Strange food cravings

I know that it is normal to crave some things every now and then. For the last couple of weeks, I can't get enough vinegar. Vinaigrette dressings on spinach salads, fish and chips with malt vinegar, mustard and onion on a sandwich. Never had such an intense craving for so long. About to visit the doctor this morning. Think I'm going to mention it. I can't imagine what is missing from my diet that makes me crave vinegar so badly.

Strange.

I hope this was just a commentary and not a complaint.

I bloody love vinegar!!

Put some on french fries & potato chips and I never have to worry about anyone stealing them. Well, more than once.

I enjoy the tartness of vinegar myself, but keep it off my fish and chips! Just no. Tartar sauce and ketchup.

Now, you can add red wine vinegar (or apple cider) to ketchup to sauce it up some. I like doing that now and again.

Lately, I've been craving ribs. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to have any in quite some time.

I like vinegar. I have probably 20 different types--almost as many as mustards.

I just can't seem to get enough of it these last couple of weeks. Doctor had no idea, but she ran more blood work than usual.

there has to be a joke in this but I am tired and cannot think of one.

Can increasing vinegar consumption help bolster one's acerbic wit?

Lately, I seem to be on a bit of a cheese and bagette binge (with wine, of course).
