What are your strangest food cravings?

[Genna14]

In my life, I've been on and off the BC pills since I was in my teens. They gave me the most normal of cravings, but off them I crave the strangest stuff.

I just read this article (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23186776/) on MSNBC.com about just that.

Some of my random and strange cravings are......

Pizza and ranch dressing
Warm apples with melted chedder cheese
Cream cheese sandwich with sliced pickles on top
Cottage cheese on top of BBQ chips
Rice with Tabasco sauce
Vinegar

So what do you guys crave?

[RevZeek]

I like potato chips with ketchup

Fresh cucumbers in vinegar

[jesus loves me]

Potato chips with hot sauce. There are other things I just can't remember right now.

[NurseBettyLu]

Potato chip sandwich. Don't knock it till you try it.

[jesus loves me]

Potato chip sandwich. Don't knock it till you try it. Ooh, you just gave me a lovely idea!

[NurseBettyLu]

Mayo on one bread, ketchup on the other. Crush chips lightly. Oh, another one! Open a coke, drink several swallows out of it, then fill the bottle with salted peanuts. Eat and drink at the same time.

T.hanks for the instructions! Tomorrow that shall be in the house. I think I have heard of the coke and peanut thing. I like the 'fill the bottle' part!

[elby65]

I'm okay with the potato chip sandwich, but drives my husband bonkers is when I eat what he calls "hillbilly sandwiches" - bread, butter, tomato and onion! YUM!

[pamcharlie]

Oh the strangest food craving i have had is steak and cheese

[NurseBettyLu]

I'm okay with the potato chip sandwich, but drives my husband bonkers is when I eat what he calls "hillbilly sandwiches" - bread, butter, tomato and onion! YUM!

Yummers! Try fresh vine-ripened tomatoes, thick sliced, generous mayo on both breads, salt and pepper to taste. So messy they have to be eaten over the sink.

[Genna14]

Oh the strangest food craving i have had is steak and cheese
Steak and cheese isn't that random, they serve steak and cheese burritos at like every Mexican dive you can imagine around here!


Forgot to mention, it may not be all that bad but.....Every time I have a chocolate shake or a Frosty, I massively crave Wendy's french fries to dip in it. YUM!

[Mandy Robbins]

Ruby red grapefruit wedges with pickled okra and cottage cheese.

[ausgirl]

I like plain potato chips and plain milk chocolate together.

[Aussie3rddayfan]

This is not a craving but...

I am told I am weird. In the summer, I might sometimes pull out a piece of frozen bread, put some Vegimite on it, and then eat it. :eek:

I have only ever met one other person who does so.

Anyone else?

[Gaudete]

Potato chips and dip. My dip of choice? Ice cream. mmmmmmmm

[RevZeek]

A coke with peanuts...a southern tradition! :D

[NurseBettyLu]

Made the White Trash Cookbook. No kidding, a real cookbook. I own both volumes. If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'.

[jesus loves me]

Loved the potato chip sandwich. The mentioned cookbooks sound delish.

[NurseBettyLu]

It's the only place I could find the original recipe for Holy Scripture Cake.

[jesus loves me]

It's the only place I could find the original recipe for Holy Scripture Cake. OK, NEVER heard of it. Describe please - sounds like something even Pam may want to make!

[NurseBettyLu]

The ingredients are found in Bible verses, and only the Bible refences are listed in the recipe. So to find out what to put in the cake you have to look up the verse. A fun youth group or VBS project. Let me see if I can find the book and I'll try to post it later.

[jesus loves me]

If you find that and can post it I know a lot of people that would be interested in that for church.

[elby65]

Ruby red grapefruit wedges with pickled okra and cottage cheese.

That is not only strange, i think it borders on being sick!:eek: LOL! Actually, the grapefruit and the cottage cheese would be good together, but adding okra ruins it for me. I can't stand the stuff!

[Genna14]

Potato chips and dip. My dip of choice? Ice cream. mmmmmmmm

That seems to be a pretty popular one, actually. I think the notion of sweet and salty is a very appealing one. I would probably try this! With chocolate ice cream or cookies' n' cream

Somehow, I easily believe that.

Sounds fun to make!

[The Unknown Gomer]

Am I the only one who never really craves weird stuff? Just the standard stuff, chocolate, or if not chocolate, then just sugar in general.

Usually if I have a case of the munchies, what I eat is pretty much based on what we happen to have in the house at the time. Although that CAN make for some odd combos, on occasion, I guess.

Case in point, I kept dozing off while I was watching those two new game shows last night, Wipeout and Japanese Game Show, so to stay awake I started snacking.

Started with a bowl of dry Cinnamon Life cereal as an appetizer, moved on to a handful of dry roasted peanuts, and finished up with a couple of pieces of beef jerky. With a lukewarm coffee chaser. :eek: :D

Wasn't actually craving any of it, but it just worked out that that's what was handy. And it did keep me awake. :P

I know it sounds bad, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, I worked in the hospital and they would make that for me every morning, and once a week they would make me a little bowl of chocolate gravy to go with it.

[elby65]

Chocolate gravy?!?! Oh my. I WANT TO GO TO THAT HOSPITAL the next time I'm sick. Of course, if I actually ate any okra, that would probably be enough to send me there! LOL

[Genna14]

Hey don't diss the okra!

[NurseBettyLu]

I love okra! Rolled in cornmeal and deep-fried. Okay, not exactly health food, but mmmmmmmm. Add ketchup. Even better. And according to the Mobile County school system, ketchup is a vegetable, so there you go. Healthy.

[Genna14]

Fried orka and ranch!

[NurseBettyLu]

Have to try that. But I loooooove ketchup. Ketchup good with deep fried chicken livers. Okay, now I really am showing my white trash roots, aren't I?

[Genna14]

We knew already Beth darling.

[The Unknown Gomer]

Have to try that. But I loooooove ketchup. Ketchup good with deep fried chicken livers. Okay, now I really am showing my white trash roots, aren't I?

Yum! Chicken livers! I love to go to BBQ Lodge and get a combo plate with half pork bbq and half chicken livers. Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm... tasty! :cool:

[NurseBettyLu]

We knew already Beth darling.

YES!!! There are kitchen appliances on my front porch and I'm proud of it!!!!

[Genna14]

Yum! Chicken livers! I love to go to BBQ Lodge and get a combo plate with half pork bbq and half chicken livers. Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm... tasty! :cool:

EW! Chicken liver is catfish bait!



YES!!! There are kitchen appliances on my front porch and I'm proud of it!!!!


Why do I believe this? What is it about you that screams REDNECK?

[NurseBettyLu]

Why do I believe this? What is it about you that screams REDNECK?

Could it be the car on blocks in my side yard? The pink flamingo next to my mailbox? And here I thought I was being subtle...

[jesus loves me]

Have to try that. But I loooooove ketchup. Ketchup good with deep fried chicken livers. Okay, now I really am showing my white trash roots, aren't I?Deep fried chicken livers yes, ketchup on them NO!

[NurseBettyLu]

Oh, yesyesyesyesyesyes. Ketchup on everything.

[jesus loves me]

On fried green tomatoes too????

[NurseBettyLu]

No, hot sauce on those.

[jesus loves me]

No, hot sauce on those.LOL!!!

[NurseBettyLu]

But I really like hot sauce on my fried green tomatoes...

[jesus loves me]

That is something that I will NOT be trying - ever. Hot sauce on my potato chips is an entirely different story.

[Genna14]

Could it be the car on blocks in my side yard? The pink flamingo next to my mailbox? And here I thought I was being subtle...

And they call ME a redneck because I used to dip and I love NASCAR...



But I really like hot sauce on my fried green tomatoes...

Fried green tomatoes are perfect all alone. How can you ruin the flavor with sauces?

[NurseBettyLu]

You don't know what you're missing. Anything on potato chips is good.

[jesus loves me]

That's what I don't understand - how can you do a thing to fried green tomatoes?????

[Genna14]

My point exactly. Why waste a darn good fried green tomato by dousing it in sauces??

[NurseBettyLu]

Don't douse. Just sprinkle.

[jesus loves me]

Don't douse. Just sprinkle. Well, that sounds a LITTLE better - but not much. They still should be left ALONE.

[Genna14]

Well, that sounds a LITTLE better - but not much. They still should be left ALONE.
I am in total agreement. All those who agree with us, raise your *naked* fried freen tomato and say "AYE!"

[jesus loves me]

[elby65]

AYE! Fried green tomatoes need NOTHING! Of course, my husband thinks those are more "hillbilly food". I can't help it. My mother was raised in Union, SC. Just because I was raised in Chicago doesn't mean I ain't half hillbilly!

[Jason]

*never had fried green tomatoes*

My thing ... I put cayenne pepper on almost all my vegetables.

It also gives a little kick to a bowl of popcorn. In moderation. With a big glass of coke on the side. :)

Popcorn is a vegetable.

They are a hillbilly food. I never knew anyone who ever made them except my ex bf's grandma who was born and raised in a cabin in West Virginia.

But they're still awesome.

[NurseBettyLu]

My gramma made the finest fried green tomatoes anywhere. No need to add anything. There was a kick to 'em, and she never wrote down a recipe. That's why I add a little hot sauce, that's the only way I can make 'em taste like gramma's.

[elby65]

I add hot sauce to the eggs. Dip the thick green tomato slices in the seasoned egg, then in yellow corn meal mixed with a little salt. Fry in hot oil and when they are golden, brown and delicious, ENJOY! YUMMY!!!

[NurseBettyLu]

I'll try that. Gramma never wrote down recipes, so you kinda have to play detective.

[jesus loves me]

[NurseBettyLu]

Tried that. Ends up tasting sorta scorched. Gonna try seasoning the eggs.

[jesus loves me]

Tried that. Ends up tasting sorta scorched. Gonna try seasoning the eggs. let me know if y'all like that. if i find green ones this year i'll try that.

[NurseBettyLu]

Come on down. Jimmy Lowe's always has a good supply of green tomatoes during season.

[jesus loves me]

Come on down. Jimmy Lowe's always has a good supply of green tomatoes during season. you're making my mouth water 'checks greyhound schedule'.

[elby65]

I get mine at the local farmer's market. They are wonderful. My husband may call fried green tomatos "hillbilly food" but he does eat them. Of course, he'll eat just about anything that's fried. Except brussel sprouts.

[Gomer Boy]

1. pbj with chips inside
2. chicken nuggets dipped in apple sauce

[NurseBettyLu]

Weiners and cheese wrapped in flour tortillas.

[Gomer Boy]

Weiners and cheese wrapped in flour tortillas.
I eat those all the time!:D Aren't they called Pigs In A Blanket?

[jesus loves me]

That soundr do-able. i learned to drink dill pickle juice from my dad.

[NurseBettyLu]

I eat those all the time!:D Aren't they called Pigs In A Blanket?

Call 'em whatever you like. I always thought of pigs in blankets as sausages in pancakes, and especially since I use turkey weiners...hmm, turkeys in blankets?

[elby65]

Oh well, I only eat kosher weiners, and no cheese with em. But I do roll them in tortillas. Add onions and relish and a good squeeze of mustard. Just got done eating one, as a matter of fact. Mmmmmmm. Yummy!

[NurseBettyLu]

Sometimes when nobody is looking I eat ketchup straight out of the bottle.:eek: :eek: :eek:

[elby65]

Reminds me of the commercial a few years back for, I think, Heinz ketchup. Jimmy's favorite thing to put ketchup on was...Jimmy!!!!! LOL

[jesus loves me]

Sometimes when nobody is looking I eat ketchup straight out of the bottle.:eek: :eek: :eek: spicy mustard and hot pepper paste for me.

[NurseBettyLu]

So I'm not as deranged as I thought. Or at least I have plenty of company.

[jesus loves me]

So I'm not as deranged as I thought. Or at least I have plenty of company. you're deranged - you just have plenty of company!

[NurseBettyLu]

I suspected as much.
