It's fat; "fat is what makes food taste good" is an excellent maxim for cooks.
Well, that, and sugar, and freshness, and fermentation, and...
We'd be lost without fermentation. No pickles! No beer!
Smell and presentation help a lot, too. Eat blindfolded with a clothes peg on your nose sometime for less fun.
Finally, food chemists. Thank 'em for those mysterious "natural and artificial flavourings" in ingredient lists.

Um, because those are the foods you like?
Taste is subjective. What you may crave may totally turn me off. and vice versa.

Most of the foods we crave aren't good for us. foods that are bad for us make us feel happy too, real comfort foods, so our body wants us to have them to release lots of happy hormones!
At the moment i crave pizza hut which sucks because i'm allergic to the bases!

depends on individual taste but the reason we crave carbs ( sugars and starches) is that the blood sugar is raised on eating them, drops quickly leaving you feeling tired and in need of another blood sugar lift ! eat more protein and balance proteins with carbs.

It's all a matter of one's tastebuds. Where you may get cravings for liver and onions, or pickles and cheese, I may get a craving for twix and ice cream or cream cheese and jelly.
It's weird. Although it's one's personal liking, we all do it.

because they taste so dam good but some aren't good for us and the longer we go with out them the more we want them or just the thought of them makes us want them plus seeing commercials on tv makes us want them more
