Have any of you suddenly became fixated on a certain food? Did it go away or did your tastes just change making you like it more?

I'm just curious because I've developed a fixation over a generally unhealty food, bacon. I've got the metabolism to make up for it but regardless I know it can't be good to become a bacon fanatic.

Normally I wouldn't post such an eccentric and almost pointless topic. I am in a posting mood today though.

Thoughts about the topic? ~Thanks,

Oh, I go through these stages where I just get a major craving for a certain food and can't get enough of it. But, eventually I get tired of eating it. Usually it's just when I smell something cooking that I haven't had in a long time and it just gets me to remembering how much I liked it. I get that craving for BLTs when those first tomatoes are ripening on the vine in the summer (if I could just keep the squirrels out of my garden this year, I might get a tomato before they do). Sometimes for a certain flavor of ice cream, or for a while I was really into a curried squash dish. I try to blame it on monthly hormone cycles. What's your excuse? :biggrin:
 
I get cravings for certain foods for awhile, then it goes away.

It's usually salty food.
 
Chocolate. Always chocolate... :wink:

You can even eat a chocolate bar while water skiing! :smile: I know this for a FACT!
 
Bread and butter pickles! (weird, huh?)
and - NO, I'm not pregnant!
 
Oh, my weirdest craving is mayonaisse sandwiches...yep, lots of mayo on squishy bread...couldn't get much worse than that. My dad and I used to make them together when I was a kid, and I think I liked them mostly because my mom thought it was horrible (mom and I have never quite seen eye to eye on things, so if she disapproved of something, I was likely to keep doing it). Anyway, every once in a while, I just get a craving for one of those. I've refined my taste a bit and don't eat squishy white bread anymore, but whole wheat seems to be a decent substitute.
 
I crave the same kinds of things too...usually pickled hot foods :-p...olives, pickles, and avocados are the ones i love to snack on...cheese is another favorite, especially brie on crackers.
 
Cashew nuts, coke and chips.

Can't beat that fat and carbo.
