Cravings

27 Jul 2006

Ok i'm talking about the food type, and no, I'm not pregnant, (at least I don't think I am......)
but at the moment I have the biggest craving for some olives!!!!
I don't know why, I used to hate them up until this year, but I tried a few recently, thought they were ming but keep getting cravings for them.
The shops are too far, who will bring me some?!
Does anyone else get strange ones?Or do you eat any weird combinations?
I often get a craving for sour creme and onion pringles with mars bar at the same time, same mouthfulll, which is strange cos i'm not that keen on chocolate or crisps..................................................................................................
Ice cream is a different story and our freezer is always well stocked up........
ok, it's hot, finished work early, boredom..... and serious need for olives.....

I'd be up the chemist right away of I were you hunni :giggle:
I used to get cravings for ice cream in the middle of the night and sods law, I didn't want the ones we had ( fussy mare rolleyes

) These days my cravings come just before 'woman's week' and that usually involve chocolate. Sex cravings are there 24/7 :twisted:

i've got a touch of low back pain...
and someone said i was 'glowing' today.... :shock:

My food of the moment is Halloumi cheese confused

Can't get enough of the stuff, had it every day now for the past week for me dinner, heated and on top of a salad, a salad with sliced olives in too, can't seem to get enough of them either :?
I seem to think it's a healthy dinner cos it's called a 'salad', choosing to forget the calorie content of cheese and olives and only counting the lettuce n stuff :lol2:
Oh and a hangover, I crave crisps, but I think that might be the salt content, dehydration and all that. Also with choc milkshake biggrin

Personally I hate the things.
But there is a market stall on the Saturday market in my local town, that sells only olives and all different sorts / flavours etc, and is always busy, so you clearly are not alone in this craving
lol

OLIVES!!! GRRR!!! I WANT THEM!
But, mmmmmmm, halloumi cheese- it's gorgeous fried in a teeny bit oil, or grilled, then put on a little bit of cooked puff pastry, put that on some rocket leaves, covered in olive oil and balsamic, then with some roasted cherry tomatoes to top...yum yum!!!!

I know Sassy, two years ago I wouldnâ€™t eat one if you paid me. Then on an educational to Turkey after eating the same meal for five days solid I had some of the Olives just for a change :inlove: heaven!

I worked in spain for a while and had my first olives out there, couldnt get enough of them, since coming home i find the ones over here bad but they are so moreish !!
My cravings change like the weather, best thing to do is give in to them because its your bodies way of telling you that you desperately need something that is in that food group. wink

I lived in Rome and other bits of Italy for many years. The favoured way of eating spinach is to rinse, steam, chill in fridge, then serve with lemon juice and olive oil.
Never mind the taste (which is delicious): I defy anyone to not figure out what that texture reminds them of.
Popeye knew what he was doing!

:thumbup:
I absolutely love Halloumi grilled! And in this weather I eat a lot of salads, another perfect excuse for more Halloumi!
