Christmas meal food question!

[suffolksarah]

Hi all we have our works christmas meal next week and just looked up the menu online. We are having a set menu, mains are okay, turkey etc. but i am stuck on starters there is

Mushroom and tarragon soup (v)
Herb croutons

Greenland prawn salad
Crispy mixed salad leaves

Ham hock terrine
Piccalilli, sea salt and pepper crostini

I dont fancy the soup, can i have either of the other two? I love there terrine but not sure if its okay to eat now? Whats your opinions? Thanks xx

Prawns are not recommended unless thoroughly cooked, and as you're not cooking them I'd steer clear. Terrine is similar to pate which is also off limit so I reckon you should probably stick to the soup because you're still quite early on. Soup sounds lovely! xxx

Ohhhhh, I was hoping the terrine would be okay!! Its like chunks of ham and veg in a jelly? Sound a bit like cat food now ive written it down, but it tastes good.

Yeah, I agree with Chrissy, phone ahead and tell them you're pregnant and see what they say - even if they could make a different started for you! xx
