Eating human flesh is illegal in this and most other countries so I would expect eating placenta, even if it is your own is as well.

Young wives' tale

But there has been a longstanding belief among some new mothers that eating the placenta can yield benefits.

One supposed reason is that it can reduce the incidence of post-natal depression. It has also been claimed to have nutritional properties needed by women after childbirth.

But consultant obstetrician Maggie Blott dismisses the post-natal depression theory. In fact, says Dr Blott, a spokeswoman for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, there's no medical justification at all.

"Animals eat their placenta to get nutrition - but when people are already well-nourished, there is no benefit, there is no reason to do it," she says.

To be quite honest, placenta chis and peas, don't seem right to me, much rather have steak pudding

With all that trans fat and cholesterol, I'd stick with the placenta
