Top 10 Weirdest Food Cravings of Pregnant Women

People have been creating food combination for years, and most of the time, they’re collectively iconic. But some people have some food cravings that are not yet accepted by the mainstream and are just straight-up weird. A lot of pregnant women (and just some oddballs with unique food cravings) have the urge to combine sweet, salty, sour, and spicy flavors in concoctions that fascinate some, and make others nauseous. Here are the top 10 weirdest food cravings of all time.

1. Ice Cream and Pickles

Pickles are a massive pregnancy craving, and for anyone pickle-obsessed, they’d probably eat the same things as a mom-to-be.  Pickles are tasty on hamburgers, or deep-fried on their own. That add a crunch snap of saltiness to a sandwich and many savory creations, but ice cream is a texture that pickles should stay far away from. Just the thought of the two in a bowl together makes our stomach curdle, but apparently it tastes like heaven for pregnant ladies.

2. Peanut Butter and Mayonnaise on Toast

Let’s try to relate to this one — maybe it’s a small amount of mayo, and it just adds a hot, buttery aspect when applied to freshly toasted bread. But if mayonnaise is being liberally applied and the bread is cold, we’re gonna go ahead and call this one a monstrosity. PB should only be legal with jam, fruit, or honey. Worst case scenario, you can add butter if you really don’t like sweet things.

3. Oreo and Smoked Salmon

Yes, we were horrified too after seeing this craving that apparently pregnant women experience. A combination of chocolate, sweet cream, and fish is something that we never want to try in this lifetime. Sometimes, there are just things that should never be mixed, and smoked salmon combined with any sweet delicacy is definitely one of those things.

4. Hot Cheetos Dipped in Yogurt

We get it — hot Cheetos can make your taste buds set aflame and reach for a glass of juice, but yogurt is a whole other story. Perhaps it just tastes like a dip, kind of like sour cream, but plain yogurt alone without any seasoning doesn’t sound that amazing. Funnily enough, pregnant women have even been known to dip these spicy Cheetos in strawberry flavored yogurt! Now that’s a creative combination.
