    With my first,(my daughter, almost 19 years ago) an aversion to red meat for the first four months or so just the smell of it made me want to hurl. I liked bagels w lox cream cheese, tomatoes and onion a lot.... AND had never had that before. It's weird, (she doesn't like red meat to this day)My second, (my son 16 years ago) I craved smoked oysters, and sardines in mustard sauce on saltines .I haven't eaten a sardine since... AND LOTS of red meat, and cheese. He made me sick when I Smelled chicken for awhile, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE chicken. He's still a big meat and cheese eater , and loves seafood...

    Sour jaw breakers...I could eat a whole bag in one sitting! I'd chew them till the sour was gone, then toss...my boxer Sadie would scoop it up and chew a little more! Good times...

    Edited to add, my 25 yr old daughter now has cravings for sour stuff too, as does my granddaughter!

    LOBSTER

    Yum! Although mybIb said no more than 1-2 servings of seafood a week.

    Yes, I probably shouldn't have had as much as I did. A shop selling $10 1-lb lobster with baked potato had just opened in my neighborhood, and I went several times a week. :o

    I loved cheesy dip and nacho chips. I usually don't eat that. What surprised me most during pregnancy was my food aversions. I hated beef gravy and mashed potatoes. I also hated beef stew.

    My new favorite dish is actually a cheese dip (ricotta, cheddar and mozzarella) with chips. Haha.

    Meat and milk. That was all I could eat. Every meal was basically a double cheeseburger with no bun and I drank 2 gallons of milk per week.

    Wow! I could never drink that much milk.

    My mom craved tires when she was pregnant with one of my sisters. Tires. Like, the rubber things that go round and round.

    Wait, what?!? Like chewing on them??

    Not mine, I've never been pregnant, but my cousin craved melons in the middle of winter last year. It was one of those things that we only get seasonally. Her poor husband spent the better part of the day searching from mall to mall to find ANY kind of melon. He finally did, it was 6x the price and it wasn't even ripe. She sprinkled some salt on it and ate it.

    What a good husband!

    Not me but my mom, she craved a specific type of food with me and my siblings and ate it everyday all day. With me she only craved spicy mexican food. She ate chimichangas and tacos chips and salsa literally everyday of her pregnancy.... guess what my favorite food is? Mexican and anything spicy.

    Nothing. I had aversions because I was so nauseated. Especially foods that do not come back up well. I couldn't eat rice again for years. Yuck.

    I lived on very cold iced tea mix for months.

    I can only drink things that are iced cold right now. Anything warm and I feel nauseous and bring it back up. Been sticking with decaf iced mix, Sprite Zero and diet rootbeer

    I had an intense craving for cold beer and a pear when I was near the end of my pregnancy. After a few days I ended up buying some O'Doul's and going to town.

    I also craved pinto beans once (weird because I loathe pinto beans), cooked an enormous pot of them, then didn't want them and left them to mold for two weeks because I couldn't face them. Pregnancy was a sexy, sexy time for me, I assure you.

    French fries with dill pickles and anything with jalapenos. I never liked jalapenos before pregnancy and now, 16 years later, I can't get enough of them.

    She said every time she drove by a mechanic or someplace with tires out front, she wanted to stop and take a bite out of one.

    Cobb salad and fruit by the foot
    I had never eaten an avocado before pregnancy and never a huge salad eater but I really wanted salad often.
    There were more foods I couldn't face eating than foods I craved. I went off pizza for awhile.

    Dd has grown up hating salad and vegetables. Loves fruit and candy though.

    Lol. I think she wins the weirdest craving.
