Would you ever eat collard greens on pizza while pregnant? What did you crave?

Did you crave weird stuff when you were pregnant? When I was pregnant, I craved pizza and collard greens with hot sauce. Can you imagine? What an odd combination. Of course, I never tried collard greens on pizza at the same time. But I'll bet smothered in cheese that puppy would have tasted good. (no, I did not actually try a puppy on my pizza, LOL!) Though I was so hungry once that I almost speared my spouse in the hand when he reached across the table and helped himself to my food. I credit the baby for such actions. She is here now and her current personality is the same as it was before she was born. Fiesty, but sweet. Anyway, those were my strangest cravings. I didn't crave icecream or cake at all. And, mostly I couldn't risk having too much sugar because of my near gestational diabetes scare. That set me straight on eating sweets while pregnant. Those two did not mix. But, I craved the pizza, mostly because it had tomato sauce and that has folic acid. Or, maybe the crust has folic acid. The body needs that during pregnancy for a healthy baby. You can get it from enriched breads, pasta and such. Some people say the baby is the one influencing the cravings. I've heard that it could be other factors, like hormones. Honestly, I have always believed that there's a built-in system that makes a woman crave foods that contain the nutrients that the baby needs most. That's what I think anyway. What's the weirdest thing you craved while pregnant? Would you ever eat any of those foods now? Or, do you wonder how you could have ever eaten foods like that when you look back on the whole experience?
