The placenta is not suitable as a 'superfood'

a reply to: IgnoranceIsntBlisss

True story:
I went to Taiwan for a week a year ago. They have night markets all over in the towns and city's and i wanted to experience as much as I could while there.
My first night there, I went out and found what I thought would be a good vendor and I ordered some kind of meat on a stick.
As I walked away I took a good healthy bite and my mouth refused to chew.
Right off the side walk was an old mutt and I tossed him the stick, meat and all.
This poor skinny dog took one sniff, looked at me like "WTH", got up and walked off.

So basically, according to "science". . . the placenta is the "booger" of the uterus.

And women eat it.

No, that's the mucus plug. A huge (or chunky) blob of crotch snot.

I'm sure someone's eaten it, too. Plenty of lunatic ladies out there.

You know, sometimes it is possible to give out TOO much information........

I'm thinking... in a hoagie with saurkraut and dijon mustard... it could be OK...

Could work if the whole thing comes out at once kind of like a small, gelatinous sausage. If it's more on the runny, chunky side, or just in chunks, maybe a breakfast scramble.

Nope. Breaded and deep fried. Andrew Zimmern would try it...

Oh you men, such squeemish creatures you are.

Wow.......i think we have reached a new low on here. Placenta was bad enough but mucus plugs? Really?
Everyone knows those are best fresh while they're still warm. Cooking ruins the flavor.

Mucus plug?


*I need some "me" time, excuse me please. . . . *

Some of the stuff that other cultures eat kind of freaks me out, but I guess if a person grew up in that culture it wouldn't be so bad...

I'm willing to try just about anything once, but I'd have to draw the line on placenta.

And turnips.

So you're ready for some mucus plug then?

I hear cooking makes them less gamey

Mucus plugs are great as thickeners... like okra.

Placenta gumbo.

So long as it isn't served with turnips...

Placenta gumbo.

Or in the sauce/gravy base in a casserole, I'd imagine.

Oh! How about in an escargot dip? Those baguettes won't know what hit 'em.
