Just a little bit of fun I had with the I P.

 

When pregnant be prepared to arrange

for your taste buds to slightly change,

not that I fancied catfishes or radishes

just some cheese and honey sandwiches,

 

 

I'd even have them with Sunday roast

gravy, honey soaked up with toast,

a strict vegetarian was I back then

didn't care to ever eat meat again,

 

till finally  baby came along,

the yearning I had no longer strong,

soon I was back on the meat again,

cheese honey sandwiches I disdain.

Haha - they sound repulsive Jenny! I remember eating brinjal pickle with a spoon, straight out of the jar when I was pregnant!

The only cravings I had was for 'not tea' with one pregnancy and an urge to eat to clear a metallic taste with another. But, I do like cheese and honey sandwiches, though not with gravy. But I mustn't eat too many of them! Rhiannon

Hi insert,

really glad I could make you laugh. Yes I did have a taste for the above and would eat them with every meal, now I agree with you, repulsive. These pregnancy tastes are very strange.

Hi Rhiannon,

I had such a sweet tooth when I was pregnant, I don't know how all my teeth didn't fall out. I would also go through packets of boiled fruit sweets, but even they lost their taste after giving birth...thank goodness.

I can understand you not wanting to eat too many now though.

Jenny.

Dear Jenny, I like children but I can't bear them, if you see what I mean. I don't know much about cravings during pregnancy, so I can see the funny side from your humorous poem and consider myself lucky for having an ordinary taste in food.

Best wishes, Luigi xx

HI Jenny

I enjoyed reading this, and your clever rhymes. Cheese and honey sounds okay to me.

Hi Luigi,

it is funny the way woman's tastes change when they're pregnant. A friend I once knew went through liquorice like there was no tomorrow, she would miss meals just to eat it and had a constant black tongue.

Even now I look back on cheese and honey sandwiches and think how on earth did I enjoy them with gravy. Yuk!  Ha, ha. smiley

Glad you enjoyed reading anyway and thank you for letting me know. 

Jenny. xx

Hi Jean,

I agree cheese and honey sandwiches sounds fine, but not with gravy which I think is horrible now.

This just came into my head when I saw the IP for some reason. I'm glad you thought it rhymed okay.

Many thanks for letting me know.

Jenny.
