Food cravings and aversions

I'm 12+2 and have had nausea for about 8 weeks now, accompanied by cravings and aversions that seem to change every 2-3 days. I went off tea, coffee, alcohol and meat pretty early on, conveniently, as well as apples, tomatoes and soup (all of which I used to have daily). Since then I've craved and then loathed:
Eggs
Cheese
Strawberry yogurt
Chocolate biscuits
Houmous
Chocolate
Pears
Smoothies

Currently living on yogurt with pineapple or honey, toast, more yogurt, crunchy cereal, pineapple chunks and gallons of orange juice.

Come lament share your cravings and aversions with me, our food bill is through the roof atm...

I couldn't stomach yogurt throughout my pregnancy and still can't now. Most of the time I craved oranges or peaches. Oh and mints!

Went right off chocolate! The horror! Basically lived off salt & vinegar crisps, peanut butter and green olives during the first half of my pregnancy. Oh and cheese. So. Much. Cheese.

It's eased off a lot now and I've sort of got my sweet tooth back. But I still get sudden random urges for cheese and peanut butter and it almost makes me a woman possessed Confused there's a burger place not far from me that does peanut butter cheeseburgers and we have spent a ridiculous amount of money there Blush

I completely went off Chinese food! I know that is basically illegal. The thought of a chicken chow mien would turn me green!

First craving started with salt and vinegar French fries! Seemed to have a looooong time without any other cravings until around 27 weeks up until now still all I ever want is Irn Bru and cold rice pudding straight out the tin!

The love for Chinese food eventually came back (thank the lord)

Oh and chocolate . I cannot stop with the chocolate to the point where glucose is constantly showing up in my urine tests BlushBlushBlush

I can't eat satsumas or grapes (usually my favourite). Tomatoes and weirdly lettuce are vile ATM. I've just stopped craving salty food and I'm currently obsessed with mango. I'm quite relieved, I'm getting more variety now. Vegetables are ok. Beef is literally the worst thing in the world though.
