    I was looking at the mayos last night at the supermarket and all but one ( praise fat free) had egg in them even the ones that are not labeled whole egg mayo. The kraft original and the praise original both contain egg if you read the back. I'm guessing that they have been heat treated though so the egg would be cooked.
    The only thing I didn't eat from maccas was the thickshakes.. I did have the odd Sunday.
    But I have not eaten maccas fir approx a year after it gave me a gall bladder attack and I was hospitalized for a week after having my gb removed... Can't bring myself to go back!!
    Correct, supermarket mayos are heat treated. Fresh mayo (so homemade and often used at restaurants) is made with raw egg yolks. This includes fresh Caesar salad dressing and aioli often served with hot chips or wedges.

    I'm sure soft serves/shakes must be fine from my local macca's because everytime I do the midnight macca's run they are always bloody cleaning the machines!!! GRRR

    I lived on Cheeseburgers with mayo or McChickens with extra mayo during my pregnancy. Soooooooo yummy and a hard habit to break now.
    My backside is still paying for it

    This thread is making me soooo hungry. I have an ob appt today - just down the road from macca's - and was planning on sharing a chocolate sundae with DD (it's her 1st birthday tomorrow) but now I so want a Big Mac as well.

    With DD macca's and KFC chips really helped with my m/s and with this one I'm finding that I am craving it again...

    Hey Limeslice... since you mentioned the common aussie use of 'flake'... i have been wondering, since flake is shark (to my knowledge) that makes it a no no?

    Scary thing yesterday! Went to a co-workers farewell lunch in a tavern. They side salads looked AWESOME, i seriously considered just chancing it but didnt as i ended up getting a kids meal. Anywho... The other girls ate their salads and then the last one discovered dirty lettuce AND a rotten mouldy hairy red onion! Ewwwwwww.
    On the subject i have heard its more common to get Toxoplasma (?) from unwashed salad fruit and vegies. And ppl only worry about getting it from there cats.

    No sorry I meant that Hoki in NZ is like Flake is here - the standard basic fish used in most fish and chip shops and pubs - the "default" white fish if you like. Hoki and Flake are not the same fish, just used in similar ways in their respective countries.
    You CAN eat shark during pregnancy, just need to limit the intake of mercury fish - dark or oily fish. So you can eat flake once a week without any issues if you don't eat other fish.
