Did all your pregnancy cravings go away PP?

When I was pregnant I LOVED Dr. Pepper. Not unusual no, but I hated Dr. Pepper before I was pregnant. And after I came home from the hospital I couldn't even look at the ones left over in my fridge, much less drink them. YUCK!
I also developed Pica while pregnant and loved to eat ice every day all day and also smell the smell of rubber. Both of these have definitely retreated back into the woodwork they emerged from.
So what cravings/must-haves came and went with your pregnancy? Any of them stick around? Or maybe the opposite, are there things you loved before your pregnancy but now avoid like the plague?

I loved potatoes when I was pregnant, then I found out I had GD and had to limit my starch intake. I don't want them ALL the time now but I still like them.
However, the last strange craving I remember was pickles and chocolate milk at the same time. That sounds good still, but very very separately.
Your string cheese comment inspired this thread. Haha.
That is heartbreaking about the chocolate though.
Oh yeah! I had a major meat aversion too. I mean even pre-preg and now, I am not a huge meat fan, but during the first tri I refused it. That linked with my rapid weight loss those first 3 months, my mom and hubby were practically trying to shove anything protein down my throat!
I never really had a sweet tooth before I was pregnant- I usually prefered salty- but I developed the hugest sweet tooth during pregnancy, and unfortunately that hasn't gone away
I craved mandarin oranges like crazy too, and I think I've only had 1 or 2 fruit cups of them since having L. I also couldn't ever get enough cereal...I ate a crazy amount...now I think I consume a normal amount of cereal haha
ETA: I couldn't touch or be near eggs or bananas while pg, I'm fine with eating them again now.
I loved fruit salad while pregnant... I had to eat at LEAST 3 lbs a week. Most weeks ate 6! I still love it but I don't need it anymore. I did develop a fondness for sweets in general, which I didn't care about before that much.
I had a strong aversion to meat for about 28 weeks. I can eat meat now, but there's a few dishes that I can't stand the thought of (attempted to eat them while preg and it's messed them up forever to me now)
I loved DR Pepper as well, now I would rather have a Coke.
Food from the Cheesecake Factory grosses me out now because I threw up after eating twice while pregnant. Which really stinks because that's where DH works.
I can't really eat fish still. I LOVE fish and then it started grossing me out during pregnancy and I'm still not able to eat it.
Sushi somehow is fine. Thank god!
Pineapple and coconut anything! Mmm...I still love it. Not as much- I would have 3-4 pineapples a week and add coconut to everything I could, now, I've cut waaaay back.
