Craving tuna sandwiches....

[fairydust87]

I absolutely love tuna sandwiches. Tuna and sweetcorn, tuna salad. Especially the baguettes from greggs or the ones you can get in the meal deals in tesco or sainsburys. I read when I first got pregnant that tuna was a no-no because of mercury so didnt really eat tuna the first 12-13 weeks. Im 17 weeks now and have had I'd say, 2 tuna sandwiches a week maybe 3. Now I want another one its just a huge craving. My mum said I can eat tuna whenever I go to her about all the wives tales about what you can and cant eat she laughs it off saying you can eat what you want. In the old days there were no restrictions and babies were born safely ect...

I was just wondering if anyone ate tuna through their pregnancy and did their babies come out ok. xx

It's certain types of tuna you're supposed to limit. Chunk light in water is fine. You want to limit the amount of white albacore that you eat though. I cant remember the amount either. But I enjoy tunasandwichestoo and now I'm goin to make one for myself.

Tinned tuna has nowhere near as much mercury as fresh. You can have around 2 tins a week and the sandwiches that Greggs do dont have one tin of tuna in each (probably half a tin or so.) Ive been eating tuna as normal since I found out I was pregnant. Like you I love tuna and sweetcorn mayo. Yummmmm! (Im craving one now too!)

Oh good. Thanks guys. I know about the 1-2 cans a week but I dont know how much tuna are in these sandwiches and which type of tuna its just tuna to me lol

I'm still so full from a late dinner but reading this now I reaaaally want a tuna and sweetcorn sandwich. Daaaang.

Goddamn, now I'm craving a tuna sub like crazy.

Oh i love tuna! I need to stock up with more next time we go shopping lol.
I was told no more than 2 tins a week. I guess they use approx half a tin in a sandwich maybe less though if mixed with mayo/sweetcorn x

Is sweet corn the same as regular corn? I always get confused with uk vs us words in here. If it is the same I've never had it in a tuna sandwich..

Like corn kernels from a cob but in a tin. Its lush mixed with mayo and tuna!...and even better with some really finely cut red onion and a tiny little bit of cayenne or dried chilli.

Oh man, I have no tuna in the house and its nearly bedtime so a bit late to start munching.

I remember going to Subway in England and being fascinated that they had corn as option to put on your sub. Never seen that before in Canada!

I think I would be lost without Tim Hortons. I pretty much lived off of double doubles until I found out I was pregnant. And their cookies...oh my god, their cookies.

And yeah, this thread is making me want to eat my own hand. So hungry.

This is fun... I'm kind of fascinated by everyone's different food additions. I would love to try them but I'd feel silly for some reason.
