Period cravings led me to a weird place.

KCGD_r@reddit

Look. I am a man, and have probably never had a period, and I can tell you for absolute fact, that plate would be empty before the air cleared from under it

[-]

Oh_Witchy_Woman@reddit

I need to know how you cooked those potatoes, they look so good right now

[-]

tony_negrony@reddit

Is that just a bread bun loaded with anchovies? I’m a fan of them but even that amount would be too much for me

[-]

okaymyemye@reddit

i love anchovies but damn, that's a lot of salt.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Yesss a full tin of anchovies on a slice of everything bagel sour dough

[-]

I just made some shitty pizza (damn shoulda taken a photo for /r/PizzaCrimes) where I put in a single packet of 4 Italian anchovy fillets. They were salty af. This lil' sammich looks like a day's intake of sodium.

[-]

tony_negrony@reddit

Insanity 💀💀💀💀. Please drink some water for your sodium levels LOL (hope you enjoyed, I would’ve devoured this too)

[-]

TuvixWillNotBeMissed@reddit

You're going to have a very strong baby, like Bam Bam. I think that's how that works. I dunno I'm not a doctor.

[-]

Mklingy@reddit

Baby you need some iron supplements

[-]

Dreaming_Inside@reddit

All I see is a protein rich meal ! Perfect period munch

[-]

Resonance-stablized@reddit

Iron and protein during your period is so important. It looks good af imo and I’m pregnant haha 😭❤️

[-]

drmelle0@reddit

I might be pregnant cause I want some too. Which is weird cause I'm a guy, but I did get high so that may explain the pregnancy.

[-]

Resonance-stablized@reddit

Bwahaha feed the baby

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Girl get your plate!!

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

This is a meal fit for a bear ready to hibernate but you know what ? Go off queen. You're basically a few slices of cheese from a weird raclette.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Ooh more cheese and some pickles would go so hard rn, I gotta get on that

[-]

Prior-Lab7130@reddit

Hell yeah!! You’re building a human. You need and deserve it.

Never made my wife feel bad about the amount she was eating, as long as it was useful nutrients and balanced. She put a shit ton of effort in to making a point of as many different foods as possible day as she could. Bonus for her, she gets to eat endlessly and not give a damn. Little one was delivered c section two weeks early, 9lbs 1oz. Perfect health, good proportions, strong, alert and aware. A LOT of pizza and a decent amount of protein waffles built this little tank. 3mo 2w old, she’s over 17 lbs, and the pediatrician couldn’t be happier.

Go get your pickles and cheese!

[-]

Crafty_Aspect8919@reddit

Periods and pregnancy are two different things....I think

[-]

Prior-Lab7130@reddit

LOL. Brain read pregnant. Oopsie poopsie OP.

[-]

xenorous@reddit

Sliced pickles, green olives, and then some parsley and cayenne on top, and you could charge like 30 bucks for this at a restaurant

[-]

jw8ak64ggt@reddit

who's your testicles guy? they look prime

[-]

Murky_Tennis954@reddit

Not just pickles, use wickles

[-]

jaid_skywalker85@reddit

Weird? This is perfection.

[-]

Thick_Reaction_9887@reddit

Please check your iron levels

[-]

-iamLEEROYJENKINS@reddit

That's a good looking plate!

[-]

planting49@reddit

I see no problems here (except for your cramps :( hope they go away soon)

[-]

Odd-Offer377@reddit

You are definitely European

[-]

Batou02@reddit

Oh man, I hope you are still alive after that many anchovies. Your sodium levels might be to high

[-]

Responsible_Ruin_106@reddit

You eat like a wealthy European farmhand post-bubonic plague.

[-]

Responsible_Ruin_106@reddit

A farmhand was able to enjoy relative wealth due to the shrunken supply of labor post plague.

[-]

NightStrikerStudios@reddit

Charcuterie board, but just meat and bread 🤤

My favorite craving moment was the Peanut butter cookies and ginger ale. 😂

[-]

goodtimesinchino@reddit

Ya had me ‘til I saw the fish. Thumbs up on the rest!

[-]

dreamibunni@reddit

YOU NEED IRON. EAT GREENS YOU NEED IRON.

[-]

Gumnutbaby@reddit

And some vitamin C to help with the iron absorption.

honeybun567@reddit

eats iron man instead for iron 🤭☺️

[-]

Funkeydote@reddit

I saw a picture of a protein meal that looked like soil with bits of carrots and some kind of herb even though it's actually ground beef. Your weird place is too normal imo.

[-]

EnvironmentEuphoric9@reddit

Your iron level are lit right now.

[-]

motherlymetal@reddit

Are you anemic?

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

A week ago I’d have said no but the past few days have me wondering

[-]

Gumnutbaby@reddit

Have some vitamin C with your iron, it helps with absorption.

[-]

froglog43@reddit

I think this is how you get gout

[-]

nazutul@reddit

I wonder how much sodium is in this meal...

[-]

Naroef@reddit

Holy soidum

[-]

Jolly-Biscuit@reddit

This is how I get my iron if hubby doesn't have time to make me a giant piece of steak

[-]

SnooFloofs1169@reddit

this is true girl dinner you slayed

[-]

Prize-Definition730@reddit

That herrings, I am carving! Oh yea my period is coming in days

[-]

Calliope719@reddit

I thought I was on r/girldinner

Looks amazing

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Ooh honestly it would have fit better there! Thanks for the new sub

[-]

Cyber-X1@reddit

That’s the opposite of shitty to me. Yum.. maybe cook it some and add some condiments/sauces

[-]

Puzzle_theChaotic065@reddit

Idk if I'm still on my period but I'm really craving pierogi 🥟 (yes I am polish)

[-]

honeybun567@reddit

I'm not polish but I love pierogi 😍

[-]

Puzzle_theChaotic065@reddit

They're so goos

[-]

honeybun567@reddit

I agree 🥰

[-]

TKG_Actual@reddit

It led you to eat like a golden retriever given human form for 24 hours?

[-]

liberatedhusks@reddit

I need to keep deli meats around, I go rabid when I’m on mine, craving any source of iron. I see you too like your potato’s like the earth made them-dry as fuck

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Deli meats are so good, they only last a couple of days in my house. The potatoes are salt potatoes and really don’t need much! If I were willing to put in any effort, they’d have herbed butter on them but oh well

[-]

pol131@reddit

It's a proto raclette, it can only be delicious

[-]

Obvious_Arm_6399@reddit

That looks great, what’s the issue? lol

[-]

honeybun567@reddit

I have pms cravings and I love donuts especially the chocolate frosted ones from entemans I think that's how you spell it 🤭

[-]

Drackar39@reddit

Sooo since no one else seems to have mentioned it, that cheese is... not a safe choice for someone who's pregnant. Soft cheese, especially moldy soft cheese, can be a vector for Listeria.

Also like. honestly that's a dope looking spread.

[-]

honeybun567@reddit

She's not pregnant but on her period hence the title 😗☺️

[-]

Otherwise_Olive_9333@reddit

I approve of the anchovies. So good

[-]

boyproblems_mp3@reddit

Queen shit

[-]

Dull-Function-2021@reddit

I thought u were in keto till i saw the bread. My ex used to feed me a bloody ribeye the week b4 my period waaay back in the day and I never had bad cramps then 🙃

[-]

creampup@reddit

ive noticed in my life that period hunger and testosterone hunger are pretty much the same thing

[-]

tomoom165@reddit

Gabagool

[-]

damagecontrolparty@reddit

It's nothing but fat and nitrates.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

TIL gabagool is another name for speck

[-]

thelectricrain@reddit

I don't think it is, coppa/gabagool is from the pork shoulder/neck and speck is from the leg (with different spices).

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

You know your meats! I kinda just blindly buy anything that says it’s aged

[-]

tomoom165@reddit

[-]

Que_Raoke@reddit

I naturally assumed this was a plate from the hot pot bar at first

[-]

7h0rn_Pr1nc355@reddit

For a minute, I thought you were eating ball sacks but realised they were just potatoes

[-]

MB_AP@reddit

You’re pregnant lol

[-]

Dude008@reddit

Looks good except for the carbs (bun)

[-]

ash-leg2@reddit

This conjures when I feel a way and my husband asked what I want to eat and all I can muster is "meat".

[-]

CampingMonk@reddit

Evidently my mom ate a metric ton of oranges.

[-]

West-Application-375@reddit

Iron and protein. Not bad.

[-]

Illustrious-Bake3878@reddit

Well, it’s very brown.

[-]

KageRageous@reddit

Get that iron bestie!

[-]

kathatter75@reddit

That’s my first thought…woman needs some iron

[-]

StrawberryTerry@reddit

That food will become part of your baby.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

I’m not sure you know what a period is my friend

[-]

StrawberryTerry@reddit

Oh, I didn't read the title lol. I just assumed this was a weird pregnancy craving.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Hahaha that’s incredibly valid

Though I am curious how you flagged me as a woman so easily

[-]

StrawberryTerry@reddit

I just 100% assumed this plate was because of pregnancy cravings, and I think I saw "cramps" in the post body peripherally.

[-]

SunOnTheInside@reddit

Not the person you were talking to, but I’m guessing the words “period cravings” in your post title lmao.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Okay I see where you’re coming from but they said they didn’t read the title, so I was wondering why they assumed pregnancy and not just dude who wants meat

[-]

Irradiated_gnome@reddit

I feel like I’m at a zoo watching the illiterate people, what the hell 😂 you’re being so nice

[-]

ResidentCommand9865@reddit

The Baby yearns for Protein... It's gonna be YOLKED When he/she is born!

[-]

OGdirty1Kanobi@reddit

Just need some pickles and you got your food groups

[-]

EnkiduTheGreat@reddit

Salt and carbs!

[-]

EntropyNT@reddit

Very meat and potatoes.

[-]

Irradiated_gnome@reddit

Looks delicious but drryyyyyy

[-]

i_Ainsley_harriott_i@reddit

If you give me this exact plate every day i would not mind at all.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Your cholesterol would mind unfortunately

[-]

i_Ainsley_harriott_i@reddit

Well actually ☝️🤓

[-]

HankMakesMusic@reddit

I am seeing a lot of salt. I pray for your kidneys

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

The potatoes were unfortunately salt potatoes (the Syracuse way)

[-]

HankMakesMusic@reddit

Oh dear good luck I pray for your kidneys and your sanity

[-]

bigznotthelittle1@reddit

I see the vision girl

Foreign_Matter_4638@reddit

It's better than the bowl of chocolate-covered marshmallows and peanut butter I end up eating from my cravings

[-]

Whiskeyybreath@reddit

You’re craving that iron babe lol

[-]

RiskySnisky@reddit

Obese?

[-]

slypretender@reddit

Sorry, but that looks delicious!

[-]

under-siege-inTx@reddit

Am I having a period?

[-]

kiwi_manbearpig@reddit

This does not deserve to be in this sub, this is what I eat when I'm not poor, which is most of the time. By which i mean, I'm poor most of the time and I would eat this if I could afford it. That still doesn't make sense, I mean: i would eat this if i wasn't poor but I'm always poor... fuck it, you know what i mean. I could go back and edit this post but I'm too lazy. Which is probably why I'm poor come to think of it.

[-]

teddybearcastles@reddit (OP)

Fully agree this was not an inexpensive meal, but I would consider it shitty for the lack of effort and incredibly disproportionate macros. If my standards are too high though I’ll take the compliment!
