what can i have from maccas?

[bubbles81]

is fillet o fish okay?

[PumpkinZulu]

I'm not sure...I'm about to have a big mac I know some people say not to have maccas at all, but at this time of night I know it'll be made fresh, and DF always orders it fresh for me anyways. Hope you can have one

[bubbles81]

yea me too but i heard that the lettuce is a nono though...

[Ree*Ree]

i had takeaway during my pg, if in doubt i zapped it in the microwave for a bit

[tellytubby]

I would eat everything but the icecream....

But even then.... just one wouldn't hurt... LOL! I'm soo bad when pregnant!!

CHEESEBURGERS!!!!!


Yes, you can eat a Fillet o Fish.

[PumpkinZulu]

Lol I must slow down service then I ask for fresh meat, but my local maccas is totally crap and doesn't do much business, so I don't think it hurts. I wouldn't be surprised if they skimped on the freshness guidelines a bit. I wouldn't do it at say, swanny maccas or something, my brother would kill me! (he works there)

[PumpkinZulu]

Yes I'm also confused about the lettuce? Seeing as I'm currently having a love affair with big macs, I need to know. I also zap whatever I get in the microwave.

By the way, because of this thread I'm most likely going to make Scott go into work on his day off because I really badly feel like a burger now

ETA - As far as I know there should be nothing wrong with having the lettuce since it comes in a very airtight bag (a fricken hard to open airtight bag )... Maybe the problem is with stores that don't use much? They would probably tend to try to extend the time they have it out...

CHEESEBURGERS!!!!!! OMg I want like 10 now

[ezymay]

I lived on big macs when
Pg with dd!! This time it's been frozen coke (bad i know) and grand angus burgers with Mac sauce mmmm!!

Listeria can grow on most raw vegetables and salads. Lettuce because its never cooked is a high risk.

Cheeseburgers are awesome yum yum!!!!!!!!!!!

Avoid soft serve definatly.

[TeniBear]

Ohhhh, so it's not just lettuce from Maccas, it's all lettuce? Okay, I gotcha now

Gawd, three and a half years of complaining, one year post-quitting, and I'm still defending bloody Maccas Suppose it's because Scott works there and I have to defend his honour

[feeb]

Maccas does not need defending its yummy LOL

[feeb]

Hehe I ask for no lettuce always anyway as I don't like it!

Apart from cheeseburgers or quarter pounders! I also love Mcchicken no lettuce add cheese and bacon!!! yummmo I want maccas.

[hubba_bubba07]

No soft serve or thick shakes as its the ice cream sitting in those barrels and they arent cleaned daily..mega listeria right there...Any pre packed salads, like the chicken salad is a NO NO , as is anything with Lettuce on it as it sits in a container accumulating germies too....

[PumpkinZulu]

I'm sure it's totally fine to eat the lettuce, soft serve, soft cheese etc etc that you're not supposed to in preg, sooo many people do anyway...I guess it's just after 20 months TTC and 4 m/c's, I don't want to risk it, knowing me I'd be that one unlucky person Mmmmm I'm fighting the urge for a big mac though, as I had one last night. Next week maybe

[ShootingStar]

I think with filet o fish you just have to watch what other high mercury fish you eat that week aswell as it is made from Hake. Otherwise only other thing i steer clear of is soft serve.. in saying that i was a little naughty when pregnant with DS and had 2 soft serve cones.
