anyone had a food craving they couldn't fix???

[F0xybabe]

I seem to have a horrible problem. I've been craving pork rinds for two weeks straight. Almost everyday I have cravings for it that just won't go away, but the problem is that they are impossible to find ANYWHERE. I've been to 10 different grocery stores and corner stores and most of them don't even know what pork rinds are. I've emailed companies personally asking them if they provide online purchases or which stores carry their product and have yielded no results ("Sorry we do not cater to your area"!!!)

It's so frustrating and today I feel like crying because I want them so bad. What am I suppose to do? My mom keeps trying to suggest other things that are "Like pork rinds" but it's useless, I want pork rinds or nothing!!!

I feel like a silly teenager who can't get her way. ugh.

awww hun where do u live?? pork rinds are at every store around here..

 

[MummyMana]

Are they the same as pork scratchins? If they are try pubs :L

I'm having a similar problem in that's keep craving things I know I don't like :/ I have a lot of issues with food and for example there's no way I could eat baked beans, but lately I've been craving them :/ so i'm just ignoring it, I can't even stand the sight of them or the idea of a singular baked bean D:

I've also been craving pumice stone :/ might actually get some xD

awww hun where do u live?? pork rinds are at every store around here..

unfortunately I live in montreal, Canada! Where they're nowhere to be found. 5 minutes away across the border I could probably load up on them like crazy, but I don't have a passport so I cant cross

Can you order them off the Internet? Ive really fancied pork scratchings throughout my pregnancy too but luckily I can get them in my local shops! Try Ebay hun?! Ive just looked and theres people selling Pork Scratchings on there so maybe u can get hold of some?! xox

Are there any stores in your area that sell diabetic or low-carb foods? While not considered a "health" food, pork rinds are low in carbs so are sometimes deemed to be "acceptable" treats by people who are following a low carb lifestyle.

I just did some quick research, and it seems that in Montreal the only place to get pork rinds are at shops specializing in Mexican or Latina foods. Who knew? Are there any of those near you, like the little grocery type stores?

 

[hopefulfor1st]

Cook a pork roast and eat the rind?

 

[Tankmom23]

i was going to say, find a mexican store. They always have them.

I FEEL your pain. For me it is blue cheese. There is blue cheese all over the place so I could get it if I wanted but I know it isn't safe and I'm not willing to risk it but there are times when I've wanted to cry I wanted it so badly. One of my favourite food combos even not pregnant is fresh cherries with blue cheese (weird I know but really nice) and it is fresh cherry season NOW and will be gone by the time I have had the baby and it is SO NOT FAIR.

My other big one was a tuna sandwich. I don't believe that tuna is a sustainable fish so I never eat it and object to buying it but I basically got to a point where I felt like I was going to go mad if I didn't have a tuna salad sandwich on soft white bread so I broke down and bought some canned tuna and made one. I feel really guilty but I just really really really wanted it.

 

[wamommy]

Haha, patooti... don't feel guilty! One tuna sandwich won't kill you. For me it's a Dairy Queen BLizzard. I don't want to tell my DH how badly I'm craving it, and we almost never eat fast food. I tried to settle for some "healthy" ice cream at home, but it just isn't the same!! I WANT a butterfinger blizzard, lol. I might break down and admit I want one tomorrow.

FOxybabe, any luck finding rinds yet?

 

[ciabatta]

ha ha ha this thread made me smile
well mine has been pizza (satisfy that far too regularly) and breadfruit - slow roasted!! well unless I fly from Spain to Jamaica I aint gonna get the breadfruit so have to settle for more pizza!

weird but last pregnancy my craving was burger king! why cant i crave healthy foods! lol
