Not when you can add lasagna noodles and sauce.

An Ontario mother who dumped her bloodied placenta in a public park was just practising a “holistic” ritual to mark her child’s first birthday, police say.
While hospitals consider placentas medical “waste,” in some home birth practises the organ is considered special and “spiritual,” scholars say. Popular rituals include burying it under a favourite plant, tree or shrub, or eating it — a practice that comes with risks to mothers and their babies, and that some doctors have said borders on cannibalism.
On Tuesday, Peel Regional Police issued an alert appealing for the public’s help finding a woman and child “in possible medical distress” after a man walking his dog in Sugar Maple Woods park in Mississauga found a placenta and umbilical cord, with what appeared to be forceps and clamps attached to it, in bushes about three metres off a pathway.
The placenta appeared fresh.
After a medical examiner confirmed the material was human, a cadaver dog trained to locate and follow the scent of a decomposing human body was sent in to search the area, along with a public search unit, said Peel Police Sgt. Matt Bertram.
Hours after the public appeal, a 27-year-old woman contacted police to say the placenta belonged to her.
The woman told police she gave birth a year ago at home, assisted by a midwife. The placenta was preserved and kept for “holistic” purposes, police said, before it was returned to nature on Monday — reportedly the child’s first birthday.
“She said she had it frozen, which is why a year later it still seemed fresh,” Bertram said.
Police confirmed her story, he said.

Had to look it up to get in on the joke :)
It's one of my favorites when I don't worry about carbs.
Wow that looks GREAT!
Gonna have to ask mom if she knows of it.
Though it says it was originally a northern Italian peasant dish and her parents are from Sicily.
Pop was from southern Italy.
Described as a “simple yet satisfying dish”
May simple dishes are very satisfying.

It’s like “grits” for Italians.
But coarser, with yellow corn. With meat sauce and cheese topping.
With a Cabernet, I suppose.
I was advised, back when, that you try to match the color of the wine with the color of the meat.
A white with pork, and fish, red with... I've always thought a rose would go with hot dogs...
Now it sounds even better!! And more fattening!! :)
You say potato
I say potahto...
Anyone keeping tabs on Hillary’s creepy pizzagate friends?
She didn’t want to get caught holding the bag...uhh...sac.
So, a wackadoodle placed a placenta in a park is ok but a wedding photographer tinkling on a tree gets arrested.
That’s just nasty.
BTW I heard many years ago that some people eat placenta but when I saw one it did not look at all appetizing.
