My grossest craving :)

ThePax89

It has recently occurred to me that I'm a disgusting, unsexable human being. Make me feel better. What is the weirdest/grossest thing you are eating or craving? 

ThePax89

A few weeks ago, I drank Italian dressing. I'm currently sitting with a bowl of giardinera- eating it with a fork.

I've made a pretty bad habit out of drinking pickle juice. 

ETA: I in no way believe you are gross and unsexable! But I understand feeling that way.

I haven't had much in the way of cravings but I've been avoiding washing my hair all week because I'm too tired to dry it. That makes me feel a little gross but not gross enough to make me wash it lol.

ThePax89

Oddly, drinking pickle juice when you have heart burn later in pregnancy is a lifesaver. @cjs260. (And you haven't seen me, it ain't cute) 

ThePax89

I've also been craving things I've never even tasted. 

With my last pregnancy, it was tofu. 
With this one, it's speculoos.

@ThePax89 I've never had a root beer float in my life, but H was out at 11 PM last night getting root beer and vanilla ice cream. Pregnancy is weird.

Today at a party I ate a stack of tomato slices dipped in mustard. It was exactly what I wanted (and so delicious) but everyone looked at me like I was crazy.

I literally just want chicken flavoured rice. I'm extremely full but must eat this chicken rice...so friggen good. *just chicken oxo mixed in when cooking the rice, in case you didn't know*

I ate an entire can of corn today. I don't know if y'all have ever poured an entire 15 ounce can of corn on a plate before, but it's quite a mountain. Everyone just stared, eating their plates full of a variety of foods, but I didn't care... I was in golden kernel heaven.

White Castle. I liked it as a kid, but I haven't eaten ground meat in almost 30 years. But the thought of biting through the bun to the crispy pickle, sounds so good.

loveinak

@canavara I ate a whole can of green beans the other day. Not heated and just poured out on to a plate!

Last night completely out of the blue at 11:30 pm I was seriously craving Reeses Puffs cereal.  I loved it as a kid but I'm pretty sure that under normal circumstances now I wouldn't really be a fan. Very unusual for me since last pregnancy o had only 1 craving on 1 occasion and it wasn't until much later.  Will be interesting to see if I get any others!

ThePax89

Canned veggies are suddenly sounding delicious @canavara and @loveinak

MaryNog

Salt & vinegar chips dipped in vinegar, because they just weren't sour enough!

sweetyjenj

Salsa. Not really gross, but I used to eat a little salsa on chips before getting pregnant..now I want LOADS of salsa on one chip. I almost started eating it with a spoon, but decided to stick with the chips because I don't want to be that girl eating salsa with a spoon

christac1010

I don't think it's really gross (probably because it's still my top craving), but right before I had my BFP, I ate an entire jar of banana peppers in one week. I was actually packing them in my lunch in a sandwich baggie to snack on at work. I've never liked banana peppers enough to just eat them straight from the jar, so it was one of my first signs I could be pregnant!

bab&tjp

No odd cravings yet but yesterday morning I woke up and as soon as I opened my eyes I thought to myself I want Pillsbury cinnamon rolls right now and ran to the store to get them. I never want to leave first thing in the morning (on a wknd) so that had to be a bad enough craving to leave barely awake lol

aels12

All I want lately is syrup on everything! We made a special trip to the store last night just to get waffles, sausage and hash browns so I could satisfy my syrup craving. At least I got whole wheat waffles and turkey sausage... Haha! And good thing we grilled Saturday and Sunday for the fourth so my husband didn't mind my odd meal request on the actual day of!

Ramen! I was passing through the grocery store and saw it and started salivating. Who thought pregnancy would make me revert back to my broke college days?

TexasGal24

I've mentioned this before on other forums but I've been craving cold spaghetti'Os (directly from the can) and chef boyardee raviolis (these could be hot though). I haven't gotten them yet because I know for a fact that I won't like them when I start to eat them but I've just been craving them ALOT!

susykat77

Fast Food. It is so gross and I so want it.

I've been eating ramen a couple times a week! So good! 

emilyeh

I've been eating chef boyardee, but nearly got sick in the middle of eating some last week, so think that's off the menu for a while. (Until I'm really craving it again.) Spaghetti O's have sounded good, but I haven't gotten any yet. I may need to buy some if we go to town later or at work tomorrow. 

emilyeh

My main craving is actually the same as when my period starts... Pizza rolls. I've actually been lucky in a way with how much crap I eat, not much goes down before my stomach starts hurting so I haven't gained any unnecessary weight yet. Once the nausea dies down, I'll be able to cook and won't have a problem eating better. But for now, simple and quick is key.

poetryandoceans

Not gross, really, but it could have been... My craving for mac and cheese finally made me cave and see if the lactose free milk and cheese products that hit our stores a year or so ago (like, actual milk/cheese with the lactose removed, not soy cheese or whathaveyou) would make a suitable mac and cheese; my husband is lactose intolerant, so I've been depriving myself of cheese based dinners for a very long time. Well, my friends, last night a whole new world opened up to me, and I had a huge plate of cheesey cheesey (lactose free) mac and cheese. Success!!

Yesterday morning the first thing I ate was a leftover cold hot dog from a cookout over the weekend. I literally just got up out of bed, grabbed a hot dog, no bun plate or condiments, stuck it in my mouth and ate it in front of the fridge. It was the only thing that sounded even remotely good in our house.

Also my aunt was kind enough to make me pigs in a blanket at her house when I couldn't bear to eat the burgers they were serving for 4th of July. All I ate that day were those pigs in a blanket and shrimp from one of those cocktail rings.

mommywesley

So far I haven't had any weird or gross cravings, just bad fast food and whatever is NOT in the house lol

Carly79

Nothing gross, just out of the norm for me. I have really wanted a thin crust, Ham and green olive pizza. With my first, I didn't really have cravings but pizza was the only thing that sounded good. I had absolutely no tolerance of meat (chicken, beef, pork) unless it was diced and mixed in with something. This time around, it's not as bad. Still doesn't sound good but I can at least stomach a little bit.

TinaBelcher

Nothing too bad- lots of fast food (burgers and tacos that I'd usually never eat) and juice- only juice, all the juice! I feel like a toddler!

This, seriously. I had it with my first pregnancy and again this time but not quite as bad. I'm convinced that pregnancy makes you want comfort foods you ate when you were a kid. A can of C.B. spaghetti and meatballs with a glass of 2% milk. Feel awful after eating it but still crave it.

katesmama0706

I can't think of anything weird this time (yet) but last time I remember wanting to drink that nacho cheese sauce you get from the gas station or the ballpark. My DH was pretty weirded out by that haha

Kristalyn85

Raw garlic. I convinced myself I am not going to get a spoonful today, but now it is on my mind.
I am officially getting out of bed ladies... 

loveinak

I love chopped olive and mayonnaise sandwiches. I don't know that I've had many gross cravings- just a lot of bad food cravings. Today, I had toaster strudel for breakfast, a salted soft pretzel with cheese, cinnamon roll, half a box of hot tamales, a pickle, and stoffers Mac and cheese. I need to get myself under control!

LCartee2016

@keifekm &  @ceclarlinetlo I've been doing the same thing. Not Ramen (the brand) but I've become a huge fan of those Maruchan noodle bowls. So cheap and delicious! I do try to limit myself though. 

Yesterday, I ate most of a pint (or liter?) box of strawberries dipped in caramel fruit dip. DH and I were watching Patch Adams ( )  and I  jumped off the couch and ran into the kitchen without so much as a word as to what I was doing. DH made big, scared eyes at me because I was a woman possessed! It was SO good though. Thankfully,  I saved myself a few for today.  

clichedemorgy

Mac and cheese (like the Velveeta kind) grilled cheese sandwich with Texas toast for the bread. I haven't fulfilled this craving yet. But I want it SOO bad.

itsmeraffyv

Not really a gross craving but all I want to eat is red grapefruit...every day. All day. LOL!! My husband hates grapefruit so he thinks I'm a nutcase. However, it's much healthier than my previous craving which was Jamaican beef patties.

ThePax89

@Kristalyn85 wins.

ThePax89

This post has spurred me to start eating clean. 

So I had a chicken nugget sandwich on a Hawaiian bun. 

ChaoticWolf

So this isn't a gross craving, but yesterday I was eating a krispy kreme donut and my dog stole a bite and then tried to get into the box, and I swear I screeched at her like I was possessed. Literally screamed/screeched like a chimpanzee and my poor dog didn't come up to me for the rest of the night. 

Basically like this. I don't know why that was my reaction but it was.

I currently do not consider this "gross" -- it's actually my gateway to nirvana right now -- but it definitely fits in this thread. I want cream cheese on everything. (Never been a fan of the stuff - always considered it to be kinda nasty.)

I want cream cheese on pickles, on bread, on watermelon, on a tortilla with a pickle rolled up into it, on sauerkraut, with berries and avocado, on its own... 

Pro tip: seriously, try the cream cheese & pickle combo in a tortilla. That's courtesy of H! ;-)
