Yes, just a rinse under the tap @JoeX and they'll be fine. Vesta Beef Curry - loved it! And Butterscotch Whip for pudding. Or mandarin segments with Carnation condensed milk. I think we were all thinner until they replaced sugar with palm sugar in processed foods the 70s. Much more fattening.
I just rinse blueberries in a colander with plain water, and only just before I eat them. If it’s just a few to put on my breakfast cereal, I just put them on my palm and stick my hand under the tap. Then retrieve any escapees from the sink and wash them again! I don’t grow my own, so I’m more worried about who picked them. Home grown, I’d be happy just to rinse off the cobwebs and caterpillar footprints, less chance of ingesting anything like E. coli from the insects in the garden.
When I was pregnant first time round, and struggling to find anything I could eat without heaving up, one of the few things I could manage was the Vesta Beef Risotto. A culinary delight in every way All good fun eh?
Chinese food and lucozade for me. And I don’t even like lucozade! Spent much of the first trimester with my head over a bucket waiting for OH to arrive home with a takeaway!
I know the feeling @Ergates. I wasn't sick very often - just 24 hour nausea. I had cravings that lasted two or three days - often for things I didn't like either!
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My sister had a craving for Close Up toothpaste when pregnant with her first. Anyone remember that?
When we moved house some years ago I found, at the back of the pantry, some packets of out of date Vesta chow mein. I threw them away but rescued the little packs of crispy noodles... such fun to watch them expand when you cooked them
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
