Prawn Cocktail ? ?
Hello
It'll be christmas dinner round my mum and dads this year again which i love. However, we always have prawn cocktail as a starter. Obviously it's made from prawns that are bought frozen and defrosted.
I haven't a clue if i can eat them or not. Thing is, if i can't i've gotta try and think of an excuse as my parents don't know i'm pregnant yet!
Any help appreciated thanks.

ive just realised that for my work xmas meal ive ordered prawn cocktail, goats cheese tart, and brie and stilton with crackers for dessert.......ive tried to change it but its too late! im going to be very hungry....and i dont know how on earth im going to explain why im not eating anything as no-one knows im pg yet! what with that and no wine im not sure i see the point in going - lol!!
will be popping back to see what the consensus is!
My interpretation of this is that prawns are fine as long as they're part of a hot meal, e.g. prawn curry. So maybe they shouldn't be eaten as part of a prawn cocktail as this isn't served hot?!?! Oh it's so confusing!!!!! xxxxx
Mind you, it didnt stop my sister eating prawn mayo sarnies when she was pregnant. Think i must be more cautious though coz ive only eaten prawns in say stir fries or curries.
I think the only way cooked seafood can be dodgy is if it's re-heated and not cooked through adequately. But then that's the same with all foods, you need to make sure that everything is properly cooked through.
Just posted in another forum about foods that are "safe" and if we all followed what the government guidlines say we wouldnt eat anything whilst pregnant except green and leafy stuff! (hum! Then it needs to be washed!!!!!!)
