When I was pregnant with my first child I was picky with food. I hated oily foods and preferred to eat sandwiches in the morning. Hubby was very keen that I had healthy diet. And so we would ask around on what to eat and what not to eat. I could have those very sweet jams alright, but has to be controlled. Some sandwich spreads could be too sour. Ground pork or beef can be a good option, but they were too oily. Then we discovered healthy tuna. But shouldn’t sea foods be a no-no for pregnant women? I was delighted to know that pregnant women should not eat sea foods high in Mercury such as shark, mackerel, swordfish, tilefish—but tuna was not on the list! My joy was doubled when I learned that tuna and other sea foods not high in Mercury could prevent women from experiencing depression during and after pregnancy. Ground tuna with mayonnaise, cucumber, a little ham and cheese became my favourite snack during my entire pregnancy. I loved its taste and the thought that it was healthy for me and the baby. The truth is, I would love to make one good tuna sandwich soon—hhmm...the thought of it and writing this now really makes me hungry!So what's my recipe for tuna sandwich? Simple. Wheat bread, cheese, canned tuna, pepper and salt to taste with sliced tomatoes, lettuce and onions. Hmmm... makes a great tuna sandwich
