    Red face what foods are you going off and/or getting very picky about it?

    I just wondered. i'm around 21 weeks (after mt EDD has changed for the third time...) and i've found myself being REALLY picky with food. like lettus. i wont eat ANY that looks a little brown/bused. and at the moment im eating the purple gapes, and any that are a little sqwishy or dont feel right im not eating. i've also gone compleatly OFF bannanas! (well my first bought of MS was RIGHT after eating one...so i havent tuched them since...and the smell of them makes me a little ) i've read this is normal...but i was wondering what foods others have gone off/gotten really picky about. my DF thinks i was already bad enough before the pg. now he has NO idea what i can/cant/will/wont eat!

    so any one have any strange/sudden dislikes or pickyness with food?

    I've gone off a few things. I still won't touch brocolli (I went off green vegies in first trimester), but I'm fine with all other vegies. I gag on apple skin if it gets too tough and chewy - I first threw up after trying to eat some apple skin. I've also noticed just recently that I've gone off fried/fast foods. Before I was pg I ate much more of it than I should, but I've found that in the past month or so, the idea of fast food just does not appeal at all - which is really good! Still love chocolate though

    I love avo!!! But in PG i went off it...it didnt make me gag or anything, but i just had no desire to eat it like i used to.
    I went off chocolate for a while there too, but then a few weeks before the birth i was addicted to mars bars!!! Would eat 2 king sized ones if i were given the chance lol
    Its nothing that i went off, but i would drink about 1L of choc milk a day!!!

    I've completely gone off anything fried/ takeaway and I can't deal with a big hunk or red meat (try and avoid cooking it too)
    Cooking mince will make me hurl even now!

    I was like the steak and veg champion of the world before pg. Now the thought of the slightest bit of grissle makes my guts churn (and I havent really had even the slightest bit os m/s) Cant do currys either. DF spewing, those his faves and have banned the smell in the house-even if he cooks!! Strange days, I am like a world champ eater with a cast iron gut. Nothing ever bothered me before ('cept offal, but thats just wrong)

    Can't eat any type of fish since from about 5 wks pg. It is really hard trying to pick something for lunch to go on a roll or sandwich as the risk of listeria with cold meats and sandwich chicken is too high to risk it and i can't stand the thought of putting tinned tuna/salmon on it either. I tend to go vego through the day and then some type of fresh cooked meat and vege of a night!

    The first trimester was completely off fish too. I actually had to leave a restaurant cause the people next to us ordered these awful fishy smelling fishcakes, I nearly spewed on the spot. I also hate when the office people have their DAILY tuna sandwich and leave the tin in the bin unrinsed..ewwwwwwwwwwww I have tried white fish again lately and providing its not salmon or tuna...I'm finally enjoying grilled or panfried mild fish like dory but nothing fishy, which will be great for summer.

    I've also gone off some red meats, mostly because I cannot eat the way I like it, such as a nice piece of rare steak and med-rare lamb as it tastes GROSS to have it well done, I'd rather go without. I also eat much smaller portion of meat ( chicken, pork) than I used to, DH usually ends up with 1/4 of my portion,my body wants carbs and veggies.
