Yesterday I had an undeniable craving for potato salad, to the point where I actually bought a little container of it at Whole Foods and ate some.
This is weird because I hate potato salad. I hate all of the deli “salad” family – macaroni, cole slaw and **shudder** egg. I think mayonnaise is the devil’s own condiment. I don't even like to look at mayonnaise! Back before I was a vegetarian, my hatred extended to tuna salad and chicken salad too. I even went so far as to invent a tuna salad made with Dijon mustard, lemon and capers so that I didn’t have to eat mayo. That’s why it’s extra ironic when I get the “can’t you just eat the tuna?” question now, since no, I can’t. But even if I did eat seafood, tuna salad would be right out.
Now I’m a big believer in the “your body craves what you need” school of thought, unless, of course I’m craving obvious junk food cheese fries and chocolate cake. But I’m pretty sure there’s no special nutrients in potato salad!
I know it is a long shot, but any chance you have gone and gotten yourself knocked up? Just sayin' with the sudden mayonnaise craving....
Word. Mayonnaise IS the devil’s own condiment. A nice pasta salad can be nice though.
Hmmm... I was thinking exactly what Beth said.
Because why else would someone crave mayonnaise. It's not exactly one of lifes delicacies :)
Hmmm...de-lurking just cuz unexplained cravings make me think...well....anyway, Beth might be onto something.
If you start craving ice cream next we'll have to start worrying, since you are a freak of nature who doesn't like ice cream :-)
