   hehehehe I know all about craving vinegar, I love salt n vinegar chips because of the vinegar taste and anything I can put vinegar on I love lol    
I know in my case it's not lacking anything, it's just a preggy thing as I had bloods done

   Apparently extra salt is good if you are getting (leg) cramps... and since I've had them on and off I'm quite happy to keep the salt intake up for a couple more weeks! Funny thing is, I KNOW I'm adding more salt in our dinners but I can't taste any difference

   I thought that as well but it still hasn't stopped me jumping out of bed at about 4am    to get rid of a leg cramp. I read somewhere that having a banana smoothie helps leg cramps so i'm having a banana every night now before bed and that seems to have helped with a glass of milk.

   I don't think taking a teaspoon of salt when the cramps come on would help, it's more a general increase in diet thing.... but there are other things my mw suggested to me too. I haven't tried them because I've never had bad cramps longer than a couple of days. They are Dolomite Powder, or Magnesium Supplements (from Health & Vitality).
