GTKY: Cravings and Aversions

As we are entering the second tri, these might be less and less, but it's still interesting to hear.
-What are you craving lately? Hating?
-Is this the same or different than last/other time/s (if that applies to you)?

Re: GTKY: Cravings and Aversions
Aversions: Odd, but ground meat. Shredded beef, turkey slices, cut up chicken...all ok, but serve any of them in ground meat form, I can't do it.
Compared to last time: I craved Subway tuna sandwiches last time. I actually had to keep track, so I only had 1 per week. I didn't like eggs last time, but I've never really been fond of them. I didn't get the super sick feeling like I do with ground meat.

Aversions: chicken (last time I gagged the whole time I dealt with it), random things depending on their smell, and beer. I started hating beer before I found out and I still can't stand the smell of it.
Compared to last time: This is the first, so no last time. But I have to say, it's not what I was expecting!
Aversions: Eggs, specifically boiled
Compared to last time: I can eat this time around! Last time it was so bad, I was very very sick almost my entire pregnancy and lived on Zofran.

Aversions: luckily for me have been long gone (said bye bye to those wk 12) but I couldn't eat hamburger meat, or any kind of pasta because the sauce left a horrible taste in my mouth.
Compared to last time: this time I could actually eat more fulfilling foods. Last time I lived on crackers, soup and water! This time the morning sickness started later and ended earlier so that was a nice change from last time around.

Aversions: nothing in particular. I do have trouble with meat, but I can get it down. I just have not a very good appetite yet. I'm not nauseous I just can't eat more than about half of anything and then I'm uncomfortably full for hours.
FTM so no "last time"
Aversions: Pretty much anything I've over-played already, like guacamole, thai food, everything bagels, or those leftovers I'd be eating for the 5th meal in a row. I haven't been able to handle green olives since day 1.
My main aversion is most meats. I can handle homemade chicken salad, but I haven't been able to eat many cooked (I should say heated) meats. I'll probably enjoy the Thanksgiving sides mostly and the cold turkey sandwich leftovers.
I had the meat aversion with my first pregnancy and carb cravings, too.

BFP!! 8/29/16 --> EDD: 5/11/17....it's a GIRL!!!
Aversions- I've never been a huge meat eater and during pregnancy I can barely handle it.
My last two pregnancies I craved anything cold like smoothies, fruit, salads. And my one random thing I also wanted always was bean and cheese burritos. I had the same meat aversions as this time as well.

Cravings: Pickles, Meat. It's funny seeing others are adverse to meat right now. I was a vegetarian for 10+ years and started eating occasional meat about a year ago (like 1-2 times a month), but now I'm craving it and eat meat every couple days.
Aversions: Mushrooms. I've never liked eating them, but the smell is horrible right now.
Aversions: Honestly, it's hard to have an appetite for anything when everything smells gross, but I have been avoiding red sauces a lot. Also, I can not drink soda, it tastes like straight up chemicals and garbage water.
Last time VS now: last time I couldn't eat pizza at all and most foods turned my stomach which has been true some days of this pregnancy.
Aversions: meat and vegetables.
Different: VERY! Last time I was making 4 day a week trips just to get more produce from the grocery store. I would clear out sections of the salad bar at work and now I have to think really hard to come up with a vegetable I ate in the last month.

Aversions: I made salmon the night before my BFP but didn't feel like eating it and I've had an aversion for it the entire time. Other than that I can eat anything although most nights I don't want dinner and will eat something smaller. Aversions that I had during first tri that are now gone are pasta sauce, limes, and sweets.
All three pregnancies have been completely different as far as cravings and aversions go.

Aversions: I ate lo mein a couple times too many recently and now it sounds disgusting to me. Everything else is fair game!
Aversions: these come and go hourly, but I can't seem to think about a hamburger without gagging pretty consistently.
FTM so nothing to compare to!

Aversions: mushrooms and Thai food (because I ate so much of it pre and right in the beginning of pregnancy) and raw red onions (which I usually love in my salads and sandwiches)
Compared to my first pregnancy, I could really only stand to eat potato anything in the first tri (so pretty similar) and an aversion was Vietnamese pho (because I ate it so often pre and right at the beginning of pregnancy). So definitely some patterns here.
DS1 7/24/15
DS2 5/7/17
Cravings...orange juice, this is with every pregnancy, strawberry pop tarts(gross), fish, and sour cream, which I can't stand outside of pregnancy.
Aversions...eggs, mostly just when they are cooking, pizza, which I normally love, and beef when cooking.

Aversions: sweets
aversions: not many- some days it is grilled chicken and others sweets
compared to last- With both my last pregnancy I had extreme aversion to all meat especially red meat. I couldn't eat chicken until 3 tri. Thankful to not have such a limited diet!
Aversions: Mainly anything that starts to smell gross. Popcorn
Aversions: Basically anything healthy it seems... Absolutely no grilled chicken, fish, steak...I miss eating healthy a nice piece of meat and some veggies...
Why does being pregnant make me want to eat like a 5year old? For example the idea of a good burger is disgusting but I can do a Mc Donald's burger...
Aversions: Asparagus and broccoli.
This is my first pregnancy, so I have nothing to compare. I normally hate red meat and love the veggies, though.
Aversions: veggies, mainly cold ones like salads
Compared to: last time I had a major meat aversion and basically couldn't eat or cook meat until almost 30 weeks. And I craved cinnamon rolls and butterfinger blizzards (and I don't really even like butterfingers)
With my first pregnancy, I ate stouffers mac and cheese often at work, and fresh fruit (especially watermelon) and chocolate froyo at home. I think the watermelon was only because we lived in an A/C less apartment and I was already a furnace and cold treats helped.
