Humans eating part of their own body is not a new phenomenon, but that doesn\u2019t make it any less controversial. Although uncommon, people who have just given birth have been known to eat their own placentas for all the nutrients it has. But fans were shocked when one of Spain\u2019s biggest Instagram influencers Paula Gonu, 30, opened up about putting her knee cartilage in a bolognese before eating it with her boyfriend. Appearing on the Club 113 podcast, Paula talked about why she chose to eat the cartilage. Why did Paula eat her cartilage after surgery? Opening up about her surgery, Paula said she chose to stay awake during her surgery and use local anesthetic. She then went on to have her doctor explain what he was doing as she watched on a screen. At the end, the doctor asked her if she wanted to keep the cartilage he\u2019d removed. Paula replied: \u201cI told him \u2018Yes\u2019 and he put what he removed into a small container like those used for urine samples. \u201cHe put it in alcohol so it would stay that way for as long as I wanted. A week later, I was with my partner at the time, having a jokey conversation. \u201cI told him I wanted to eat it because it was part of me and I had to put it back in my body.\u201d She went on to explain how she had made a bolognese sauce which she then put the cartilage in before she and her boyfriend ate it. \u201cI wanted to be able to say in my head that I\u2019ve eaten a piece of my own meniscus,\u201d she added. Paula went on to justify her decision by saying that everyone has eaten the bones, cartilage and body parts of \u201cworse animals\u201d so eating her own meniscus should not be frowned upon. Fans are not sure what to think about it As Paula discussed her choice on the podcast, fans couldn\u2019t help but to take to the comment section to discuss what they\u2019d just heard. One person wrote: \u201cI\u2019m Italian Near Bologna How did you put The Meniscus in The Ragu?\u201d A second person said: \u201cMy stomach hurt now it hurts more thank you.\u201d \u201cWhat did it taste like?\u201d another asked, to which the podcasters replied: \u201cLike chicken.\u201d However, some seemed skeptical as they wrote: \u201cI don\u2019t really believe it hahaha\u201d Another wrote: \u201cIt must be a joke.\u201d For all the latest entertainment news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto\u2019s full coverage here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Influencer claims she ate her own knee cartilage in bolognese after surgery YouTube: Club 113A Spanish influencer, Paula Gonu, revealed that she and her boyfriend ate her own knee cartilage after undergoing knee surgery.
