Just finished another bag of frozen raspberries and realised I wont be able to get any more until tomorrow Sad. Have started on the kids' ice pops instead...!

Renaissance227 · 11/04/2011 09:16

I've not thought of frozen raspberries before growing3rdbump but I totlly love raspberries so will definitely be trying them now.

I've started with apple and raspberry juice and ice cold milk. Seem to be going off a lot of other things I otherwise would have liked!

Might re-read this post for some of those good ideas.

Another strawberries here - it's pretty much ALL I want... my carbon footprint must be massive at the moment Blush as I am eating them for breakfast and then dinner as well, can't wait til my own start sprouting it will save me a FORTUNE!

Also anything appley but strangely not apples. Appletize, apple juice, Magners Blush but don't bother bringing me an actual apple lol

Mars Ice Cream Bars too, but have got DH hooked too so I think that's less craving and more the fact they are yummy and we are greedy Grin

finally got rid of my maccyds craving... now I want bitter drinks again and i might make some chocolate brownies.

Renaissance227 · 11/04/2011 14:06

What kind of bitter drinks Lolajane2009?

Love the sound of Mars Ice Cream Bars KatieWatie. Might try that later.

For some reason I'm craving things but by the time I leave work and actually get what I'm craving I no longer want it!

i like bitter lemon, grapefruit. things like that.

prolificwillybreeder · 11/04/2011 20:41

If its covered in pastry I want it! Especially sausage rolls and beef and veg pasties.
Raspberry pavlova is also a fave.
Posh rice pudding- rachels organic preferably
Raspberries in general
Garlic bread- I could easily eat a whole baguette!
Have not given in to the MacDonalds yet but it's only a matter of time.

Renaissance227 · 12/04/2011 09:01

Anything with vegetables in it seems to be my latest craving!
Strange seeing as I didn't like vegetables much before.

Trying very hard not to give in to the Mc D's cravings!

hmmm why are my only cravings for salad and tuna! Although last time craved oranges!

Renaissance227 · 12/04/2011 09:46

I've been craving salad and tuna too! Very strange! Smile

Barbeque Beef Supernoodles
Magnums
Crunchy nut cornflakes

Misty9 · 14/04/2011 13:01

I could do with having some cravings. Wheat-intolerant and also off chocolate since getting pg :(
any ideas for snacks are gratefully received! Oh, and I don't like nuts...
I have been enjoying crisps more than usual recently...does that count as a craving? :)

Renaissance227 · 09/05/2011 14:40

That does count as a craving Misty9!! I went of chocolate for a while too and still can't eat as much as I did before.

I like the sound of Magnums, though saw a Crunchie icecream yesterday and would have given my right arm for it. :)

PoppysMom · 10/05/2011 02:59

Anything pickled and lemons just cut in half and then eaten out of the rind :(

Renaissance I have the same problem about other cravings. I can't think of anything else in work and then get home to have some and either have one mouthful, or can't bare the smell/look/thought of it anymore.

Poor DH keeps having to eat very random things :o

Renaissance227 · 10/05/2011 14:17

Glad I'm not thie only one PoppysMom!! Grin

Today I am mostly wanting ready salted crisps and anything salty. Not sure why!! Smile

CornishKK · 10/05/2011 14:23

With PFB I craved salt and sugar together, marmite & nutella on toast or hot chocolate and salt & vinegar crisps.

This time I need cucumber sandwiches and Mint Aero Bubbles.

Renaissance227 · 10/05/2011 14:40

I'm loving mint aero bubbles right now! Like the mint taste but hate actual mints! Confused

Trying to decide whether to start drinking proper coffee again. I went onto Decaff because anything with caffiene in it made me really sick but now the sickness is easing and I think I might be able to cope with the real thing again. Should I risk trying it?

OP posts:
TeacupTempest · 10/05/2011 15:05

Fruit, especially apples.

Ice cream

Marmite

Skittles and Starburst (I never usually eat sweets)

Renaissance227 · 10/05/2011 15:19

Any particular ice cream TeacupTempest?

I go through mad hours where I crave McDonald's strawberry milkshake and I will do anything to get one and then when I get one I have to drink it non stop until it's all gone!

OP posts:
TeacupTempest · 10/05/2011 15:29

Well I am avoiding the "soft" varieties as the midwife nearly had a fit when I mentioned them......spoil sport. So I have had to resort to "proper" ice cream. The orange marmalade cheesecake variety I had at the weekend was good but then so was the common old cornetto I had too.......

It changes depending on the day. 2weeks ago I would have murdered someone for a solero!

Renaissance227 · 10/05/2011 15:39

I love red berry Solero.
Not sure why but if I am feeling sick a red berry Solero stops it for at least an hour after I've eated one!

Eviepoo · 10/05/2011 21:52

Now I want a cider lolly!!

Eviepoo · 10/05/2011 21:54

I keep liking things then a week later no liking them, I went through a cheese spread phase, a broccoli phase, a rice krispies phase, a chicken phase, etc etc I am now craving Guinness

littlebrighteyes · 10/05/2011 21:57
