Haribo Tangfastics and bags and bags of Opal Fruits (Starbrst) when pregnant with dd. While I was out on site (still working) would munch my way through a whole family bag in one journey).

Ice lollies, particularly at about 3.00 in the morning!! That was 4.5 years ago and I haven't touched one since DS was born!

Fig rolls and chocolate milkshake together, yum.

Kentuky Fried Chicken, chicken gravy with chips. Even made dh stop on the M25 so that I could have my gravy fix!!!!

cheese sandwiches - had to be tesco value cheese and real butter - with a bowl of cornflakes to dip it in!

With both of mine I have craved fishy things - mackerel and smoked salmon. The smoked salmon was particularly bad the second time round, and it was just getting too expensive!

mothernature · 02/11/2004 12:01

Prawns & soft cheese on french bread, soda bread and strawberry jam.

Angeliz · 02/11/2004 12:07

mmmmmmmmm, soda bread and jam, or potatocakes with a slice of cheddar inbetween two zapped in the mocrowave for a few seconds.........

smellymelly · 02/11/2004 12:16

I also like smoked salmon and mango, or king prawns and grapes, it is very expensive.

Thankfully dh understands cravings!

spacemonkey · 02/11/2004 12:18

green apples

my mum craved soft coal

motherinferior · 02/11/2004 12:27

I just thought about gin for nine months.

woodpops · 02/11/2004 12:31

I was desperate for crusty bread and pate.

Used to love pringles but when pregnant with ds the smell of pringles made me physically sick. Still can't eat them now!!!

bundle · 02/11/2004 12:31

mostly things i couldn't have; runny brie and soft boiled eggs

but strangely, not alcohol

vimptohead · 02/11/2004 13:19

i know someone who eats toothpaste o toast, ice lollies with a stripe of toothpaste down the middle, u name it and she puts toothpaste with it, shes been like that with all 3!! Mind you, at least she never had bad breath!

Potato wedges with heaps and heaps of sour cream & chive sauce mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

And like alot of people stodge - bread, pasta, but sweet stodge too - applie pies, crumbles, bread & butter pudding - and ice cream, but one bowl is never enough.

Bundle, not having alcohol didn't bother me either. In fact the smell of alcohol made me physically sick so I couldn't even go into a pub when I was pregnant!!!!

msann · 02/11/2004 13:43

i ate spicy tortilla chips..... not so bad eh?.....but the urge to eat them with grapes makes it bad....

Angeliz · 02/11/2004 13:46

i still enjoy the odd glass of wine but find my body actually 'tells' me when not! I usually like a glass on a Saturday night watching pop idol but this week made a cup of tea instead.
My dp is a great beleiver in listening to your body!

When I'm breast feeding I can't get enough Plain Terry's chocolate Orange, and pate...together!!

Cam · 02/11/2004 17:36

1st time: rice krispies (had to have them for breakfast every day)
2nd time: spinach (had to have it for lunch every day, often with eggs)

Don't think I've eaten rice krispies or spinach since.

LadyPenelope · 03/11/2004 13:54

When pregnant with DD, corned beef and piccalilly sandwiches as my favorite snack (But haven't eaten them in last 3.5 years since she arrived!) And ate broccilli with every meal
This time around... parma ham (which I'm not meant to eat) and salty things (chips, crisps etc.)

Frizbe · 03/11/2004 20:48

Corned beef hash and seperately cinamon and raisen bagels!

hill · 04/11/2004 10:14

sour cabbage, straight out of the jar
