Epictetus, I assure you that, done correctly, placenta is AMAZING. I followed up the placenta recipe with a 'cheat' version using modern pastry. (LINK) The reason that the first attempt didn't work was down to the way in which I made the pastry. Cato appears to have gotten a bit confused with his instructions. I'm ironing out those problems currently, and hope to remake the dish again soon.
