prawn cocktail craving *sigh*

[Blondie]

I had a runny egg buttie this morning - but i decided that I just couldn't live without it

Also had a brie, grape and cranberry sandwich the other day aswell - again I just couldn't live without it

I know I'm bad but they were both SO SO nice

Just gonna jump in here ladies (you're all making me giggle by the way, its so funny!!)
I have runny eggs but i make sure they are stamped with the red lion, this means they are from hens who have been immunised against salmonella. Most British Free Range eggs should have this on,

Obviously go by what your healthcare advisor says though

I suppose im quite lucky that most of the things we should avoid or eat in moderation i dont like! I hate brie and pate, and dont eat shellfish. The only thing im having trouble with is runny eggs!!! I love 3 eggs and soldiers for brekkie!!

 

[DizzyMoo]

Same as me claire the only thing i actually like that we're not meant to have is the prawns , i don't like the rest of the stuff thank god. Well i gave in big time & had 2 bowls of prawn cocktail !! feel so fat now though hehehehe

I used to love eggs but whilst preg with my 1st i went completely off them & have never eaten one since lol

i dont eat prawns, but..i have craved sushi since ive been pregnant. I know that japanese ladies eat it during their pregnancies, but i read somewhere that they are experts at cutting and storing the fish, so is less likely to cause problems. Ive avoided it...shame really

 

[ahava]

mrs q get back over the other side HA HA HA HA.....

Gosh I'm glad frozen prawns are still ok, I was starting to worry then, I've eaten loads!
For me, its pate. Specifically chicken liver pate (I make it myself and its gorgeous). I miss it sooooooooooo much.

And raw cake mix off the spoon... making cakes without licking the spoon is just criminal!

I made two batches of cookies over the weekend, and believe I licked that bowl CLEAN

I used to make raw cake mixture just to eat cause I love it so much

 

[Reedy]

I love raw cake mix too, its sooooooooo good x

As long as the eggs are from a supermarket and lion stamped rather than directly from a farm they will be safe to eat.

DizzyMoo - I'm so glad you've posted that, I thought I was making it up when all I keep thinking about is crab meat, I desperately want fresh crab claws! I didn't think you could crave stuff that could be bad for you - like it was built in.

Someone said they're still eating prawns - I think I'll probably have to give in soon and eat crab, fingers crossed there are no major consequences!

I eat runny eggs, I too cant live without them!!! I dont eat/drink/smoke anythin else i shouldnt do though. occasionally my lamb is slightly slightly pink. I will be looking out for those red lion eggs now though, didnt know that before, but now I can eat them and not feel as guilty after. Though I dont eat LOADS of runny eggs!!

Prawns mmmm I luv prawns too, especially prawn cocktails. I havent had a chance to eat them yet, I only like the small ones coz those king ones scare me and big ones just dont seem rite!! I think they are fine as long as they are defrosted properly and eaten normally (and say they are cooked). I wouldnt eat them wilst grey...eww haha.


NOW I WANT PRAWNS!!!! GRRRRR. Knew I shouldnt have read this thread hahahaha xxx

Guys, I reckon the advice is just that, advice, your body will soon let you know if you have something it doesn't like.

I don't think that stuff harms the baby, there are just more serious consequences from contracting salmonella etc. You could pick a safe dish off a restaurant menu and still get unlucky or you could eat 'banned' food and be fine.

If we all followed every scare story we'd be wrapped in cotton wool - people have been having babies for a while now without the scaremongering!!!!!

I do agree that more info can be ace and we are so lucky with technology and medicine but sometimes I wonder if we know toooo much?

 

[lorrilou]

ive eaten prawns, a tiny bit of brie (couldnt fight the craving any longer), runny eggs and peanut butter. have done through everyone of my pregnancies and ive been fine.

 

[DizzyMoo]

i just couldn't resist though i needed it like NOW & after i'd eaten it i felt like id just had the best sex session with a fork ever mmmmm lol

I love raw cake mix & wouldnt of realised not to eat it oops lol mmm i want that now!! lol

 

[chrisi]

I eat cold prawns too, either fresh or defrost some from the freezer they only take about 1 hour to defrost its great! i couldnt eat hot prawns, eeek! lol. xx

 

[puppycat]

I had a sandwich made for me at lucnh and asked if the mayo was home made - it wasn't! Heh. Lovely chicken mayo salad sandwich mmmmmmmmm.

I dunked a chip in my nans fried egg the other day and it was vile vile VILE!! I've been craving a runny egg but it was gross so I think I might be off those bad boys!

I would absolutely love some sushi though, god that hurts most

 

[DizzyMoo]

I'm not a fish eater at all *yuk* just prawns & cockles for me.

I'm struggling with what to eat full stop i just have no appetite & yet i'm hungry but nothing appeals at all , The smell of food cooking or warm is just *yuk* .

*sigh*
