Apple Crumble

So I am and have been craving apple crumble for the last week. It's got to the point where I cried because people on come dine with me were eating it. I just made some and ended up dropping the dish on the floor where it smashed and burned my legs with hot apple.

I was so excited for that crumble I have spent the last 20 minutes alternating between swearing loudly at the bowl and it's selfishness and then crying...Pregnancy is a strange thing... Hmm

Anyone else found themselves in a similar situation?

I had a few weeks of craving full fat coke - but only macdonalds full fat coke (for some reason macs tastes different to a sealed can/bottle)
anyway - sent dh to get me some one evening and he came back with diet so the princess that pregnancy made me I sent him all rhe way back to swap it.

disclaimer: I did apologise once my craving passed and thankfully it didn't last too long Grin

Oh pregnancy makes us into funny people doesn't it? We went shopping the other day and I finally got my apple crumble! I saw it in the freezer section and OH said I could have it. I grabbed it out the freezer and hugged it whilst weeping with happiness. I got some funny looks though standing cradling an apple crumble crying my eyes out!

I have now moved on from the crumble craving onto fishcakes and beans. I have eaten it for every lunch and dinner for 4 days I can't get enough of it!

the cravings surprised me to be honest. I was prepared for craving something weird and wonderful for the whole 9 months not sure where i actually got that idea from

in reality, i craved macs coke for a couple of weeks, at one point i couldn't get enough cheese, had a few weeks on chicken nuggets - would literally just cook in my house, putting something in the oven is cooking chicken nuggets on their own for meals, though I did provide DH with other forms of sustenance. Think that was about it, the rest of the time i was relatively 'normal' (for me)

I've not been too bad I dont think, did send oh out for cocktail sausages a few weeks ago and told him not to come back with empty hands, and I made him drive me to the shop and buy me a basket of cake, literally full to the brim! the only times I've cried is when we were at the supermarket near lunch time and I was hungry but didn't know what I wanted, oh suggested just about every food under the sun but I didn't want any of it, literally bawled my eyes out cause I was dead hungry, took about 20 minutes to figure something that I wanted to eat, oh just kinda stood and looked at me like Hmm

I'm actually quite gutted not to be having strong cravings this time round. Last time, it was summer fruit. I used to walk through Sainsbury's on the way into work each morning and clean them out of peaches, nectarines, strawberries, the lot.

This time, aside from a couple of days where it was lime pickle with yoghurt or bust, I feel I've completely missed out on that whole hormonal-surge-me-and-my-belly-against-the-world utter desire to consume thing, and I am a bit sad about that. I even worry that my baby will be all, like, 'meh' about food. DC1 would kill her own mother for adores summer fruit.

I had a rhubarb crumble last night, was soooo good. I would have cried too if I had dropped it!

This thread has been making me chuckle. I read some of it to my oh to prepare him. I am just at the end of the 1st trimester. Let the cray begin

Ooooooo apple crumble... I'm drinking gallons of apple juice at the moment but that sounds amazing.

aoifebelle Good luck to your OH! mine is convinced i'm making things up just to annoy him now haha! I wanted a burger with cheese for dinner last night. Not a cheese burger. A burger, with a piece of cheese on the plate next to it. He made me a cheese burger and I burst into tears and told him he was the worst partner ever because he had ruined my day and then I went and sulked in bed.

That is the best example of pregnant crazy I have ever come across.

I just came up with an excuse to go to the supermarket and bought apple turnovers (for lunch - nothing else required) and apple crumble and custard for later. Thanks for the inspiration! I'm at that stage where only the exact thing I'm craving will do and everything else makes me heave.

Off to a barbecue later and the smell of cooking meat is going to be awful.
