Nothing weird here but I have to have a Rocket based salad at least once a day, don't normally like rocket very much but can't get enough of it at the moment. And cheese with it, it was feta but have now changed to cheddar with mayonnaise, just to balance out the healthiness of the salad!!

I'm also eating rather a lot of fruit every evening, last night I ate 5 nectarines! The night before was plums as I'd run out of nectarines. It was satsumas before but thats faded a bit now, I also have 2 punnets of blueberries awaiting me in the fridge. I think its the juiciness as I've had very bad hyperemesis which I'm getting over now but still can't drink much at a time and can't stomach water at all so think I'm probably still a bit dehydrated. I also can't stomach chocolate which is pretty miserable!!

During the last week or so I've been craving vanilla flavoured yoghurt (also chocolate, but that's nothing new to be honest!)

Jaffa cakes, sesame bars, prezzels, KFC and Tango I will have an orange baby I'm sure! Blush

choolate ( lots of it ) i know it just sounds like an excuse....but im really not a chocolate person usually....apart from the odd bit of dark choc ( yum ) now i cant walk into a shop without coming out laden with mars bars. :p Also those cheap plasticy cheese slices on white toast. mmmmmm. and jelly straight out the pack....has to be blackcurrant flavour. as does the juice i am going through by the crate. Oh, and mushrooms, which i usually hate?!

pipplin · 01/02/2011 13:09

A can of Rio, you can't get them in very many places here.
Fizzy sweets
Ham and tomato in a cheese topped cob.
Mmm plastic cheese slices. Am off real dairy products.
Cinnamon Grahams- they are good!

Crunchies! Hadn't had one for years, just not a bar I would ever choose but I just love them atm. I ate all the Crunchies out of DS's selection boxes Blush

I have rediscovered the delights of full fat coke after being a strictly diet coke girl...it is amazing and I could drink it all day if I didn't restrict myself. Also for the first 3 months I basically lived off frazzles and onion bagels with philly cheese. Now it's anything salty - have completely lost my sweet tooth (apart from coke, of course!)

RugbyWidow7 · 01/02/2011 14:21

ooh this is making me hungry!

I cannot walk around a shop without buying Haribo or some simlar bag of jelly sweets. I'm addicted and can't eat enough. I don't usually have much of a sweet tooth, so this is ridiculous.

Also ham. Bovril. Chocolate.

Leilababyno1 · 01/02/2011 14:41

Oranges and Extra Strong Trebor mints..can't get enough of them- popping a packet a day[shocked] Also, had to go out today to get a couple of cheap ice lollies from the newsagent- yum!!

theonlyhb2 · 01/02/2011 14:47

shinydiscoball - Ham, me too!!! with dairylea, in brown toast, 2 slices, honey roast, going thru about 10 slices a day (ham, not toast!)

mum295 my friend gave me 30 packs of quavers for my 30th last month......they lasted 8 days. Now I cant stomach them!

i have only read the first page........sand, petrol, sponges.......makes my jalapeño peppers and pineapple (together, hot, on pizza but I now have both in the fridge, ready to add to everything!)

NatChrisBump · 01/02/2011 16:31

Tinned peaches and lots of them! :)

Tarlia · 01/02/2011 17:05

murky brings back that memories, I'd forgotten, the only 'real' foods I could eat when I had all day nausea was mashed potato, with lots of salt and with or without melted cheese and boiled carrots. But I couldn't cook it, so poor OH had to make big pots of potatoes and carrots hehe

Then it was baby oranges.

I went through the beetroot stage too, strange.

Some of these cravings are odd.. Lettuce!? Catapiller :P

Now at 36+4 I don't crave anything in particular in vast quantities, but often have random things pop into my head that I'd like to eat.

ShazGJ · 01/02/2011 19:56

I am craving orange juice consistently, have also been through stages of muller fruit corners, ready salted crisps and more recently cream eggs which I usually can't stand.

Also gone completely off meat, have gradually been able to eat it if disguised by spices like a chilli con carne but definitely couldn't stomach a steak.

fallingandlaughing · 01/02/2011 20:03

Mushroom crepes.

Have been cooking them up but now it wearing off into applewood smoked cheese and oatcakes by the bucketload.

Nicplus1and1baking · 01/02/2011 22:14

Cauliflower cheese
Onion rings ( has to be battered ones )
Beetroot
Oranges
Fizzy sweets
