Any good placenta pate recipes out there?

[bealcain]

the title says it all....want to eat my placenta as a pate, not a casserole and can't find any recipes!!

Are you serious?

websites about lotus birth and that sort of thing might be your best bet. i imagine that treating it like liver would be your best bet to be honest.

i am very serious aiti.....

lulu i thought treating it like liver was the best option too, just wondered if there was perhaps a recipe as i dont fancy making one lot, for trial and error and then doing it again!

although have never tried it myself

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall (oh yes him - that strangely fanciable man ) did a placenta pate recipe.

It involved garlic, onions, fresh thyme, red wine.

I quite fancied giving it a go but didn't get my placenta into the fridge in time. It was high summer when I had my last and by the time I got my placenta home it was a bit 'high' after having sat in a tupperwear on the postnatal ward all night. My second placenta, like my second baby was born at home. What a magnificent thing it was - it was huge (baby was nearly 11lbs)... the midwives were oohing and ahhhing over it and ignoring the baby! I wanted to dissect it so bunged it in the freezer until I had time to do it properly. It looked awful after I desfrosted it and cut it up - fresh I think it would have been ok.

Sabire, i totally agree re: hugh!!

would they hosp. be unlikely to store in fridge for me??

Mine refused to let me put mine in the fridge 'for health and safety reasons'.

If I ever gave birth again, and did it in hospital, I'd want to clarify the situation re placenta storage straight away. The added benefit of this would be that you would instantly be labelled a 'supremo yogurt knitter/lentil weaver' and they might deliberately avoid sending a 'Nurse Ratchett' type midwife in to look after you in labour!

lol sabire. Or you might end up with the horrible one coz they don't want to give her/him to anyone else!!
