Do you ever get cravings? I mean specific cravings. For specific foods and/or combinations. I do. All the time. And they are VERY specific. If I don't satisfy that particular craving for that specific thing--like trying to substitute with something close--then I still crave it.
I used to get asked if I was pregnant when I would voice a specific craving. No, I'm not. In fact, when I was pregnant, I DIDN'T have specific cravings--because I craved EVERYTHING! I've learned not to voice my cravings so much anymore--at least around non-family members--because I always get strange looks, and "the question." But I'll share them with you because I know you won't give me funny looks.
Some of the things I crave that are very specific are: grits with butter and Tobasco, peanut butter and pickle sandwich, french fries with seasalt and malt vinegar, broiled chicken breast on a wheat bun with mustard and pickles, crab legs with a dip of lemon, thyme, and real butter (not that oily stuff they call butter). Oh, and don't forget cottage cheese with Nacho Cheese Dorito's as a spoon. This morning it was Maple Nut ice cream. And the list goes on.
I also like hot sauce on just about everything. But I need specific hot sauces for specific things like Tobasco on the eggs, but Tapatio on nachos or chips or chili (yes, I put hot sauce on my chili), or salsa on my tacos.
What are some of your specific cravings? I'd love to hear about them because I'm always willing to try new things, and, who knows, maybe I can add to my list after trying some of yours! I'll be waiting to hear...
