I had a dream last night that DD and I went back to the Philippines and ate mangoes. Luzon mangoes from the Philippines are bright yellow and a little smaller than the garbage green ones here in the states (but a little bigger than the yellow honey ones that I've only seen twice at Publix since being back in the States) and they're the best.

Best meal you've had recently?
I love when we do Thai lettuce wraps and we did those on Tuesday.

Best meal ever?
DH & I went to Komi the night we got engaged

What are you craving?
Fresh Philippine mangoes

What food can you simply not eat now?
Green beans seem to make me gag which they never usually do

Best meal you've had recently? We had Indian a week or so ago. I was stuffed but could have kept eating.

Best meal ever? I'm not sure, but it was probably eaten at an outdoor cafe in Italy!

What are you craving? Pierogis! We're going to the Big E (big state fair) this weekend and so far, that's what I'm looking forward to the most.

What food can you simply not eat now? Nothing really, I'm lucky enough not to really get food aversions while KU.

So, thanks to heartbot, my Vietnamese food pregnancy cravings are raging now.

Yes. There is a Vietnamese food truck that parks outside the Trader Joe's often and I really want to get something there this weekend. My friend just told me about a Thai restaurant that serves good mangoes! Thinking about maybe trying to get some of the Manila girls together there!

Lots of Asian food fans on the board!

Best meal you've had recently? Pasta with my mom's sauce.

Best meal ever? Paella at Miss Lucy's in St. John, VI

What are you craving? Pasta

What food can you simply not eat now? Chili...same as last pregnancy. Also, weirdly, my own homemade bread, which is fabulous and I usually love.

Best meal you've had recently? Sushi, give me all the Philly rolls and miso soup. Also clearly not a person who thinks sushi is dangerous during pregnancy when you educate yourself about the risks. I only eat it from a sushi restaurant I worked at for years and I know their delivery schedule so I know when it's freshest. I'm also not loading up on shashimi anymore, but I'm not completely avoiding raw.

Best meal ever? Sushi

What are you craving? Anything super salty and life cereal.

What food can you simply not eat now? Mexican or steak

@pennygirl2013, DH loves Pho, I wasn't really on board for a while. I also didn't like Ramen much until we'd had it a few times while in Manila and now I love it! I find it way more comforting than chicken noodle &+also the spicy powder they have that you can add to Ramen is awesome. I need to step my Pho game up!

Mmmm, Vietnamese places make THE BEST tofu. I don't know what it is, but it's incredible.

Now I want vermicelli with tofu. And peanut sauce!

[None]

Best meal you've had recently? chicken rice soup that I made

Best meal ever? Shrimp from the gulf and New York strip steak with butter

What are you craving? Fresca and peanut m&ms also sour candy has been delicious

What food can you simply not eat now? Most things. Food has not gone great today. Meat has been big one.

Something that really surprised me as a FTM is how one cannot simply override their aversions. I really believed I could mentally override it and eat very balanced.

I have a friend who STILL gets sicks at the mere thought of pumpkins, after having a major aversion during her 2nd pregnancy. Her son turned 6 this past June. I bet she still wishes she could mentally override it, LOL!

Best meal you've had recently?
Nothing spectacular lately. My favorite was probably a month ago--a buffalo grilled chicken salad and fried mozzarella at our favorite local restaurant!

Best meal ever?
Toss up. There's a restaurant in Disney's Epcot where I had beer cheese soup, a beautiful filet, and cream cheese mashed potatoes. Amazing. And we went to Barclay Prime in Philly when we stayed there for our 10th anniversary. Garlic rolls, filet, Brussel sprouts and garlic mash. It was ridiculously expensive, but incredible!

What are you craving?
I crave pizza all day, everyday. And red meat. And brussel sprouts. And Nerds. Random.

What food can you simply not eat now?
Calamari and I aren't getting along. And I just get full really fast--so I feel like I eat lots of little meals.

Best meal you've had recently? I've been eating an embarrassing amount of fast food but I also had pho on Tuesday and it was yummy. Also tomatoe middle soup I made Sunday.
Best meal ever? I love my mom's roast and mashed potatoes.
What are you craving? Crackers and peanut butter
What food can you simply not eat now? Chicken. I think it's the texture.

[Deleted]

buttercup that's because chicken is gross.

I got an arepa outside of the TJ's with shredded beef and cheese. It's pretty good.

Best meal you've had recently? Not a meal but I got a blueberry fritter from the Amish market and oh.my.god. I was weak in the knees eating it

Best meal ever? Florence, Italy - sausage ravioli. The place was a little thing on a side street but it was awesome, and the waiter brand us over complimentary limoncello afterwards

What are you craving? random things - like, I'll see an instagram post of a food photo and I will have to have whatever that thing is NOW

What food can you simply not eat now? Steak.
