I have a two pound roast beef that I was going to cook for tea
tonight. (with roast potatoes, gravy, yorkshirepuds and veg)
Normally I cook it in the oven and have it slightly pink in the
middle.

Now the trouble is since I am pregnant I am not allowed to eat meat
that is not properly cooked through.

Shall I then make a pot roast of it or is there any good way of
cooking it in the oven withyout it getting dry?

The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible.
Then you gradually change in to them.

Which cut?

Btw, pink in the center is indeed properly cooked through.

I wish. Midwife says no. Listeria risk. Everything nice is on the
no-no list.

I don´t know the name of the cut in english. It is situated on the
innerthigh on the cow.

You eat potatoes while pregnant? Haven't you
ever heard of solanine poisoning?

Agreed; eating is banned while pregnant. The midwife says so.

There's no listeria risk whatsoever with beef roast regardless how cooked.

That's English (capitalized). You are rapidly losing all credibility.

I think you are being nasty now. This is my first child. I have never
been pregnant before. Coping with neausia is enough. I will not
question the advice of the midwife and the pregnancy books (one
english one swedish). I somehow think that trained professionals know
mopre than I do.

Here's a good resource for info on listeria. FWIW, I don't think beef
is a concern, but fish and chicken are. Cook your chicken to 165 F, and
stay away from raw fish.

Listeria isn't the only concern though. There are other microorganisms
they warn you about. See my other thread where I have posted what the
health and safety authority recomends.

Erika can take me in any position she prefers... I'll be honored to be lying
down while Erica takes me, with her huge heavy pregnant breasts up close and
personal... ohmygawd!!!... in this position Erika can call me anything she
likes.

Don't bet on it. Some do, others don't. Do your own research to back up
what the trained pro has to say. Sometimes they are wrong, DEAD wrong.

Listeria is a concern with hot dogs, but much less so with a beef roast
(find out what temperature the bacteria is killed). Look at the facts and
make your decision based on what you know, not what a supposedly trained
professional tells you. If you don't take charge of your body, don't expect
to get good results from the doctor, as he does not know how you feel.

Doctors are not dieticians and have little training in the field. The
mis-information they spread about dietary needs is horrific. I won't boor
you with many examples, but I've had quite a few instances in the past
couple of years. This one is a classic though, at a seminar given by our
medical center. My wife was given a list of foods good and bad for CHF
patients.

Good:
Milk
Ice Cream

Bad:
Milkshakes

I tried to get an explanation, but the alleged dietician could not give me
one, but just said to follow the instructions. Does that make sense to you?

Get facts. Make your own decisions. Good luck with your pregnancy. Keep
in mind they women have been having babies for many centuries. They
survived and you will too!

Yep, Erika is a liar and a fraud.

And keep in mind that women rarely die from childbirth today and a lot
more kids survive their first birthday today than a hundred years ago.
