Um - I can't think of any possible benefit to the eaters of cooked human placenta. The last thing I thought about when I saw the placentas after I gave birth was dinner.

I am slightly curious, though, about a related topic. Given that people in various cultures eat things like brains, stomach, thyroid, pancreas and other parts of an animal, are there any cultures which favor eating cow or sheep or goat or pig placenta?

To the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, placenta (human as well as animals) are very very UNCLEAN, BAD LUCK and TABOO and must be thrown away ASAP
