So, what has been your weirdest food craving?

I am having a super weird and intense craving for vinegar right now. I have no idea where it has come from (no I am not pregnant). I grossed out my husband by putting balsamic vinegar on my scrambled eggs this morning. I grossed out my coworkers yesterday by eating raw beets and carrots soaked in vinegar for a snack. I am going to have to start eating alone if this keeps up. LOL

    I woke up this morning with cotton mouth and craving a chocolate Frosty from Wendy's. I think I had a Frosty once and it was when I was around 10. I remember it tasting good. Not sure why I craved this instead of good ol' water or a banana/mango smoothie (which I have all the ingredients for).

    I am with you, OP... but it’s not weird - it’s normal for me these days. For the last couple months, I want to eat all things pickled! Beets, okra, green beans, asparagus, brussel sprouts, etc. can’t get enough!

    For the record, the love is so real, I actually just sent in a hair sample for a nutrition assessment to ensure I am not missing some key nutrient that caused this craving. Not complaining though - low calorie and I have quite a variety of vegetables to choose from since I now know how to “pickle” my own food.

    Long John Silvers fish. I find it kind of gross, honestly, but I crave it about once a year and MUST have it.

    I crave "crunchy" a lot. It doesn't matter where the crunch comes from...

    My weird one this week is boiled eggs. It's normal thing for me for breakfast, but kind of plain. For some reason I have even been dreaming about them at night! It is like I want to eat 6 boiled eggs at one time (I don't, but I could!). I've previously had a taste for them and/or deviled eggs if it had been a while since I ate one, but not a craving like this time.

    @sofchak I am glad I am not the only one! I found myself googling nutritional deficiencies and vinegar cravings the other day. FYI - it’s not a thing. I guess I will have to continue grossing everyone out. LOL

    I've been on a ridiculous potato kick lately. I've never been big on them though they've always been ok on the side of steak maybe.

    I'm wondering if it's not because I've really cut back on pasta and rice which used to be pretty big staples with dinner.

    This is my teen daughter right now. She enjoys salad well enough but she recently had her wisdom teeth out and salad is very difficult to eat because it gets stuck in the holes and has lots of "pokey" stuff.

    So the last several days she's been fantasizing about having a huge salad with everything but the kitchen sink in it.
