Is this going to culminate in me eating laundry detergent?

The other day I ate a whole tomato, raw, straight from the fridge. I didn't think too much of it because it wasn't the first time I craved fresh tomatoes. Just the first time I ate a whole one. But then today while I was cooking dinner I got an overwhelming urge to eat some of the raw potato I was chopping. I ended up eating an entire raw potato with sea salt. And it was so good! WTF? Am I on the slippery slope to eating freezer frost and whatnot?

    Ewww, the thought of raw potato makes me gag!  But look at the bright side....at least it's food items you're craving.  I don't think it's considered pica as long as the items you're craving are edible.

    the thought of raw potato makes me ill....didn't it give you a stomach ache?  maybe mention it to your Dr. if you start to crave anything else that is a little odd...

    LOL! Sorry, but the way you wrote your post is pretty funny! I don't think you have anything to worry about. Sounds like you just had a craving! I think eating a raw potato sounds normal compared to some of the food combos I have seen my friends eat. I haven't had any cravings, but this journey isn't over yet. At least it was low cal...all I want is ice cream, cake and candy! I have never been a sweets girl! Maybe I am heading down a slippery slope too!

    I can't speak to the potatoes, but I usually eat raw tomatoes - delicious!  Especially with a sprinkle of sea salt.

    This exactly...especially in tomato season.

    I have never eaten a raw potato myself but I had a friend at one point that liked them, so I don't think of it as that weird. But on my list of reasons to call the doctor, one of them is cravings to eat non-food items - I never thought that could be a pregnancy symptom!

    I have been known to eat tomatoes like apples, even before being pregnant. And pp is right, as long as you are eating actual food (even raw potatoes), it's not pica. So hopefully you won't start looking at toliet paper with drool hanging off your chin.
