    Hi Lou

    I find cream eggs sickly, which is a good thing as I am diabetic. As for cream egg ice cream, I will give that one a miss also. However. I do have a craving to eat ice cubes!, It’s called “PICA” to describe craving and chewing substances that have no nutritional value — such as ice, clay, soil or paper. and is to do with my anaemia.

    Craving and chewing ice (pagophagia) is often associated with iron deficiency, with or without anemia, although the reason is unclear. At least one study indicates that ice chewing might increase alertness in people with iron deficiency anemia.
