What is it about cravings? They show up out of nowhere, and are always for the strangest things. I read an article about cravings several years ago, about what they mean. If you’re craving pretzels (or other salty snacks), it means you’re dehydrated. If you’re craving steak, you’re lacking in iron. Peanut butter is a vitamin B deficiency. It makes sense… your body knows what it needs, and it tells you. So… what about craving chicken salad?
I was sitting in my second period (out of five) class the other day, and out of nowhere, I got this crazy craving for chicken salad. The weirdest part was that it was for a chicken salad I had never even tasted before. I wanted cold chicken, boiled potatoes, pickles, scallions, all mixed together in a bowl with mustard and yogurt combined for a dressing. Now that’s a strange craving if I’ve ever had one.
I couldn’t get the chicken salad out of my mind for the whole day, and the second I got out of school, I bolted home to make it. It was just as good as I was expecting it to be.
