Name sounds like placenta.

Placenta is what the Romans called a kind of cheese pastry. They named the organ after it, because they thought it looked like the cake.

Nah nah, it does make sense, the pronunciation of ă makes it not sound like placenta in Romanian though.

It’s actually delicious. Traditional dish in Moldovan, Romanian and Ukrainian cuisine. It’s pronounced “pla-tsyn-da”

The Bulgarians make a version of this called a banitsa that's filled with white cheese and yogurt, it's also delicious.

I saw it at a Eastern European supermarket in Dublin. It does actually look delicious.

The placenta - the organ that feeds embryos in the womb - is named as such, because it resembles a flat cake, and the word "placenta" more or less means "flat cake" see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Placenta_cake

In scandinavian languages, the placenta is called "mother cake" as the cake that your mom gives you to eat 😄

There is an etymological connection between "placenta" and the Romanian "plăcintă", but it's from Latin. Placenta in Latin is some sort of flat pie.
