Do you ever crave foods you don't even like?

This happens to me every now and then. Right now I really want a BLT but I absolutely hate raw tomatoes. Does that ever happen to you? Sometimes when I'm craving something I don't normally like I will have it and be surprised that I did actually like it. Other times I still don't like it but at least the craving's put to rest! What kinds of strange things do you crave that you don't usually like? Do you give into the craving hoping you'll like the food or do you just try to ignore it? What kind of food do you crave the most?

Pretty much anytime I am trying to watch what I eat, I end up craving Raspberry Zingers. I have no idea why. I wouldn't say I hate them, but whenever I'm not dieting they are certainly not my first snack of choice... probably one of the last. I like them allright, but it's one of those I can take it or leave it sort of snacks. But oddly when I'm dieting I crave them like crazy, more than anything else! Although this time around I've not craved them at all, I guess that's a good thing!

What's a Raspberry Zinger?

It's like a twinkie, except the outside is a faint raspberry flavor, and it's coated with shaved coconut.

Mmmm, I would probably like that - even though I shouldn't! Why can't we ever crave something like carrot sticks? It always has to be the decadent little calorie bombs!

Are you having strange cravings, jesssp? Does this mean . . . well, I won't get too nosey - hee hee. I'm usually the type that likes most foods - I crave food period - hee hee. I have a high metabolism (which isn't necessarily a good thing), so I just end up hungry and will gladly gobble up anything put in front of me. Sometimes I will crave sweets . . . other times salty or spicy foods. I didn't have strange cravings with either pregnancy - but I will say that a frozen beef and bean burrito hit the spot quite often. I'm trying hard to think what food I truly don't like . . . nope, I don't think I'll ever crave liver - hee hee.

Haha, nope, there's no particular reason for any strange craving - especially THAT reason! I've found that I crave spicy foods a lot more now. Especially hot wings and stuff like that.

I don't like anything in a ruban. Not the bread, the sauce, the sauerkraut, the meat, but every once in a while I like one. For a short period of time, I liked sauerkraut.

Every now and then I really crave sauerkraut too and I don't usually like it. It's the same with horseradish, sometimes I just want to eat a spoonful of the stuff and I normally dislike it.

Not that I can ever recall... But then I like most foods.

I like most food too, I guess that's why it seems so strange to crave one of the few I don't.
