I've had maccas 9cheeseburger), kfc (had cravings for their chips with sweet & sour sauce!) & hamburger from a fish & chip shop, I just asked for no lettuce with that one.
I haven't had nearly as much takeaway food as we would normally have though, so I guess like everything, in moderation it's not going to hurt and just steer clear of the dodgy stuff, like salad, particularly lettuce, or get your sandwich toasted.
I did have subway a couple of times when I was pregnant but i only go to the places with a high food turnover. Because all their salad things are chopped up, you can pretty much tell by looking if they've been sitting there a while. But I always had a hot filling (no cold lunch meats).
I eat Maccas either quarter pounder or cheesburger (no salad and made fresh so fairly safe), I've also eaten Thai, Pizza and Sushi. I know you're supposed to steer clear of sushi but I always go to a shop with a high turnover and I only get cooked fillings. Have had Oporto's too.
Hi Tara, with the Sushi, it's not so much the fillings as the rice. Cooked rice left to cool is a high risk for salmonella. I hate that I can't eat it - sometimes it's all I fancy for a quick lunch in the city during my lunch break!
i caved yesterday and had a steak sandwich from a F&C shop - but i was craving a decent steak sanga! and it was divine! the thing that made it ok from my POV is that i went to a shop owned by mum's bestie, and told her what i wanted - she prepared the salad part fresh, cooked the egg right through, cooked the steak to perfection - and then let me eat it fresh out the back of the shop! it was divine. other than that, the only real take away i've had has been chips form KFC, or the local chicken shop. nothin else is appealling (so the take away hazards don't come into it!)
