Hi ladies.
I'm 11 weeks and have been having grapefruit very morning plus sparking water loaded with lime chunks. I too am craving that citrusy, bitter taste.
I'm glad I'm not the only (loopy) oneGrin
Always nice in the nice hot weather too !

mytime777 · 26/05/2012 13:28

Oh and pret do a really nice fizzy orange and a fizzy apple plus no nasties in them too. I can't get enough of them!!

Tonic water with loads of lemon and ice - you can almost imagine the gin ( almost)
This thread is making me realise I plan around citrus

I had a carrot and olive and lemon salad with hummus in a wrap, with orange juice. With a wedge of lemon on the side...

I am also craving lemon!
Have been scoffing lemon ice lollies which have also helped with all day morning sickness.

Can anyone remember the name of those biscuits which had a slight lemony tang to them. They were plain looking, I think they had little round bumps on them and may have been round? I have been thinking about them all day!

Its strange craved lemon and citrus when pregnant with my boys but not with the girls, anyone else found that?

EggWhiteOmelette · 26/05/2012 14:13

I cant recall the name@Pochmuckha, but these are damn gooooooood

I've been craving citrusy things things too. Particularly San Pelligrino orange but there's only one place locally that stocks it and it's £1.10 per can Shock

Currently drinking lemon flavored tonic water with lots of ice and wedge of lime...can almost convince myself it's a G&T :)

Antidote · 26/05/2012 14:46

Me too!

Last year waitrose did the most amaaaaaazing real lemon iced lollies. They were sensational. Couldn't find any in there last night. Bastards!

Queenofsiburbia · 01/06/2012 01:03

Mmmmmmm lemons! I've also been eating orange wedges all the time, and drinking G&T with no G but loads of lemon. I will have to buy the lemon lollies they sound good and I will eat the whole packet in one go one a day as a nice treat.

My other craving is ginger beer - great for nausea- and lemon ice tea. I have to be so strict in waitrise as they are basically pure liquid sugar and I could drink gallons all day. Instead I restrict to fruit juice and fuzzy water but not the same :(

Queenofsiburbia · 01/06/2012 01:04

That's fizzy water not fuzzy water.
Stupid clumsy fingers & annoying iPhone

If u want the proper lemonade don't buy the preprepared - ready made lemonade. It's all fake lemonade .
Squeeze 1-2lemons
And put half of one of the lemons in the blender after removing the seeds. Add cold water and the squeezed juiced and sugar according to taste. Blend Grin it's tastes lemony and creamy ! Yum I want one now!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 01/06/2012 07:22

I will do any citrus, lemon's limes and oranges. Have rediscovered orangina!

Load of the recipes in Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals have lemon and lime in the, a taste sensation!

Feeling a trip to costa coming on!

Exactly the same when preg with DD. Lemon everything! Think you're talking about San Pellegrino lemonade. In a can? Watch out for all that extra gas tho!! LOL!

sammyleh · 01/06/2012 09:11

Just reading the words San Pellegrino have given me the biggest craving for it now. My tongue is tingling like it does with lemon juice just at the thought of it. Yum!!

ButtonBoo · 01/06/2012 09:21

And if you can't find it...Lilt might just about cut the mustard! Was my midnight saviour when preg.

AC786 · 06/06/2012 11:12

It's Limonata by San Pelligrino- I am addicted too!!!!

Flisspaps · 06/06/2012 11:14

Strange - I craved cloudy lemonade with DD and plain lemonade with DS. I thought I was the only one!
