Anyone else ignoring the avoid runny eggs thing?

[yellowflowers]

It's my main craving, soft boiled eggs and fried eggs.

I was very very good at avoiding everything until about the last 2 weeks (currently nearly 36 weeks pregnant) and then to be honest I haven't been so careful... Cake mixture got the better of me :(

Plus lattes - I know they make a thing about strong caffine but I can't resist a costa or starbucks big latte with an extra shot.

I'm a terrible person I'm sure.. But it did taste nice.

Yes, I pretty much eat what I want. I had pate last week whilst out for dinner. To be fair, I forgot it's "off limits" but remembered after I ate it, and was not remotely concerned. Last time round I found out pretty late on, and when I thought back, I realised I'd eaten pates, soft cheeses, drunk alcohol, even baked a cake and scraped the bowl out, which I hadn't done for years.

I ate loads of dippy egg n soldiers when pregnant with dd1

It was mine, I caved and had very runny fried eggs ham and chips.

I ended up with the most horrendous stomach thing ever, pouring out of either end, dr said it was food poisioning and most likely the eggs. I wasn't right for three weeks.

So no, I wouldn't.

yeah I eat runny fried eggs. Fried egg sandwich yum yum.

I didn't know about it....i had runny egg sandwiches on Monday and am ok.

yep, I eat lovely runny eggs.

Yep it has been my major craving, runny fried eggs and waffles.

Yup. I have a bit of what I fancy when I fancy it. Including the odd small glass of wine or half a larger every now and then. Oh....and I had a Mr Whippy ice-cream when we were on holiday

I had runny eggs with all three of my pregnancies. In fact they were pretty much all I ate throughout my first pregnancy.

Lion marked eggs should be OK for salmonella, which is the main risk.

I ignored this one as I like scrambled egg for lunch and I hate it set hard.

I don't have lion marks on my eggs as they come straight from my chooks bums

Yes. I get lion marked ones, and this is the first pregnancy (DC4) where I've succumbed to the craving. I was so sick, and soft boiled eggs were one thing I really wanted.

Nope, I don't ignore it because I'm not in the UK and don't get lion marked eggs. But it's not just salmonella, it's listeria risk as well (I had a listeric egg once - bright luminous green albumen - if you saw it you wouldn't eat it of course, but what if you hadn't seen it? What if the listeria hadn't advanced that much at the point you ate it?)

It's not a risk I'm prepared to take - but then I don't much like runny eggs anyway, so not really an issue for me at all.

i didn't.
it's left over from the salmonella thing, which all uk hens are vaccinated against.

but yuck thumby !
i think mayonnaise etc, the eggs are pasteurized so shouldn't be a listeria risk.

i ate runny yolks (from my own hens)

I've eaten everything I shouldn't ... but I have drunk no alcohol

I've been craving soft eggs too so have now succumbed (at 16 wks) to fried eggs at the weekend - tasted amazing!

I've also been eating cheesecake, mayo & ice-cream

When my mum was pregnant with me and then my brother, she lived in France at the time and had copious wine/soft cheese. Nowt wrong with us and said we were two of the bonniest babies born

I am being really careful about food and caffeine but I do have about a glass of wine a week (on a saturday night, with dinner and I make sure its really nice wine). You have to decide what your risk tolerances are etc

Anyone else now wanting a (runny) fried egg sandwich?!

Oh my god, I want eggs now. Got none in the house though. Must tell DH to get some eggs.

We have two free range hens, and they lay lovely eggs in clean surroundings so I eat runny eggs!

Remember to also put sausages and fried onions in that fried egg sandwich too :)

oh no. I love a sausage sandwich, but not in a fried egg sandwich. And onions and egg - that is just wrong!

Awful Gobblersknob - weas that from lion marked supermarket eggs?
