Bloody cravings

For the past two weeks I've been really, really craving pickled eggs. But I live ina small town with only a co-OP and Tesco Express, none of which had pickled eggs.

I managed to go to a bigger Tesco yesterday and went straight to the aisle with pickled things. Found my long wanted pickled eggs, then my watering mouth stopped as soon as I found them. I turned my nose up and walked away.

Today I bought my cat some wet food as a treat, and if I didnt have as much will power I would have sat down on the sofa with angork and ate it from the tin. Ob my God as soon as the lid came off i could smell it and all I wanted to do was eat it. I didn't care about my chicken in the oven, I just wanted the wet cat food.

I'm still thinking about the smell now, so good!

When do the cravings stop, or at least become less weird and annoying?

Tinned tuna might have been a reasonable substitute! How many weeks are you? I'm 22 weeks but haven't had any major cravings yet. Feel like I'm missing out although the thought of wanting to eat cat food turns my stomach!

@mrflibbleseyes

Me and my brother used to eat spoonfuls of wet cat food as children, when our parents weren't in the room lol.

I've always like the smell, but now it's like something I need to smell, and maybe even eat.. trying not to taste it is the hardest!
