I was *seriously* considering getting this for you for Christmas. Seriously. However, it would be a funny joke, disgusting and therefore of your calibre, and then it would become the (gooey, sticky) white elephant in the room for the next couple hundred years.
How are the proportions in the recipes? Like, does the semen brulee call for a pint of the stuff? Because I'm not sure that the result is worth the farming.
I haven't been inside (the book) yet, but you know I was thinking of getting this for Mars...and as for farming, perhaps we could employ the truffle pigs on their day off?
I SO wanted to eat my placenta to avoid post pardum depression and to have that rare, odd experience. But the fuckers said they were going to take it to the lab and it would be soaked in formaldehyde. Fuck the man for ruining my one big chance to taste my own baby nest!
I discovered this when I kept my cat's uterus after she was spayed...I got to take it home.
Anything they cut out of you is yours, and you have the right to ask for it. And I'm sorry you didn't get to eat the placenta - you can have mine when the time comes, if you like? I certainly won't be partaking...
Well there was a medical reason for taking it and fucking with it I'm just sad about it anyway. They send it to a lab to have the edges checked and make sure they got the whole thing out. If not you can end up with a nasty infection. It's a hospital thing. I could have told them not to do it but at the time I asked them to save it for me I was 1/2 nekkid and spread eagle post-delivery on a gurney so I wasn't in any mood to argue. Fortunately I've not had any depression anyway. It would have made a nice meal though. :(
I don't believe anyone would automatically get PND by not ingesting the placenta - and I may be very wrong here, but you don't appear to be predisposed towards depression in general (which would therefore make you less susceptible to PND anyways). But I do understand that for many people it's certainly a spiritual thing, and a ritual performed in the interest of repossessing the body's natural benefits - besides, most animals (including cats - I've seen it) eat their own afterbirth. A friend of mine buried her placenta under the lemon tree in the back yard, to recycle the body's nourishment in a more environmental fashion.
Me? I wouldn't eat it. And yes, it's psychological. I'd much rather get a little protein from some almonds and Vegemite.
The reviews are so hilarious, yes indeed - but they seem staged. I know this book is real, but the commenters appear to be publicity (in that there's a similar tone to the 'voice' of the 'public').

It certainly don't taste like candy, honey.
But then again, the gentleman in question partaking of pineapple beforehand apparently makes things more tolerable to the palate.
I wouldn't know. I'm a virgin.

You know, that's *your* property.
