[carly2803]

I am craving pork pies. I have read the nhs reccomendations but I have cured and uncured pork pies.... What's the best ?? Isit safe ??? I need pork pies. But won't risk the baby's health if not..S.o.s help. Pathetic crisis to have bit cravings.... yikes... anyone else got a strange one????

have a look at this thread. www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/1255332-Craving-a-cold-pork-pie-straight-from-the-pack-Can-I

I really want a pork pie now. To be honest if I was at Tesco now, nothing would stop me buying one. It's just like a sausage roll or buying ham. I wouldn't buy a pork pie at a market but I would at a chain shop in which a pork pie was packaged and in a fridge.

So I can eat any pork pie???it's shop bought in a package...Not off a deli!!! Just craving !!! It's rediculous lol

I've been getting a hot Scotch pie every time I walk past the local bakery. They're SO GOOD. And I never ate pies before!

As long as you don't reheat it. There's a woman I know, mum of a friend, she warmed one up when she was pg and her son is blind. However, you shouldn't warm them up, pg or not.

why on earth would anyone reheat a pork pie?! oh no....just straight from the supermarket out of a packet...deprived for months!!! wont be now!! thank you!

There's a woman I know, mum of a friend, she warmed one up when she was pg and her son is blind. Which let's be honest, probably had fudge all to do with the pork pie.

oh yeah, I forgot that well established scientific link between warm pork pies and blindness. 🤦‍♀️

It never even occurred to me that you wouldn’t be able to have a pork pie? I’ve been eating sausage rolls too 😂

@stephisaur I'm craving a sausage roll now😂

There's a woman I know, mum of a friend, she warmed one up when she was pg and her son is blind firstly, secondly why would you warm up a pork pie? Do people do that?

And John / Joseph Merrick looked like he did because his mum was frightened by an elephant

I don't know what's more concerning, the fact people believe there's a link between pork pie and blindness, the fact someone warmed up a pork pie, or the fact I now need a pork pie and don't have any!!

Why wouldn't you be able to eat a pork pie!

I craved and ate a lot of pork pies in the first few weeks of pregnancy and this baby is healthy and happy as far as my scans go. And no signs of blindness 😉

OP go buy your pork pie if you can find an open 24 hour supermarket or petrol station. Follow the instructions on the packinging if you want to warm it, then regardless of whether it is warm or cold eat it and most importantly enjoy

I'm defo buying a pork pie today 😛

When I was in my teens a loooong time ago there was a sandwich shop near school that sold hot pork pies and for a while I had one every day. Glorious. Used to buy that and then stroll over to the baker's to get a vanilla slice. It was a healthy lunch because then I'd go into the greengrocer's and get an apple.

I ate a Sausage and Baked Bean slice every working day I was pregnant. My baby weight was nothing compared to my Greggs weight! 🤣

And it's been scientifically proven the pork pie was to blame? I've heard it all now

Stop it! My poor pelvic floor can't handle the hilarity of pork pie induced blindness.

Of course you can eat pork pies OP, the meat within them is cooked.

It's only uncooked cured meat (salami, prosciutto etc.) that you need worry about and even then you can safely eat it it's cooked (e.g. on a pizza) or if you freeze it for four days beforehand.

Yes, i most certainly was, and she has never forgiven herself. he's grown up now, I'm friends with his sister.

I want a pork pie now.

Romany that's bollocks.
How couldn't they possibly prove it?

They wouldn't be able to diagnose the blindness until after the baby was born, by which time the pork pie would be long gone.

Your neighbours, daughters, sisters, friend is telling you porky pies I'm afraid.
