Today I'm having a bit of a sulk because there's a farmer's market next to my office, and I'd really like one of the pots of strawberries and cream. Only I can't have them, because they're covered in thick, delicious, organic unpasteurised raw milk cream. I know it's not for long, but somehow they're calling to me.

Last week I had to leave the room as DH tucked into a baguette covered in pate. I didn't even eat pate that often, but the fact that I can't have it makes me want it more.

So, what delicious forbidden foods are you missing today?

I have had baked brie lot, rare steak when i fancy it and runny eggs most mornings, i know where my food is coming from so i think the risks are low.

Pre frozen sushi is fine and squid is fine too.

I think there is too much about not being 'allowed' to eat certain food, when i was og with ds 6 years ago, it was defo dont eat nuts.....now it eat nuts! I think its all about balance, if the food is in date and reputable, i would eat it.

I MISS WINE

chopsface · 30/07/2015 18:18

I miss goats cheese, rare steak and wine :-)

But as lilac said. I just miss feeling well. 20 weeks and still feeling nauseous and poorly :-(

I miss wine. Particularly ice cold Sauvignon blanc on a warm summer's evening.

Why not caffeine-free (diet) coke? I've been having that instead of wine when I fancy a drink in the evening...

I've really fancied a nice couple of glasses of champagne lately! And liver, definitely liver... my local Turkish restaurant does an amazing liver starter that I've had to watch people eat... heartless sods!

Runny eggs! I miss them so much I'm going to eat a ton of them soon. And pate/soft cheeses - think I'm going to write a post- pregnancy shopping list for DH Grin

littlemissjt what's wrong with Haggis? I only really have it on Burns night, but I'd never thought it could be a problem!

Balls! And I thought the lack of whisky would be the worst part...

Wine. Champagne. Fizzy wine.

For a while I didn't fancy it at all, but now, especially with the sun shine I just find myself craving it :(

The only other thing would be not being able to have more than 2 cups of tea/one cup of coffee/a few cans of diet coke a day. I HATE limiting my caffeine intake.

I was a smoker before getting pregnant, but strangely not missing that really at all.

BollinSausage · 31/07/2015 18:04

Runny eggs! They're all I ever want when I'm feeling ill, and I've been feeling really ill... I'll probably crack soon and start eating them.

I also have outdoor space for the first time in about 10 years, so gutted that I can't enjoy a cold glass of wine in my garden in the sun!

I am a right old tea wife. Was off it for the first 5 months or so, but back on it now and Yorkshire decaf tastes fine!

ARV1981 · 31/07/2015 18:17

I was a smoker before getting preggers and I've not missed it at all! In fact it was because I started to actually feel sick every time I had a cigarette that prompted me to take a test! It must have been really really early on as well, because the test put me at about 3 weeks pregnant, so I don't think the few cigs I smoked before finding out can have done that much damage...

I also ate rare steak the night before doing the test. Wanted to get one in before it was denied me...!

ARV1981 · 31/07/2015 18:19

Oh yeah, and now if I smell cigarette smoke on people or just in the air I feel really grossed out. I think pregnancy has been the best stop smoking plan imaginable!

Giraffe5 · 31/07/2015 21:49

Wine!!!!! ????????????????????

Stylingwax · 31/07/2015 21:55

A really nice glass of red wine.
I've had the odd beer with work to avoid suspicion but spend the whole time feeling guilty and working out where I can pour half of it so it's not the same.
