    I just got the biggest craving for a vegetarian wrap that a place near my work makes so I beelined it down there - it wasn't even noon (lunchtime in Ireland is usually at 1 pm...) 

    Luckily no one got in my way - they would've been run over... Tongue out

    I also get cravings for things like a chocolate milkshake from McD's at random times...

    Honestly, I get lots of odd cravings at different times - am I the only one?  What food do you bees find yourselves craving?

    It depends how I'm feeling. After a long drunken night out I usually want bacon egg and cheese on a bagel. But normally I can't stomach something like that. I crave pasta with vodka sauce for dinner if I've gone too long without carbs. In the summer I usually crave sushi (the raw stuff, not the cooked eel and crab type rolls). I never crave sweets (GASP!) because I really dislike them, especially baked goods.

    I ALWAYS crave hot wings. They're my favorite.

    @moderndaisy: YES! Pasta and Vodka sauce and Hot wings!!!! I'm kinda the same as you with sweets. Although I LOVE them when I eat them, I try not to eat them often and I don't have any cravings for them what so ever. I can litterally go weeks without any sort of sugary food.

    My hubby craves ice cream though. Its nothing for him to run to the store at 11pm to grab ice cream for himself. Sometimes I wonder if I really am the man in our relationship! haha

    I am super super susceptible to tv commercials. Like I can not have a certain food for months or years and then all of a sudden I see a commercial and I have to have it! Thank God for dvr or I'd be 400 pounds.... lol. 

    I think my most frequent craving is chocolate. I definitely think I have a sugar addiction because I feel like I *have* to have some kind of chocolate every night after dinner.

    I always crave the things that are worst for me, such as: crispy bacon, macaroni and cheese, and cheeseburgers. Oh, and sushi too (though I know that's not bad for you), and mashed potatoes. I also don't usually crave sweets! I will eat baked goods but I rarely crave them--except for zucchini bread every once in a while.

    Hahaha! I love that you posted this.

    Yesterday I felt like a crazy person (like one who would lock themself in the bathroom with a bucket of chicken) because on my way home from work I decided I HAD TO HAVE a taco. So I picked one up and stuffed the entire thing in my mouth on my drive home. It seriously tasted like the best thing ever at that moment. I threw the bag away outside and then I still had to eat dinner with my husband. :)

    I think it might be because I have a little bit of nausea right now so if anything sounds good to me I'll eat it, since so many things don't. But even normally if I get fixated on something then pretty soon after I decide I have to have it (Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, sandwiches with lots of lettuce, Chick-Fil-A french fries, Mexican food, cupcakes).

    @camrie:haha fellow pregnant bee! We had taco bell the other night and I got that new XXL Chalupa thingy. O.M.G it was heaven in my mouth! Something about tacos and pregnancy....they go together like peanut butter and jelly. (Which I also LOVE!)

    @CorgiTales - I am so easily influenced food-wise too - I can see something on TV or read something in one of the food blogs I follow and get obsessed - like watch out!

    @moderndaisy - thanks to you I'm now craving hot wings - not fun since they're hard to find in Ireland!

    Yesterday I was craving spicy chicken nuggets from Wendy's.  YES! They were so, so good.  I don't really crave too much food, just every once in a while the thought of something sounds really, really good and I dwell and think about it until I have it.  LOL.

    Aaaaaanything with melted cheese. Seriously. I've microwaved crackers with cheese, bagels with cheese, tortilla wraps with cheese, bread with cheese, popcorn with cheese...anything carby and cheesy is always delish. Sometimes I really crave guac and chips, but that's not really that weird...

    I get those melted cheese cravings, too!  It's not a specific food I crave, just lots and lots of cheese.

    So I've craved some weiiiiird stuff.  Pickles and peanut butter (it tasted good at the moment and then I had a stomach ache).  I usually crave french fries and chocolate right before my period.  Sometimes I'll crave a jimmie john's sandwich even though they put waaaay to much mayonnaise on them.  Whenever I go out to eat and have fries with my meal, I ask for honey mustard to dip them in.

    My dad used to love peanut butter and miracle whip sandwiches on toast.

    Right now, I'm craving Logan's or O'Charley's Rolls and some onion petals with onion horseradish sauce.

    I randomly get cravings for a Wendy's Vanilla Frosty. Or just vanilla soft serve. There's something about vanilla soft serve that is ten times better than just regular vanilla ice cream.

    I've been having bad cravings for Mimi's Cafe french onion soup...mmmmm

    I was also craving flan (who craves that?! So weird), so I made some & it came out pretty decent; it was good enough to take my craving away.

    DH laughs at me because if we're going to go out to eat he'll ask me what I feel like having and instead of saying something like 'italian' or 'chinese' I'll say something like - I feel like having shrimp.

    He thinks I'm a loony toon.  But he indulges me!

    I crave things like subway sandwhiches and wawa subs. I crave fried pickles and famous daves. I crave hardboiled eggs with franks red hot. I crave mac and cheese mixed with ketchup. I crave oranges and apples mixed with franks red hot. Right before my period I crave chocolate (that's the only time). I don't usually crave sweets until right before my cycle. I crave fast food when ovulating (weirdd).

    i'm so hungry reading this!  I get cravings for bread a lot which i guess is weird.  i always always always want it but obviously have to watch how much i actually eat.  carbs are my fave!  i love a good crusty bread with some olive oil and salt soooo much.  i also crave the other obvious stuff like pizza, french fries etc.  i love sweets but tend to crave savory stuff.  why can't i crave salmon and broccoli ever?  it's always the bad stuff!  

    another weirdish one is when i was little, my mom used to make me aparagus on toast with a little salt and pepper.  sometimes i crave that.

    They're sooo good! I'd recommend them with blue cheese dressing or ranch, but they're good alone too. Sadly I don't have either types of dressing in the house.

    I have a massive craving for some Vietnamese food.  A big, steaming bowl of pho (beef noodle soup) sounds so yummy on a cold, rainy day like today.

    I LOVE spicey food. And fajitas... which I often add LOTS of spice to. We joke in my family that my parents put tobasco in our bottles when we were babies. My poor FI is a spice wimp though. I swear pepper lights his tongue on fire. So I don't get it much but when I do... I am in heaven.
