Weirdest Food Craving?
E=Mc3

Hi-
My DH was laughing at me yesterday when I was eating rice mixed with peanut butter and Hot Kim Chee. I thought it was wonderful. He said the thought alone made him mildly ill. I also have had an attraction to the smell of laundry soap with all my pregnancies-including this one. I will never actually eat it, but sometimes it smells good enough to make the thought cross my mind. LOL!
Anyone else out there had strange cravings or been attracted to the smell of unusual things?

Re: Weirdest Food Craving?
During my first pregnancy my cravings were pumpkin pie and Ocean Spray 100% White Grapefruit Juice. That juice only. I actually emailed Ocean Spray to tell them about it and they sent me a free coupon! Score.
DH also made the fatal mistake of eating the last piece of pumpkin pie once. I cried so hard that he went to the store at 10 pm to buy another one. He didn't do that again without asking. Poor guy, I think I scared him.

Although I'm not sure if that's related to pregnancy, or the fact that I've been on a pretty strict diet for the past 9ish months. Either way- CHEESE ME, PLEASE.

However, out of nowhere this morning, I wanted Boca sausage links so badly. That was weird. Also cucumbers can fuck right off.
I was going to get some yesterday but I was dry heaving my way through the store, everything sounded repulsive so I thought the craving would pass. Nope. Sitting at work today trying to think of what restaurant has potato salad.
ETA: Mustard potato salad. Because mayonnaise is gross.
For one brief moment, I only wanted toast with peanut butter. Then yesterday, I wanted beer-battered fish tacos so bad.
One consistent thing though: I've been putting ketchup on almost everything. It's embarrassing.
I've also been eating a ton of kids' cereals--I'm normally a cereal person but not the really sugary stuff, and I definitely ate a bowl of Cap'n Crunch (with crunchberries!) for breakfast. Fun fact, it has 100% of your daily recommended folic acid...so I can pretend it's for baby's brain health...right?
For me I've wanted cheese (super sharp cheddar is my favorite), pickles, cheeseburgers, mozzarella sticks, white cheddar bacon popcorn from Trader Joe's.
DH side eyes me when I had fries dipped in ketchup and blue cheese dressing mixed together. (We were out of mayo)
