I am craving blue cheese but can't have it because I'm pregnant - what could I have instead? I'm desperate!

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

Argh! I need that really sharp taste that goes with the creaminess.

Stupid Listeria!

Please help.

I know I want something, but what?

[suzywong]

philly and balsamic vinegar

[hattyyellow]

Can't you have it warmed up/cooked in something which removes the risk? Or is that my imagination...

[Carmenere]

Have a steak with blue cheese sauce.

[suzywong]

or you could pretend you're french
french birds up the stick are necking roquefort by the crate, I'll wager

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

Ooh, can I? Not sure that is the flavour I want, but heating it would kill Listeria.

SW - oddly enough that is the right sort of thing, but not quite.

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

I am making notes now. I hadn't thought of a sauce either.

This is why I love MN

[CuppaTeaJanice]

You could just inhale the vapours of a nice ripe pair of socks!

[suzywong]

that's not odd, that's my cheffly genius

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

Ah, I see

I bow to your genius. I love balsamic.

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

Not sure about the socks - I might want to eat them

[combustiblelemon]

Yes, you can have cooked blue cheese. See here
Huge field mushrooms are yummy baked with cambozola (sp?)

[DarrellRivers]

cream cheese with sweet chilli sauce [heaven]

[francagoestohollywood]

melt butter and blue cheese. add some cream. sprinkle some chive. Use sauce to dress a nice plate of linguine. or spaghetti. or whatever pasta you have

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

Hurrah about the cooked cheese.

And oooooh at the sweet chilli sauce idea - loving that one.

[youknownothingofthecrunch]

Thank you thank you thank you!

I thought the coal craving was bad enough, but this one... too tempting to turn down.

And now I won't have to

You have all made a nauseous woman very happy.

[combustiblelemon]

If you start craving limescale I have a kettle that can help you out

[suzywong]

Limescale! Someone else craved limescale? I thought I was the only freak who did that.

Did you get your cheesey fix YKKOTC?

Thank to this thread I dreamed I was heavily pregnant. Yikes

[Sazisi]

If you like marmite/yeast extract, try that on toasted brown bread with tahini. I was mad for that combo when duffed. Satisfies that craving for strong flavours

[Tinkjon]

Stilton & broccoli soup!

[FruitynNutty]

I love broccoli and stilton soup!
I have to say I gave up with all this nonsense this time around and ate a huge portion or brie on French bread last week. The French all do this.
I haven't heard of anyone catching listeria. Pregnant or not.

If you are concerned though. I would definitely go with the soup

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Oh dear it's dangerous to suggest sweet chilli sauce to a pregnant woman!

Myself and three of my friends have been addicted to the stuff. I used to have it with cheese on toast for breakfast, with a roast dinner, everything.
