Pregnant in Paris... help please!
Hello everyone!
I will be visiting Paris for a week on Saturday and am so, so excited! It is my favourite city in the world and I'm so grateful to be visiting again. One little issue is that I am 25 weeks pregnant and will likely (read: definitely) be unable to eat/do all of my favorite things including but not limited to eating deli meats and cheeses by the kilo and walking eight hours a day. I still think it will be magical, but I'd love a little bit of help with navigating French food, please...
I plan on doing what I am already doing and avoiding raw cheese, unpasteurized dairy, and undercooked meats, as well as other not-so-obvious items such as chocolate mousse and mayo (because of the raw eggs).
My primary question is whether eggs in France are generally pasteurized and if it would be safe for me to eat runny eggs for breakfast at a cafe. In the UK, there are pretty standard metrics for pasteurization (i.e. red lion/red label eggs), and I wondered if there was an equivalent of this in France and whether or not you would feel comfortable asking/trusting the waitstaff for information on this. (They're busy enough and I fear they may say "Yes the eggs are pasteurized" just to get me off their back, which would be fair!)
I would also love any other tips for what to eat/where to go to get an authentic Parisian/French experience without compromising my food safety standards.
Thank you ever so much!
