Not sure if this is the right area, and I've always had the problem so it's not menopause related, however last night I ate a chicken burger stuffed with cheese and bacon, and despite scraping half of the stuffing out more than 24 hours later I'm still incredibly thirsty 
I've tried cleaning my teeth, mouthwash, ice cream, yogurt in addition to my breakfast cereal, lunchtime sandwich, chicken with veg for dinner plus drinking enough liquid to float a cruise liner!
It's a similar story if I eat something with a couple of bacon bits sprinkled on top (although the above "fixes" usually help!) and even after the odd bacon butty.
I just wondered if anyone else had the same problem or could suggest some alternative solutions.

Hi - I am not sure if it is menopause related as such, but I have noticed in the past year or so, that salty things taste really really salty.  I don't get the thirst as such, but just can't tolerate salt.  I have read that taste buds change over the years. I am not sure why you would continue to feel really thirsty - maybe someone else can help.

Don't eat processed burgers?  Cheese is salty.  Bacon is salty  .  DH makes ours from scratch …….. 

Having said that, often I tell Himself that food tastes 'off' or 'funny' and he tells me that it's hormones again  .  Even chocolate doesn't taste the same as years ago
