Wow, just wow. Not sure it is for me, but good on her for having a go!

Well, I'm with you - certainly not for me either, but I can see how it might be good for you considering what it's made of. Maybe on a week when I'm a bit short on cash for meat?

Looks like liver when it's been cooked, wonder if it tastes like it?

Surely most the nutrition woulda been cooked out after all that?

"Maybe a week when I am short on cash for meat" trust

whereis I guess so but not sure you could have it raw!

I have to say mine looked (through my drug haze) like a purple monster, not sure I could bring myself to bring it home let alone eat it!!

Just the idea of it...I'm not sure I can even look...

Given in the animal kingdom the reason the placenta is radon is a) to replenish nutrients and b) to remove evidence of a new vulnerable life that's easy pickings for predators, neither of which apply to us even we can go to fridge and midwives clear it away I just wanna say ew ew ew :)

At least you definitely know it's horse-free!

No thanks. Didn't even want to look at mine.

Well, perhaps some of the micronutrients (some of which will still remain) but the macronutrients will stay - we'd be in a bit of a pickle if cooking destroyed protein etc!

Think I'd rather just go out and get some nice fillet steak.....
