I just thought I'd start a lighthearted topic to have something with which to chat with you ladies. Do any of you have crazy cravings? What do you guys crave? What do you like to eat now that you didn't like before this pregnancy?

I crave avocadoes, limes, grapefruit, icee popsand spicy Mexican food. I've been eating crackers for nausea and they can get boring so I put hot sauce on them...lol. I also like to eat oranges with hot sauce, I know that's weird.

It would be fun to hear any of you guys' weird eats these days.

I crave for food I can't find. For example, I love a hot bowl of soup noodles with roasted duck, but no such thing in any restaurant in the town I live in. I am actually not hungry during this pregnancy. (But I do eat, for obvious reason). I am 32w3d today, and have only gained 10 lbs. But we had an u/s for growth check at 28 weeks, and baby Isaac is measuring a bit bigger than his age. So I am not too worried.

Orange with hot sauce does sound weird... lol! :)

I don't crave anything really right now - just trying to manage the sickness. I did have a slight craving for vanilla ice cream last night, and it felt good. I did have a bunch of gherkins the other night, and I'm seemingly doing well with salt and vinegar chips - they seem to appease the little sprouts and their hormone mania! Last time I craved a lot of British foods - pasties, ketchup flavored chips, and cheese and branston pickle sandwiches. Oranges with hot sauce sounds interesting though!

My cravings are very generic --- Chocolate, donuts and ice cream!

Imagine my relief when I found out today that I passed my glucose/gestational diabetes test! I was really worried I was going to fail, because of all the sweets I've been eating during this pregnancy. Whew!

For me during my last pregnancy it was full fat milk... nothing else!! I was borderline gestational Diabetic, so wasn't allowed most sugary food... still haven't quite found my way back to eating as many cookies as I used to... somehow I connect sugar with my angel pregnancy, so just gone off it all.... spose that's lucky if I turn out to be borderline or fully diabetic again... but the milk cravings started up again this week... white moustaches all round!!

I don't have any cravings, yet. I am only 6.5 weeks. I am having a hard time finding anything that sounds good though. Last time I craved pickles and horseradish.

I crave fried pickles (which I usually dislike) and BEER! Specifically Dos Equis! :-P I've been given into the fried pickles a few times, but the last time I ate them they made me sick, so I don't anticipate eating those again. In fact, I groaned as I told my husband "No more fried pickles!" As far as the beer goes - I guess I'll just have to wait on that.

I crave oranges too...but not with hot sauce! Ouch, that would give me the worst heartburn! Also, veggies w/onion dip and chocolate (NOT together).

deleted_user 01/10/2011

Waffles and Chocolate!!!!!

Earlier I craved avocados, chicken, and apples...

I wonder what is next??!!! :)

@ Michaelamom, Fried Pickles are the best!!! You can buy them at Gordons Food Service or you can make them. So easy to make. You take dill pickles (the refrigerated kind), and whatever batter mix you like ( I love the crispy fry), and then fry them up in oil. I usually batter, fry, and then batter again and fry so the batter is a little thicker. I like dipping mine in ranch. As far as the taste...well I say it is like bitting into a fried cheese stick but then tasting a crunchy pickle. I suggest everyone try them :)
