pickles?
Dont really do pickles much in UK like that i dont think. sometimes i do crave pickled beetroot though.
Just about to go proper food shop and i have no idea what im going to buy to make my dinners with. it seems my creativity is gone, could be the killer headache but i dont know.

ive actually been investigating a bit and in addition to the kale and courgette recipe i have found these
http://askgeorgie.com/garlic-and-ros...nellini-beans/ amd i nearly always have cannellini beans in the cupboard but im sure they would work with other beans too! going to try these out later.

I suppose i could even experiment with different flavours!

You had an intense craving and then a migraine afterwards? This is pretty common in the prodrome phase of migraines. A lot of migraine sufferers crave some form of carbohydrates before a migraine hits. Chocolate is common, and I know, personally, when I get some incredibly intense desires for sweets, that a migraine may not be long after. If this is what's happening, eating the food is not going to stop the migraine.

It actually did help when I had salty peanuts. I understood migraines can come about due to chemical or electrolyte imbalance so no it wasn't crisps or whatever that helped alleviate the pain it was rebalancing the electrolytes via the salt in the peanuts. I think this could explain it anyway but I'm no expert
