If you roll the food around in flour before you fry it, you've got three of the four Unmarried Male Food Groups:<br /><br />fat, grease, starch and sugar. You can get the sugar, too, if you have a Mai Tai with dinner.</i><br /><br />Per some guy named Alex Levine:<br /><br /><i>Only Irish coffee provides in a single glass all four essential food groups: alcohol, caffeine, sugar, and fat.</i>bobnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07715238134585125684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-29431733964765576452011-10-21T18:42:42.560-04:002011-10-21T18:42:42.560-04:00DanH, you left out Fat and Chocolate!

I recall a "Leave it to Beaver" episode where Beaver asks Wally if it's good for the teeth, so he says he can tell mom "it's good for the teeth" when she asks him what he's been eating.<br />Pica, which is the word for that craving indicates a mineral deficiency, which may or may not (probably not) be satisfied by eating the clay or tar. A multivitamin with minerals would be better.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-28424433231218690392011-10-21T13:08:27.945-04:002011-10-21T13:08:27.945-04:00My grandmother's family doctor once assured he...My grandmother's family doctor once assured her that she should not stop my uncle John from trying to get ot the road and consume road tar (he'd done it twice before she consulted the doctor) because there was obviously some nutrient in the paving materials that his body was lacking, and that created the craving.<br /><br />To her credit, grandma never went back to that guy, and she told me that story about 45 years later.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15824445546892392815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-89257847084930341532011-10-21T12:39:56.905-04:002011-10-21T12:39:56.905-04:00Basic Southern food groups: salt, grease and alcoh...Basic Southern food groups: salt, grease and alcohol.<br /><br />JDJD(not the one with the picture)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08404477489642340522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-39784143716349795772011-10-21T11:41:55.531-04:002011-10-21T11:41:55.531-04:00Seriously, you may be craving protein, or a specif...Seriously, you may be craving protein, or a specific amino acid.RobertSlaughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642530076378579530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-86758675057714849792011-10-21T09:55:44.537-04:002011-10-21T09:55:44.537-04:00For Brigid,

It and the other things you get from eating bones and the broths and sauces made from bones are also fantastic for your joints and for healing connective tissue damage.<br /><br />Buy some oxtails and root vegetables for Bobbie and look pathetic until she does something with them.LabRathttp://www.atomicnerds.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-68886741223097379652011-10-20T21:34:47.552-04:002011-10-20T21:34:47.552-04:00I hope the craving wasn't for the collagen, ...I hope the craving wasn't for the collagen, rich in the jus and the wings.
