There is nothing better than McDonald's fries dipped in their strawberry milkshake! Blush

chilli con carne, scotch eggs and snowballs/tea cakes, but not at the same time. Also the tea cakes have to be the ones with jam in.

got an easter egg delivered this morning and nearly knocked hubby over in rush to get it from him.

Mmmm Chilli con carne, scotch eggs, and McDonald's fries sounds good! I guess my sickness is finally easing. Can't stop eating the above stuff! Smile

I can't wait for strawberry season to start. Just hope I can PYO with bump as i am currently 16 + 6 and expanding by the day.

Bassetts Sherbet Fountains. I can't stand liquorice so I'd pick out and discard the stick, but it had to have had the liquorice in there to give the flavour. I couldn't just go to the sweet shop and buy a bag of sherbet.Confused

Last time it was fish. Sardines or tuna.

Leilababyno1 · 07/04/2011 16:01

It's called Rekorderlig...AMAZING!

I really recommend it over ice with some lime wedges....A very good choice if you want to use those 2 units a week wisely!Smile

I'm obsessed with Wilkos pic n mix, it HAS to have jelly strawberries, frosted strawberries, fizzy cola bottles, loads of dolly mixtures, and loads of jelly beans. Oh and I also can't stop eating strawberries and cream. Can't stop drooling if I even THINK about Brothers Strawberry cider. 8 weeks and 5 days to go. . . . .

I am a total McDonald's junkie at the moment. I came home from work early for a midwife's appointment, totally bypassed the virtuous Innocent veg pot in the fridge and went straight out for a Quarter Pounder Deluxe with bacon meal. Mmm. And I won an apple pie and a hot drink on the Monopoly thing so I have an excuse to go again Grin

Charleigh0 · 07/04/2011 16:09

Mash potato and bananas with chocolate sauce! Not at the same time though, would be very strange! Got to love a good cheeseburger from Mcds too! Grin

Charleigh0 · 07/04/2011 16:10

Loving the Mcds Monopoly too! Always great to have an excuse to go back!

coastgirl · 07/04/2011 16:14

I started this pregnancy so determined to eat well but I've had more McDirty's than at any other time in my life! It's delicious!

EggyAllenPoe · 07/04/2011 16:14

rekordelig i thought was foul. crabbies ginger beer though = just like an alchoholic soft drink. yummy.

though i thought the thread title was a dish attempted by a masterchef contestant.

nunnie · 07/04/2011 16:18

Oh I've never really had cravings as such with any of mine feel left out.

I saw an advert for toffee dodgers today outside tescos today too and had to have them. I ate so healthily pre pregnancy that I feel really guilty that a lot of my old diet no longer hits the spot.

I'm a sherbert flying saucer whore at the moment. There's a posh sweet shop in town, and she knows me not only by name, but by how many weeks I've got left now Blush. I've also got a thang for cinder toffee, dirt cheap ice lollies and take-away curry with chips .... Ooooooh, I really don't want the haddock fillet I bought this morning for tea now ...

That's the problem with this thread - we're all going to be terribly disappointed with dinner tonight now :(

lolajane2009 · 07/04/2011 16:58

this thread is making me hungry

BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte · 07/04/2011 17:36

Me too. I'm into toast with peanut butter at the moment, smoothies with crushed ice and chewing gum...

LittleMilla · 07/04/2011 17:42

wobbly I am the same on the cheap lollies. I'm now 37+5 and have had supermarket people running out back to check if there's more rocket lollies in stock, in January Hmm. Just moved on to asda cider lollies, they're lush.

This week my things has been coco pops and crumpets with butter and marmite. ALthough I am interspersing the sh*t with some fruit and veg. Just not instead of.

wobblyweeble82 · 07/04/2011 17:51

Oh LittleMilla, you are a woman after my own heart! The £1.50 rocket lollies from Asda, no? They're AMAZING. The Marks and Sparks ones aren't anywhere near as satisfying. DH came home with the Asda cider lollies last week - think they lasted two days... They don't stock them in the local Asda though. I bought a packet of their frozen rhubarb the other day and sat sucking on them like they were sucky sweeties. Apparently that makes me a dirty bastard Grin

Irn Bru and Bassett's nougat bars (the pink and White one, texture of play doh).
Now know what a drug addict must feel like as I was going in every shop in the centre of Birmingham asking for Nougat lol.
