Stereotype much?

My H went to the store tonight grocery shopping and bought pickles in case I wanted them. They sound awful right now though.

That (his thought process, at the least) seems pretty adorable. #beprepared

[thepax89]

What brand?

I'm only wanting claussen pickles. And only the mini ones. Slices/spear shapes won't work.

mine did the same the other day. It was adorable. And it wasn't a craving but they were delicious...

[youdontsay]

I made MH go to McDonald's and buy me a holiday pie. He asked what it tasted like, I told him it tasted like the color yellow.

Apparently I fell asleep yesterday with it only half-eaten in my hand!

[youdontsay]

Also have any of the pickle cravers here tried pickle dip? It's the best thing ever!

[dc2london]

With DS2 I suddenly HAD to have pretzel crusted fried pickles one day

[liljackjack]

I always love a good deli pickle from the barrel. So far though, no food sounds very appealing lol

I need to stop watching BBC bc I keep wanting to go to the chip shop but then I realize the nearest one is 15 minutes away

Is that where they will deep fry anything? I saw on food network once that they opened one in Brooklyn NY and they would deep fry pizza, candy bars, anything you wanted! It had British flags all over so I have no idea if it's like a chain in England or if this guy just ripped off the name lol

Not a chain, just a generic name for tiny places that make fish and chips dirt cheap and usually sell it wrapped in newsprint or parchment. They usually sell crisps and sweets too, and sone of them do other fried goodies like sausages or Mars bars

[musicgirl]

I haven't craved pickles specifically, but when I had Subway I made them put a lot on and they tasted delish.

No real actual cravings yet. Although I did kind of want sushi last Friday.

Nope, I don't live there (if I did, the chip shop would be closer!!) And not from there. Just spent enough time there to be wistful

Update: I bought some pickles. I ate like 4. I can't decide if I want more. But it would be ridiculous to eat a whole jar of pickles in one day, right?

That's a looooooot of salt. It's the only thing that'd steer me away from a whole jar. ...if I ate pickles.

And salt is... Bad?

[gratefulgirl]

The only thing I have ever craved in pregnancy is sugar and steak.

[youdontsay]

My boss brought in cookies and the thought of putting one in my mouth grossed me out.

Give me all the salty snacks!

dc2london the closest chip shop to me is an hour away, I would rather drive 15 minutes!

Too much is! Salt increases your blood pressure. We have a love-hate relationship.

[kat1828]

Nothing sounds good to me these days, but I did have a huge craving for pickles last week. Soooo good!

I miss food so much. I have to force myself to eat at all. Sad panda! I asked DH to buy me ice cream last week. I served myself a huge bowl, and I ended up choking it down like it was gruel. What the heck? I've never not wanted ice cream in my entire life.

I ate six dill spears Thursday night. I glanced at the salt but damn, a little extra salt one day vs vomiting... MOAR pickles. I told my hubs that I'm such a cliche right now.

Lately sweets send me to nausea. It's sad.

Pickle salt is electrolites!  Doesn't count the same way.  #supporjarofpickleconsumption

Did you guys know there is PICKLE FLAVORED POPCORN at Trader Joe's right now???

It's my life along with their nacho cheese tortilla chips.

Real talk tho - I am having no cravings, no food aversions, and no actual symptoms beyond tiredness, insane bloating and a bit of cramping. This is so different from my first pregnancy, where I had to lie down all the time in the specially crafted "nap pad" I built in the corner of my office, gagged repeatedly at the scent of anyone cooking anything in the microwave, and could only eat oatmeal.

I feel like your last pregnancy description is me most of the time.  They say every pregnancy is different though

[coffeequeen14]

For my first pregnancy I could only eat fried food, buttered or "juiced" as in drenched in pickle juice. After a week of bringing this to work my coworker called me out for being pregnant.
