I've never been a big fan of 1) scrambled eggs or 2) peanut butter. But the past month I have been eating a lot of both.

Scrambled eggs (and bacon) at breakfast, then for dinner I want scrambled eggs again, with raisin cinnamon toast.

I rarely buy peanut butter. But last week I grabbed a small jar while grocery shopping. I've eaten 4 PB&J sandwiches in the past week - I normally wouldn't eat that many in a year.

:confused: Oh well, not an earth shattering problem. Maybe my taste buds are wanting variety.

(No, I'm definitely not pregnant)
 

Until I saw your ps, I was wondering pregnant. I know there are old wives tales that say we crave foods that have nutrients we are in need of at that moment, who knows.
On a different note, I have noticed my own tastes changing as I have gotten older, eating foods now that I did not when younger. I also find I need/want more seasonings. Guess it is just a thing with us.
 
With me it is usually the memory of scalloped oysters around Thanksgiving.

Also fried parsnips.

I'm not a big fan of oysters or parsnips but I still get a sort of nostalgic craving for them.
 
I don't really like sardines, but I always keep some as emergency food in the pantry downstairs, the skinless and boneless in olive oil. Every now and then I just am ready to have some, usually eat them right out of the can with some crackers like Saltines.
 
I've always had the family for holiday dinners until recently, but when I did I would always buy some black olives because several family members loved them. I've hated those things as a child and in recent years would even pick them out of a salad that I ordered. The last few times I had made dinner I found myself nibbling at them while I put away the leftovers. I decided they weren't so bad after all. Once in awhile I pick up a small can during the year and am actually enjoying them. Sour cream was off limits for years. Now I can't eat a baked potato without it.
