Hi Julesy

I'm half Italian and I adore deli meats, olives, soft cheeses etc so that listeria brochure is killing me - the absolute bane of my life :fuming: ! SO fed up with not being able to eat what I want and I'm only 11 weeks!

I've already told hubby that he is to come and visit me in hospital with a little esky containing all that stuff I'm not allowed to have right now! I'd love to throw that brochure out the window but I'd hate myself forever if I ate something that caused a problem.

Having said that though, I've occasionally had home made pizza with ham, prosciutto, salami or brie (cooked to within an inch of its life though!) I did some further listeria research and found this very interesting (Australian government) site that states salami is actually lower risk than some other meats, including ham -

Cheers!
Another Jules
