Weirdest Cravings

Emerald27

When I was pregnant with DS, I craved coconut flavored things. But I didn't like coconut before I was pregnant (like I disliked and actually avoided it). I still like it now, but of course I don't crave it all the time.

Oddly enough, for the past week I've been craving another food I dislike; mustard! It's funny, because every time I order it, I ask for just a little, because I KNOW I don't like it and can't imagine wanting to actually eat it...and I end up going back to ask for more.

What a strange thing to crave! And not just any mustard. I don't want the brown/gray gritty stuff. I want THIS:



What WEIRD thing(s) have you craved this pregnancy? Extra points for a PIP.

The other day everything made me want to vomit... No food for me...
Except frozen blueberries and grilled kielbasa. Weirdest dinner combo ever.

Nerds candy!

I've been craving mustard as well, and green olives! I'm in love with the bitterness!

Watermelon juice. Not watermelon, just watermelon juice.

Those gross chocolate Hostess cupcakes with the cream filling. I am not normally a fan of sweets, but I ate 12 of them after sending SO out to get some.

Roasted chicken sandwiches from subways

Aarg

Shredded Cheddar Cheese and Ranch dressing. So random!

I've been craving tartar sauce, which is weird since I don't eat fish and probably haven't had tartar sauce since I was a kid and my mom force fed me fish sticks. I'm not sure what I'd put tartar sauce on now.

I had a few days where I had to have watermelon, then one day I really wanted scrambled eggs with hot dogs cooked into it. DH suggested sausage instead and I told him it had to be the cheap store brand hot dogs. We didn't make it home to cook it before the craving passed and now it sounds so gross.

That's impressive!

DH is dying for me to send him out for food.  Every time I mention a food he automatically jumps with, "Do you want me to go get it for you?!?!".  He would be SO happy if I sent him out for Hostess cupcakes!

This may sound gross, but when I was younger I loved cheese and tartar sauce sandwiches.

Might be good on chicken strips? I love all the creamy sauces, but usually with the intended main item. I've had a hankering for fish n chips lately, but not bad enough that I had to have 'em.

I want hot gooey cheese.  Like the melted cheese that's on macaroni, but I can't decide what medium I want it on.  I tell DH all the time that I want hot melty cheese and he has no idea how to accomplish this for me.  I feel bad because I don't know either.

I also want carbs, which is new.  But I don't want the cheese with the carbs (i.e. the melted cheese on bread or macaroni).  That would be too simple.

And I wake up every morning thinking about popcorn.  By the time I get to the kitchen, I don't want it anymore.

Nachos!!! Or on broccoli?

I appreciate the suggestions, but no. I just don't know! 

How about dipping freshly popped popcorn in melted cheese?

Just eat some off a spoon? Obviously would not be a great idea for a lot of it, but maybe just a little?

Stereotypical pickles... Yum!

Chicken strips don't sound too bad. @VCGolfNYC I don't think I could handle cheese and tartar sauce sandwiches!

I craved milk, cheese and beef jerky soooo badly with Ds.
I have rarely had milk since he's been born though, and definitely not in the 6 months leading up to getting pregnant. Well in the last few weeks all I can think about is milk! Seriously I am embarrassed to admit how much I've drank lately. Like there have been days like today I'm sure I've had over 20 oz 0-o
But it's one of the only things that sounds good right now. That and apples and tuna sandwiches from panera. Lol.
So not crazy weird. Just different since I don't drink it normally.

DreadGamerWife

I have been loving feta cheese.

Ooh @MRSclarke08‌ I ate sooo many baked potatoes last pregnancy. Days I had them for lunch and dinner. Little shredded cheese, some ranch. Yum!

Wendy's chicken nuggets dipped in a frosty... It grossed DH out so much. I also had a grilled cheese on rye bread with bacon, pickles and mayo at work a few weeks ago and my coworkers have been laughing at me since then lol

Pancakes and bacon for dinner, I've had it for the past week, we usually don't even have pancake batter at home. I bought it last groceries and the box is almost done :O

I had a pancake craving this week and ended up making bananas foster pancakes! Let me know if you want the recipe!

@jlz32185‌ I love frostys with French fries! I have been loving salads with dill pickles in it. And ice cream but that isn't any different from pre-pregnancy.

I second the slurpees. I haven't had them since I was a child now I have 3 or more a week. Sadly I can only have the wild cherry but I wish I could do the wild cherry/cola mix. So much better that way.

Snowballs and popsicles

Strawberry milk. Wise potato chips. Try to be careful what I eat, especially with all the garbage they put in things...but I couldn't turn down buying strawberry syrup last night to make strawberry milk LOL. And then I can't stop getting subs from this one little hole in the wall sandwich place out here. It's just a simple veggie sandwich yet it's so stinking good.

@MRSclarke08‌ I also went through a stint where all I wanted was orange flavored things. Unfortunately couldn't bare eating oranges or drinking orange juice...the acid reflux and heartburn was just awful from it. But, if you need to go about the fun route, Breyers makes the orange creamsicle icecream which I had for a week it was AMAZING (trying so hard to keep out of the icecream section LOL)

I craved sour patch kids and chocolate. I take a Hershey's chocolate bar and break off a square and then line it with sour patch kids and eat it. Omg! Delicious! I also wanted watermelon. I bought two and I have almost eaten the entire first by myself. Target was recently giving samples of this delicious appetizer. It was a pretzel stick with a black olive and dill pickle slice. It was really good!

Sweetiepops

First it was anything I could put hot sauce on. Then I moved onto anything sour (oranges, candy, pickles). Then it was anything I could dip into guacamole. Now it's tomato soup and grapefruit! mmmm I could really use a grapefruit...

So many more aversions than cravings. Cravings at first were carbs of any kind. Lots of cheez its. Ice cold beer. Then corn. Watermelon. Fruit salad. Ice cream, milk. Still craving Olive Garden's salad. Anything sugary.

golfingdarwinfish

Cravings have included sushi and the chocolate icing on Entenmann's fudge cake which is bizarre because I don't like chocolate or icing.  I haven't had that specific cake in at least 15 years, but I suddenly had to have it.

Me too! Wrapped in cheese and dipped in mayo. Sorry I'm not sorry.

I love pickles wrapped in Muenster cheese even when I am not pregnant ... yum! 

ohdaddycat

Corn beef hash with LOTS of ketchup, and cheese its with pickle slices. I hate all three lol

Late last night I was so close to baking a lemon cake. I decided not to when I realized we were out of cream cheese to top it will. Not cream cheese frosting, just cream cheese. I would have considered sour cream too, if we'd had any.

yoyopez

i had a cucumber lime gatorade the other week and thought it was the best flavor they've ever come out with.  i'm definitely going to buy more.  thurs night i made tzatziki sauce and squeezed the 'water' out of the cucumbers after i shredded them and rather than pour it down the drain i decided to drink it and it tasted so yummy to me.  guess i'm having cucumber cravings?  really it's more of a fresh-cold craving because i think a watermelon (or two) would do the trick, too.

I do the Wendy's nugget and frosty even when I'm not pregnant. It's so good.

None at all. I'm wondering if/when these will kick in?

I am with you, no real cravings. I will WANT something, like yesterday lucky charms sounded so good and I had to go to the grocery store anyway, so I indulged, but it isn something that I have flag out craved. I am kind of hoping the cravings stay away! My BFF was telling me she had a really as sweet tooth during her pregnancy and ended up with 4 cavities!
