sandwich fillings

Sparklebaby · May 4th, 2009, 09:09 AM

Im a little confused on what I can and cant have in a sandwich so at the moment Im having cheddar or marmite and after a while can seem boring.

I thought I read somewhere about hams and cold meats etc being a product to avoid?

I know I cant have preprepared fillings as they contain mayo

but what about everything else? whats about cold chicken or ham etc etc.

any tips for a newbie trying to get some fun back into her lunch

MAyo is fine as long as its not home made...so helmans is ok to eat..most of the pre packaged fillings are less like to contain listeria than anything home made!

Ive been eating tuna melt..which is tuna mayo, with cheese and chilli..sounds gross but is yummy!!

Oh and cold meats are fine as long as they are not from a deli (As they get warm on the deli counter), so packaged cold meats are fine too

You dont need to worry about mayo like Hellmans because thats pasteurised,its the homemade stuff thats a problem...
So you can go with tuna and mayo etc.
I cant give you much advice on meat as Im a veggie,I just wanted to let you know about the mayo xxx

I eat some cold ham, chicken (not processed) and occasionally tuna. I also put hard boiled egg in my sandwiches.

Be aware that you must not consume more than 4 small cans of tuna per week due to high mercury levels that can harm the baby.

Hi hun,

Basically just avoid anything home made when it comes to mayo! Shop bought is 9/10 ok. Chicken, bacon, anything like that is fine as well as pre-packaged meats like ham etc. Corned Beef is a favourite of mine at the moment! And tuna (actually fish in general!!) and sandwich pastes are talking to me as I can't have pate so they offer a poor mans alternative!

Basically, go ahead, just eat and dont worry too much about it....as long as you're getting a balanced diet, go for it!!

im only avoiding the risky things like tuna, brie , raw fish, undercooked meats, and smoked meats...just to be on the safe side. Hellmans is fine. Egg sandwiches are good if you cook the eggs well obviously. I am addicted at the moment though to sardine and tomatoe paste sandwiches..with the really cheapy bread from tescos...it reminds me of school lol
