    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.

    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??


    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.

    Sticky toffee pudding and garden peas (not together though) I would literally just eat a tin of garden peas with either gravy or tomato ketchup then sticky toffee pud for afters.

    "Weird" cravings? None. But I always wanted Chinese food.

    Lol. I think she wins the weirdest craving.

    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.

    I highly suggest that nobody try to drink that much milk. I ended up with kidney stones.

    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.

    I craved cantaloupe something fierce in the middle of winter when I was pregnant with my daughter. I never did find it. I also craved fish and pasta ... with no fat whatsoever... with her and later on, mashed potatoes.

    When I was pregnant with my son, for the first trimester, the only three things I could eat were Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and strawberries.

    Lol. You would get along great with the person who craves tires.

    Not trying to make fun or or judge, just find it funny.

    I had really bad aversions and morning sickness until about 5 months then I just wanted Manhattan clamp chowder for a few weeks. But for my entire pregnancy I craved ice. I ate bowls of it like a meal. I especially lovedd the crushed ice from 7-Eleven. Found out my iron was low and once I started taking supplements it went away. Otherwise I wish I did because I didn't really eat a lot. I missed out...lol

    Oh, how could I forget this one! With my daughter towards the end, it was the hottest summer and I was so uncomfortable. I made popsicles with Welch's frozen concentrate. And snow cones. And more popsicles. And more snow cones. My lips and tongue were always purple. I couldn't get enough of the stuff.

    I had tons of morning sickness, but bizarrely, i desperately craved homemade chips with melted cheddar cheese and piles of jalapeños. But it had to be already made, had to be homemade chips that were still a little greasy, and so many jalapeños that I could barely see the cheese and chips underneath. This local place made them like this, and I would come in every day for a few weeks to get some.

    But trying to make them myself didn't work. If I saw or smelled uncooked cheese, or chips from a bag, I would get so nauseated I would vomit. Heck, I would vomit from saltines. But this mass of corn, grease, and spiciness was perfectly fine. So funny. :-)

    Nothing weird but I craved spaghetti all the time and probably ate it 5 days a week. I would plan something else for dinner and then call my husband as I left work to ask "How does spaghetti sound for dinner?" Fortunately he likes spaghetti.

    A relative craved KFC coleslaw during her pregnancy. Her husband joked about stopping at KFC for a bucket of coleslaw for his wife.

    My aversion was the smell of Subway restaurants.

    Too funny - I could only gag down Subway plain turkey sandwich on white bread. And Denny's mashed potatoes. No other brands of sandwich or potatoes, or the smell of any other food, really. Probably why we only have one child.

    Watermelon ...cold watermelon was my craving. My pregnancy was quite boring as I craved fruit. Lol.

    I couldn't stand the smell of eggs though which I love. Couldn't drink plain water either as it made me nauseous so I used to put citrus in it ...lime, lemon or orange wedges for flavour or herbal and fruit teas.
