Silly Commuter Cravings

prj45

So, some of my recent cravings include:

Things I've gone off of now (thankfully):

Fried chicken (bones n'all).

Those pillow sized ring dougnuts with the white icing you get from independent sandwich shops (several times when my local had sold out I'd walk forlornly around looking for another supplier).

Baked beans (HP, whole can).

And my new cravings?

Tonic water or bitter lemon. I actually just went out in the rain to the local shops to get some after my ride today; I tried to resist but couldn't. Seriously considering finding an artery to inject it into, can't get enough of the stuff.

Marmite. About a quarter of a litre of the stuff on anything to hand that'll take it (crumpets, bagels, pieces of cardboard).

Entire packets of polos or other strong mints eaten in one go.

Is my body clever enough to know it needs these things, or am I just being greedy?

Peanut butter. Until a couple of months ago when I bought it for a recipe I didn't even know I liked it. Now a couple of crackers and peanut butter is a regular part of my diet.

Pringles. Once you pop, you can't stop.

And pretty much any other food that would be considered unhealthy.

Heh, occasionally I do the peanut butter, can get through half a jar on two bits of toast though.

BTW, do you put those fluffy dice on your bars whenever you're out for a ride?

Beef jerky, Just suddenly and very randomly love the stuff. :?

Ahhh... i remember the days when i needed to put peanut butter on something. I'm lucky if a jar lasts more than a couple of days at my place. Jar + Spoon and i'm happy.

I've been on a peanut butter on toast craving for he last 6 months, it crazyness the jars are like an anti-tardis, they empty so fast!

I've had a strange hankering for mustard recently. Normally I can't stand it, or I have the mildest but now, if it's not making my eyes water and robbing me of speech, there's not enough.

The only way to control it is to limit yourself to buying one jar every two weeks (you need to be strict with yourself),. That way, you have to make it last.

Anything I can get my hands on really, although normally I get cravings for cheese but that has gone away largely, anything savory though and it's gone if put in front of me.

Cafewanda

Recent cravings have been:

Angel cake
Lucozade original
Walkers crisps - plain

Now it's canned Guinness, regular or draft. I'm blaming the cycle challenge

Bunneh

Some very cheap Midget Gems from the local offy. Cornflakes, every time, all day, oh god I can't get enough of them! I used to hate tomatos now I can#t stop eating them either, along with a cucumber and a boiled egg.

prawny

Fig rolls, reeses peanut butter cups, crunchy nut cornflakes, cans of monster crap basically.

I generally get through a packet of fig rolls a week at least.

Also mixing peanut butter and chocolate spread is a cheap and easy way to satisfy a peanut butter cup craving the biggest spoon you can get in your mouth is the correct one.

bobgale67

Jaffa cakes, one pack lasts minutes, if its lucky!

I used to love peanut butter until I discovered how to make cashew butter and pistachio nut butter.

Gonna have to make some soon now.

Back on topic, post ride bottles of Cherry Coke. And | usually hate Coke.
