Weirdest Food Craving

What's your weirdest food craving?

Mine: Italian dressing. I could probably drink it out of a cup, if prompted.

Re: Weirdest Food Craving

  • Nothing crazy just yet.  I do prefer cold food to hot food though. :)

    I can't imagine that! Did it taste sour? 

    They were Meyers lemons so they were sweeter but they were still sour! Makes my mouth water just typing this....LOL!

  • Love that you started this post because although I have had very few symptoms of early pregnancy, I am craving weird food like crazy!! I never had food cravings during my first one, so this is all new (and slightly amusing) to me.

    So, here's the list:
    I can't get enough of anything grapefruit. Even bought some Pellegrino grapefruit soda.

    Tomatoes. Lots.
    Chocolate
    And more grapefruit. ;)

  • I haven't had a specific craving yet but my taste buds always change almost immediately when I'm pregnant.  I packed a salad last week in my lunch and I used to pack salads ALL the time.. I took 2 bites and thought I was going to get sick.  I have wanted bacon a lot.  Like BLT's and sandwich type food.   I ordered out two Fridays ago from our fave local little hole in the wall.. best.. food ...ever.  I have never ordered a burger there in m life.. like ever.  I called them and ordered a burger and then asked for extra pickles!  I hate pickles!  Just funny.  

    I also had a severe addiction to coke zero and even tasting coke right now makes me want to lose it.

  • Pop tarts, specifically strawberry.

    I haven't eaten pop tarts in years and was gluten and dairy free before getting pregnant, well that's all been thrown out the window!!

    I did find some organic pop tarts at Trader Joe's -- they're still not great for you, but gotta be better than the regular ones!
