That is the best post ever! Sadly, I have had no cravings during pregnancy so I can't beat you there. I have just eaten a whole bunch... and it is showing :)... I love food. Yum! I didn't know there were that many different kinds of pickled anything in a grocery store.
I'd be curious if you listed what those pickled items are, because I also had no idea there could be so many pickled green items.
We have nothing pickled in our fridge of any color. Before leaving California I think we did have capers, which I believe are technically pickled, but I never touched them. The only thing I will eat pickled AT ALL is pickled ginger when eating sushi.
Is this from pregnancy cravings or just because you happen to really love pickled greens?
alas, i cannot beat that score, but yesterday i did try pickled beats for the first time ever. i'm sad to report that my pee did not turn pink as i was promised.
Here's the official list, in order of fridge position (top down and out to door):
Polish sauerkraut (kind of a pale green, but still green) Vlasic hamburger dill ovals Garlic green olives Vlasic Snack'ems tiny dills Manzanilla olives, pimento stuffed Kosher whole dills Capote capers Non-pareil capers Mixed marinated olives Imported grape leaves in vinegar brine
The only ones I can really attribute to cravings are the tiny dills and the garlic olives, although I have also bought these while un-pregnant. The rest I will attribute to our taste for Mediterranean and Slavic food. Steven loves pickles, I love green olives, and we both enjoy both.

I knew capers had to be in there somewhere. Yum yum yummy. What are the grape leaves for?
The grape leaves are for making dolmas! Yummy!
