Yes, it's normal to have such unusual cravings. It might be related to iron deficiency. So make sure that you have plenty of iron-rich food. Some good sources are: - Shellfish (e.g. oysters, clam and mussels) - Chicken, turkey, fish, lamb lean beef - Eggs - Cashews - Cooked legumes (e.g. lentils and chick peas) - Green vegetables (e.g. broccoli, spinach, silverbeet) Also, ask you doctor if you need to test your iron levels.
