. Life is too short to waste it arguing about the little things. | |

No. Just no. Baby Skyhook's is bagged and in the freezer, awaiting the right tree to be planted under. At least I hope it is - I do remember making a pizza while quite drunk that tasted quite unusual a few months ago... "Me? I'm all about the hugs. | |

Practically ever other mammalian species does it... so why not?
"Quit? Once I was thinking about quitting when I was diagnosed with brain, lung and testicular cancer, all at the same time. But with the love and support of my friends and family, I got back on the bike and I won the Tour de France five times in a row. But I'm sure you have a good reason to quit" L.Armstrong | |

In all seriousness, and in no way knocking Marmite's actions, I really couldn't. Being there at the birth (in our living room), catching baby, seeing the placenta come out, seeing the cord pulse then cutting it... I feel too connected, that it's too 'living' and too much a part of those moments to consume. Perhaps it's a male thing - mothers appear to be more open and even emotionally drawn to it; a kind of closing of a circle? Body craving nutrients back? "Me? I'm all about the hugs. | |

I don't see anything wrong with it and quite a lot both symbolically and nutritionally right. You want to be at your best and fittest to look after your baby? Of course you do. Well then why not give your self the best chance to do that by re-ingesting some of the nutrients you put aside from your body while nuturing your baby? That is all it is. As Skyhook says, a closing of the circle and a celebratory end to that part of the cycle of reproduction? Westerners and their spoilt squeamishness are stupid. Mind you I can accept that intellectually - I'd personally still find it hard to eat insects, however logical it may be! But placenta? Not a problem.
