You always hear people talk about odd and unusual cravings while pregnant such as "ice cream and pickles."
I want to know if you had any strong cravings. My mom and at least one of her sisters both craved pineapple chunks when they were pregnant.
Did you crave any unusual food pairings that you wouldn't normally combine if you weren't pregnant?

At first I just craved the food that I saw other people eating. At 21 weeks I do have two cravings, though I don't think they are weird, but I didn't eat them as much as I do now: Cream of Wheat and collard greens, but NOT together. I eat one or both of them every day.

Italian Ice. I have mini panic attacks when the grocery store is out of the flavors I like (I think I buy them all, lol). I usually eat two of them a day, lol.
I don't crave vegetables, but once I eat one serving I don't want to stop. I can eat a family sized bag of green beans or broccoli every night, lol.
What's weird is normally I can't get enough ice cream, but now I don't really like it. It's too heavy, almost. If I start eating ice cream I end up just wanting Italian Ice, lol.

@Navy_Mommy: We have an Italian Ice stand in our neighborhood. Their flavors are so awesome! I always look forward to their spring opening each year.

Pillsbury toaster struedel. I'd had one once about 10 years ago, but for some reason when I was pregnant I wanted one pretty much every day.

During my first trimester I couldn't get enough watermelon and now in my second I love tabasco and sriracha. I wonder what I will crave in my third trimester?

I eat weird food combos as it is. I can't wait to see how much weirder it can get when I actually get pregnant!

Spicy foods - if dinner wasn't spicy it was hard for me to eat.
Snowballs, but not italian ice, Rita's was disappointing, it had to be a read snowball
Juice, juice and more juice.

It's so boring but true. I just craved fruit. Nothing fun like ice cream and pickles!
