What foods do you crave that you didn't before MFP?

Am curious what foods people hang-out-for that before starting MFP you could easily pass-up?
Mine: bacon and peanut butter!
I work some into my daily cals at least twice a week - think perhaps it's the salt and fat that I love :)

    You're welcome.

    For me? French toast. Gluten-free toast just doesn't taste the same. :'(

    Almond butter - I have not had bread in my house for 18 months - still manage to go through a jar of almond better each month ;-)
    Blueberries, yoghurt

    Now I know fats are GOOD it would have to be Peanut Butter. Hadn't touched the stuff for at least ten years and now I have a teaspoon everyday. Am just pleased that my internal handbrake is quite strong

    I always liked bacon but now I adore it and I find myself getting very picky when it comes to my Bacon, right now this is my personal preference.

    I find myself craving soft white bread. Haven't eaten it for years, now I have some every week. Have no idea why I suddenly want it now. Especially as a bacon sandwich. Mmmmm!

    Potato chips, walnuts and dark chocolate. I never used to eat any of those things. My doctor and I discovered that I have gluten and dairy sensitivities, so I can't eat a lot of the snacks I used to eat.

    I replaced crackers and bread with corn tortillas and potato chips (within my calories so it's all good.) I eat dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate because I can get dairy free versions of dark chocolate and I can eat less dark chocolate (because it's so strong) and still satisfy my cravings. The walnuts I added because they help me get all my calories and fats since eliminating dairy made it hard for me to get it all in.

    Fresh spinach, lightly steamed with BUTTER...I think the spinach is just an excuse for the butter.

    It's funny that so many have mentioned peanut butter! I probably had peanut butter once in the last 5 years. I just didn't really care for it. Now I've had it on celery or breadsticks for the last 5 days! Even bought my own jar of super crunchy. I have tried to find something with fewer carbs since I'm T2 Diabetic and I think peanut butter's intense taste (sweet and salty) kind of satisfies me more than many other foods.

    I've always been a huge fan of peanut butter but as far as veggies go I have to have my broccoli and brussel sprouts fix on a regular basis.

    Have to agree with all the peanut butter responses, I've had more peanut butter in the past 3 months on MFP than in the past 10 years! I love it with bananas, or on Ryevita or a Corn Cake.

    Have also been eating and craving lots of eggs, I love them poached with wilted spinach and a little reduced fat Salad Cream or soft boiled.

    Also can't get enough on balsamic vinegar on salads..yum yum!

    I make most foods that I want and incorporate most things into my day when fancy, I just cook them, pizza, cakes, pasta bakes, curries. But I do miss real coffee, I'm on decaf but I LOVE proper coffee xx

    coffe, wholemeal pitta bread, and greek yogurt with chopped almonds and runny honey, but can't face mayo (except pre-made in subway) or cottage cheese now - strange

    Tomatoes! I haven't eaten them in 30+ years and now I buy them all the time. Mostly the grape or cocktail tomatoes.

    Well, honestly, I am craving junk food like you wouldn't believe!

    Cookies, cheesecake, brownies, chinese takeout, PIZZA...

    I was always so relaxed about eating these things before MFP that I didn't realize how much I would miss them.. And believe me, I do!

    Roasted brussel sprouts, could eat them daily...some weeks 3-5 times. My husband and 7 year old have sort of joined me, I cannot sleep at night if ther are not some waiting in the fridge.

    Yessss.. Peanut Butter! I never really cared for it growing up, then I went to America for a month and came home craving it like crazy! Also dried fruit such as cranberries (also something I brought home from the states).. But most of all muffins, cakes and ice cream! All of which I greatly disliked until not being 'allowed' to eat them.. Did I mention that after loosing nearly 20 pounds before my trip, I had to re-lose around half of it when I got home?!
