It's a mood thing. Sometimes one and sometimes the other. Cravings are not always explainable.
I prefer sweet stuff much more, got one hell of a sweet tooth (that I keep well brushed). Back in the uni days I used to drink 3 cans of Red Bull a day topped off with chocolates and Haribo galore. It powers me.
Sweet.
I rarely put salt in my food, that's my mum's influence, salt is a Bad Thing - so's sugar but I've always had a sweet tooth![]()
