No haggis in pregnancy?!

[mussie]

I have literally just found out that pregnant women can't eat haggis, due to the vitamin A. This is NOT mentioned in Ready Steady Baby which is surely a grievous omission.

Not pregnant yet, but my days how will I go 9 months without haggis when the time comes?!

vegetarian haggis? (and cover it in brown sauce)

Does the brown sauce make it taste more like original haggis? Or is it just to make it less dry? I've had some very dry vegetarian haggis in the past, and I've not really eaten it since

I just meant that it would disguise the taste :)

I'm not an experienced veggie haggis eater but thought that a good dose of HP wouldn't go amiss.

I never knew this, pretty sure I probably had haggis when pregnant!

You should be fine with proper haggis. Vitamin A is stored in the liver and proper haggis doesn't have liver in it.

Even if you pick one that does you would get a tiny amount of vitamin A which you need some of anyway.

Unless you plan to live off it for every meal for the entire 9 months, I am sure it will be fine. Haggis is not pure liver to the same extent as pate and other liver containing foods.

I are loads of haggis before finding out I was pregnant and didn't stop even once I had found out. DS is 12 and doesn't appear to have suffered.

Well that’s just shit on my burns night, been fancying haggis for weeks now 😂😂

You can totally eat haggis. Even if it was packed with liver, which it shouildn't be, you would have to eat your own body weight daily to even approach the levels that could theoretically maybe cause a problem.

Eat the damn haggis!

I read somewhere that the Halls tinned haggis is okay when pregnant - not the tastiest but okay for making chicken balmoral of haggis lasagne.

I'm quite partial to a tin of haggis, at least you know what you are going to get in terms of it being consistent.

MacSweens haggis doesn't contain liver.

Even better if you get one from a butcher ask him if it has liver in it.
