Good afternoon all.
So it's our 2nd wedding aniversary next week and I told hubby ages ago that all I wanted was to grab some take away chinese and chill out at home. So is takeaway chinese okay to eat, or should I stear clear. I'm so confused about the different things I can and can't be eating.
Thanks
I am from the "neurotic-about-foods-in-pregnancy" school, so please use this advice or don't:
I would check the turnover of the place. Is it really busy? I would stay away from anywhere that has slow turnover. If turnover is slow and you just NEED the food from there I would ask them if it is made up fresh and explain you are pregnant etc.
I would be careful about the bean sprouts that are included in many Asian dishes. We shouldn't eat these whether they are raw or cooked (though I know many people who say cooked it fine).
A trick I use to try and make sure that my food is prepared freshly and not just heated up from the main pot is to drop or swap one of the ingredients with another. This way they need to make it up for you.
I have only had it twice but from the little local place that is freshly cooked and I just asked for MSG free. They were more than happy to do this. I've been told there is another enhancer that is used but not sure of the name so you could just aske them if you're concerned.
