jalapeno bites - cravings and confessions

[bugoven]

I am 15 weeks pregnqnt with baby#2.
Friday night my OH and I went out for dinner and I ordered a side of jalapeno bites, the ones that are a baked jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese and covered in breadcrumbs.
Last night I was home alone with the baby asleep and had two I'd brought home as leftovers. Not satisfied I ordered some to be delivered by a local pizza place. I had to spend over £10 so ordered three portions and ate them all!
Tonight I can think of nothing else. I have searched every online supermarket and found I can buy them in Tesco, Sainburys and Morrisons. I am obsessed! Anyone else getting cravings on the same scale? I think I have a problem!!!!

Plaster dust and paint fumes ! I would love to eat a mouthful of very dry plaster dust or fine saw dust. I'm loving the smell of tarmac and that sort of thing. I spent 45 minutes in the hardware shop buying one coat hook at the weekend. This has been a weird pregnancy!

[FraggleRock77]

Why haven't i got any cravings! None first time round and none now!!! I really wanted to crave anything pickled or salty! Rubbish. I'm not even that hungry most of the time!

[MissMrsMummy]

Not spicy as such but definitely more strong flavours (when I used to love bland food before!) like rocket, sweet chilli, balsamic... I also prefer savoury to sweet at the moment!

I have literally walked miles today and tried so many shops to get some more. I have been to 2 Tescos, Aldi, Lidl, Fafm Foods and Iceland. Ended up trying the Burger King chilli cheese bites (ate 6) and buying a bag of pretty much the same from Farm foods (ate 10). They are good but only a sunstitute. We don't have a car til the weekend so I may have to get a roaming bus ticket tomorrow.
I haven't had any heart burn as a result but yesterday I had a very very large poo.

MissTwister,because of this thread I ended up in morrisons after work spending £6 on 30 jalapeño poppers

You aren't alone haha

[MissTwister]

I'm not going to lie. OH has cone home and we're scrapping our planned dinner to get Jalapeño Bites!

I'm not sure my heartburn is going to thank me.....

First baby I craved only spinach and taramasalata. Next two can't remember. Last one - spice city. Anything with chilli and a bucket of tabasco on everything when pregnant. Little man is also a spice boy. From first food he's been happy with super spicy food.

I am currently addicted to jalapeño poppers! If you haven't already tried them get the big box from Costco. They are divine.... Morning afternoon and night I could eat them!

Also addicted to monster munch pickled onion crisps and I've been known to make yummy 3am crisp sandwiches with them

ok so you can't order the m&s jalapeno cream cheese tasty little things online, it seems, but someone has kindly posted a drooling picture on facebook:

I'm having brown rice with vegetables and chopped tomatoes tonight. it might be rude if I didn't go via m&s and have some of these on the side...

[Frolicacid]

Thanks luna. I'm having my bloods done tomorrow to check iron levels. It's so weird. I'm utterly obsessed. I bite chunks off and chew them like gum. It takes all of my willpower not to swallow!

[loveulotslikejellytots]

Anything salty. And anything rubbish pot noodles, KFC chips with gravy, white bread marmite sandwiches. I'm limiting myself to a couple of the above a week. I wish i could crave something like cucumber!! Oh and the R Whites lemon ice lollies!

[craftynanny]

oh God I am desperate for some of these jalapeno bites you're all talking of! One day I fancy sweet cakes, ice lollies and donuts to suddenly only wanting really salty everything,crisps. really sharp and spicy soups and Chinese type dishes..also Doritos and salsa!
I had those jalapeno bites YEARS ago at a party and couldn't find then anywhere. Now its sounds as if they're everywhere!!

[lunalovegood84]

Frolicacid- I had a stage of that too. Are your iron levels down? With me it was definitely linked to low iron, a few weeks of iron tablets sorted that out. I was obsessed with a particular sponge that had an exfoliating side with bigger holes. Actually bought one solely for sucking water out of it.

[MissTwister]

I have never had them. Now I want them so bad.

[Frolicacid]

Just be thankful that you're craving food! I'm utterly obsessed with wanting to eat bath sponges!

[scarednoob]

Nope, you could have been (or bean, haha) talking to me too, 3 bean soup, bean chilli - bring them all on!

[bugoven]

Sorry got my posters mixed up then. Probably due to jalapeno withdrawal related mind fog.

[bugoven]

wishful M&S ones. I bet they're not just any jalapeno bites. Maybe I could buy some from every available source to compare. What a good plan

scared I have never tried that soup but may have to now as it follows the Mexican theme!

[bugoven]

piggy you are only doing what I would have done if I had any. Am now thinking I may need to pop into burger king too.

[scarednoob]

M&S do lovely jalapeño bites!

I haven't really had any cravings - apart from diamonds, which I keep telling the OH, but he doesn't seem too keen on listening...!! - but have been so much hungrier than normal.

At first I really went off sweet things and couldn't face chocolate, but loved crisps, cheese, peanuts. Apparently salty cravings means a boy. Right. Then I changed to fancying sweet things. Which apparently means a girl. So that old wives tale got properly debunked!

[OTheHugeManatee]

Cheese and crisp sandwiches here. And Herta frankfurters for breakfast, cold, out of the pack

[teejayem]

Bovril. Out of the jar, and then on toast with a side of hula hoops. Pretty much all I ate first trimester. Salt was king!
Third trimester it's been sweet dairy things. Chocolate eclairs, magnum ice creams, milky bar. I hadn't eaten a cream cake for about 15 years until about a month ago and it seems I am making up for it. (I have them at breakfast...)

[Wishful80smontage]

I'm 12 weeks and loving ice-cold fanta- has to be in a can and straight out the freezer.
I'm eating 3 bean Mexican soup every day for lunch I always think I'll have something different today and then get to 11am and start craving the soup.
I had a real thing for chip shop curry sauce for a few weeks that stopped on Friday (thankfully for my waistline) ate some of meal and decided it was in fact pretty rank.

[Cherryblossomsinspring]

I had duck spring rolls for breakfast every day for a week when I was about 8 weeks.

[HazleNutt]

not jalopenos, but I had a massive craving for tomato juice this time - 2 litres per day at least. And one day, when Dh came home lugging another crate, I just looked it and said 'Nah..'
