Strange food cravings

[DetectingSA]

If you asked me a month ago if I liked spicy foods, I would have said no way!

For some reason in the last month I've craved spicy foods for every meal, more and more, to the point last night I had a vindaloo curry from a propper Indian joint last night without breaking a sweat, and thoroughly enjoyed every bit

Google says your body can crave spicy food if you have low blood pressure. Which is strange because historically my blood pressure has always been consistently abit low.

And I'm not pregnant, well I don't think so, being a man and all

But I did see that one documentary with a muscle bound Austrian guy who got pregnant, Arnie someone

Anyone else experienced bizzare cravings for foods they once hated?

When I was a kid, if my Mother even had one tiny speck of pepper on my food I would not eat it and even up until I was like 40 same thing if my x put any on my food, now I love my spices I have just about every spice made...weird. Not a curry lover though.

Pretty certain, maybe I should get a test to be sure

Same with me with mushrooms in my youth, now I love a good mushroom

Still working on brussel sprouts though... yuck :N:

They say as you get older you need spicier, stronger flavours as you taste buds are not as effective. I have found this to be the case but still draw the line at really hot foods.

I think It's a difficult test to do.....but
It's sure to be code brown positive if you get it wrong ]

Good point. I hated beer as a kid but now I don't. They have hops they are spicey arent they ? Brusel sprouts and mushrooms still suck imho.

Oh i could live on mushrooms,must be panned or bbq though,even better with a good scotch fillet and a bit of sour cream......
Brussel sprouts im with ya wishfull,disgusting....

I love just about every vege, including Brussels sprouts!
I can't come at kidney or liver though. Love spicy food.
Curry's, chilli's, love it all.

Was a vegetarian for my teenage years, until one day at a pub in Sydney when I was 20, walked in and saw a man eating a Tbone steak, my mouth watered, ordered one best meal I ever had and now not a vegetarian anymore lol

My old man god bless his soul allways said a vegetairian was the village idiot who could not hunt or fish.

I'm keen on all veg like you davent liver does my head in Mum used to make lambs fry once a week. Can't handle fish either unless it's salt and pepper squid or Gummy shark. Bella92 glad to hear you found the real world of taste not much beats a good steak :Y:. But my favourite meat is lamb.

Hey Silver

Yikes a Pregnant Whites user, Now that is what I call a multi-purpose detector :Y: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Brooksy]

I like brussell sprouts ,pretty much eat any vegie but someone told me to try deep frying a brussell sprout
I have a deep fryer so i got told drop it in for only like a minute ,i must say it was delicious, cant say ive
Craved foods that i never used to like ,however i did try oysters as a teenager and thought they were disgusting
But now i eat them . Funny how our taste buds change as we get older.

Im such a chilli addict that my mouth waters when I read about people eating hot stuff, or even think about it.

Trouble is, the upper part of the digestive system soon develops a pretty good tolerance, but not the lower part.

If I eat a very hot meal, or enough industrial strength chilli sauce, I tend to suffer the next day!

In the worst cases, it feels like my bathroom is like one of those videos where the lava in Hawaii runs into the ocean.
