Fancying stuff I'm not normally fussed by

[NachoNachoMan]

So... since there's been shortages in the supermarkets, schools closed, social distancing etc, I really am in the mood to do stuff I'm not normally fussed by:

• I really want to eat an egg sandwich (don't usually eat eggs or bread!), but I have NO eggs, and neither me or DH have found any for a couple of weeks!
• I am in the mood to go to a farm to watch lambs being born - not usually an animal person though
• I really want to do the school run (normally counting down the days til the next hols!), I miss normality!

So what do you fancy to eat or in the mood, that you aren't normally bothered by, just because you can't?

The gym

@bellalou1234 I haven't reached that stage of cabin fever yet 😂

@NachoNachoMan where abouts are you? I’ve been delivered a metric fuck tonne of eggs from our local farmer and happy to give some over to help with the sandwich craving if you’re nearby!

Just the desire to socialise more when I'm usually not bothered.

ALL I want is a big punnet of juicy, sweet, red strawberries.

I have strawberries but absolutely no eggs.

Weirdly a McDonald’s even though I haven’t eaten one in years. I suppose the ‘not being able to have one’ effect is in full force!

Yes, I really fancy a sausage McMuffin today!

I really fancy my usual Tesco lunch meal deal of feta and tomato salad, with salt and vinegar Properchips and fizzy water. But will be having the slightly out of date Ryvitas that no one wants to eat instead.

It would be easier for me to purchase a Glock 17 and an ounce of crack than it would to get hold any eggs in East London at the moment.

A Leon breakfast box and a bag of toast, preceding a visit to a London museum or gallery.

I'll never take normal, small things for granted again.

@Gemma2019 I haven’t seen salt and vinegar properchips for ages - I thought they’d stopped making them.

I want to do some baking. I don’t even like baking, but I want to make a cake!

I lived abroad for a while in the 90s and although there were no shortages I craved things I knew were impossible to get. Things like Irn-Bru - never drink the stuff usually but I wanted it SO much.

At the moment, I'm craving a wee mooch around Waitrose, getting a coffee or meeting up with a friend for a chat.

Soft play. I want to take the 16mo to soft play so she’ll go to sleep properly at night again 😩

@JigsawsAreInPieces I’ll swap you one of my chickens for your strawberries.

Crisps
Spicy stuff

To the poster who wanted to see lambs if you go to the Facebook page of cannon hall farm the farmer is doing a Facebook live every morning of him doing his rounds ❤️. Two were born while he was filming today.

Eggs - which I finally managed to get yesterday. And some berries!

I want a mars bar. And a mcds.

I'm diabetic and already have to eat things I didn't before (pasta/rice etc, whereas before this I'd dropped out all bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, sugars) so dont have room in daily carbs to add a mars bar in ffs. And mcds is shut 😭

@Gemma2019 that raised a smile. Can confirm that from the view out my East London flat, it is indeed very, very easy to purchase an ounce of crack at the moment!

Eggs however, are impossible and I'm desperate for a McDonalds breakfast for the first time in years.

A pint of beer, in a pub.

We sometimes go weeks without going to the pub, but I'm really craving it atm.

Just typing the words and I can almost taste it ... Harveys of Sussex best bitter. {sigh}

I am craving a cigarette with a cup of coffee I stopped smoking 3 years ago

A pint of proper Guinness in a proper pub.

I'm craving cheesy chips from our local kebab shop, and a halloumi wrap. I've only ever been there once but I can't stop thinking about it.

I also want to sit in the sea whilst reading a book. I know this would be logistically impossible because the pages would get wet, but I really want to.

Swimming (something I do about twice a year normally).

Extravagant Starbucks customised drinks with all kinds of extras.

I'm a total home bird, but I suddenly want to go everywhere. I'm watching Fargo, I want to go to Minnesota. I read that people are being quarantined in Siberia, I want to go to Siberia. Someone on twitter mentions Kidderminster, I want to go to Kidderminster.

I was fine until I read halloumi in @PerpendicularVincent post, now I really want Harvester deep fried halloumi and chips with a bowl from the salad bar!
