Man adds wife’s placenta into cocktails and pizza, then invites friends over for dinner

Tom, 31, put wife Amanda’s placenta into a pizza and ‘daiquiri’ cocktail, the Manchester Evening News reports.

When their first child was born, Tom had blended into a drink, but vowed to go one better after the birth of second child Nellie.

Amanda, 37, said: ‘When Tom blended my first placenta me and my friend Cat had a try. It was sort of “I will if you will”.

‘It tasted very metallic and she said if I have another child we’d go the whole hog and have a sit down meal, half joking really.

‘But when we’d had my second daughter Nellie and Tom said he was looking for recipes I warned my mate he was serious.’

The placenta was fried in onion and garlic with lots of seasoning.

He then made a strawberry daiquiri put some pepper in it and blended the placenta into the drink.

Amanda continued: ‘It was delicious. It just tasted like strawberry daiquiri.’

Recalling the drink after the couple’s first baby was born, Tom said: ‘The first time I just blended it and drank it and it was pretty grim to be honest – you could just taste the blood and it was gristly and fatty.’

He continued: ‘The second time round I thought right, let’s do it properly so I started looking on the internet for ideas.

‘Some of them were quite complicated with loads of faffing so I just thought well my favourite food is pizza so I’ll just cook it up with some onion and garlic.

‘When I tasted a bit on its own it had a similar taste and texture to liver but as soon as I put the garlic and onion with it, it was lovely.’

And he said not all his friends were impressed.

‘Some friends thought I was a weirdo for eating it but it’s no different to eating something like black pudding,’ he said.
