This is a great website. I knew there must be more of us! I have been eating ice for so long that I can't really remember when I started. My earliest memory is when I was about 10. The family were visiting my nanie & grandad and for some reason I asked if I could have the tray of ice from their fridge. The family thought this was a bit strange, and my sister always remembers eating ice gave me a stomach ache (I don't remember this though). My nanie was very obliging and let me have the ice. I am now a hardened ice addict but have recently cut down from about 5 trays of ice (consumed over and over through the day/night) to 3 trays (albeit one is a 32 cube capacity). I have become worse recently, as I have just started to take a container of ice out with me in the car. I don't know about anyone else, but doesn't it take a long time to eat several trays of ice?? It's such a waste of time, but I enjoy it.
Anyway, I am new to this site, but was wondering a) is there a UK website? and b) is there anyone out there from the UK?
P.S. I think there is something in the iron deficiency theory. I have always been anaemic. I am going to get my blood checked soon just out of interest (haven't had it checked for 3 yrs). Will keep you posted on that.
P.P.S. Happy crunching!
