Title: What causes cravings?
Post by: neilep on 24/12/2005 17:48:56

Dearest Naked Science Scientists Academics and altogether Clever Peeps (including UkMicky [:D])

For the last few days I've had this craving for Pineapple Juice !!..yes indeed...My fridge is now filled with Pineapple juice goodness.

But why does the body crave in such a specific way ?...there I was in bed at 5am and all I could think about was pineapple juice..I had to get out and drink some...it was delish...

..now I'm quite sure this time next week I'll probably be sick of the stuff but it's funny how the body craves a specific taste isn't it ?

Have YOU had any particular cravings recently ?

Neil, you gotta try this one

get a fresh coconut put a chunk as big as the palm of your hand in the juicer and then put a whole fresh pineapple though the juicer also. whisk and serve, this is the food of the gods.

Have you thought you may have been a women that was expecting in another life? do you crave for pickled ghurkins and strawberry jam? or just pineapples at the moment?

Or maybe you were in the trenches lobbing grenades, which were known as tossing a pineapple at the jerry? tempted to add another line but hand left the table and got me by the throat before i could tap the keyboard

phey just got my hand back and forgot what i was gonna type next.

Pineapple is very good for refreshing the mouth, more so than many other fruits, it also has a disinfecting action on the throat. argggghhhh damn hands got me again.

Thanks Andrew ,

lol......it just so happens that I was in fact contemplating (seriously) how coconut and pineapple have to be one of the pre-eminent perfect matches of all time. I personally don't believe in Intelligent Design but those two are too good together to be true.

 You can even taste a soupcon of coconut in pineapple !...what's that all about ? (brain playing tricks mode I suppose)....but I will most certainly give your coconut/pineapple recipe again. What are the ingredients again ?[:D]

Regarding Tossing a pineapple at the jerry.....lol...I already added the second line in my mind you dirty man !!! hee hee !![;)]
