No Stupid Questions

I think its just a sudden crave of taste and it is represented via familiarity.

eg: craving something sweet or salty

that person just associated the salty with the wings.

youll find this with some people will crave gummy worms or specific chocolate bar and its just the sweetness.

later in life as you learn how your body works youll just grab the closest thing available if that thing isnt around.

The boston legal thing i get cuz once in a while dont we all crave a bit of James Spader now and again? that's a flavour you cant substitute.

I understand it as "brain hunger" rather than actual hunger. Ideation around food noise, you know?

Regarding activities, I usually find I crave certain activities when I get burnt out on other activities and need a break from that activity while staying occupied. For instance, if I'm doing a lot of writing at work, I may crave a spatially stimulating activity at home. It is my mind signaling I'm doing too much of one activity and I need a different one to keep from wearing out.

its a craving. it just is. maybe something stimulates it but from my experience it can be pretty random.

I think back to times I've eaten a thing and remember the sensation, then try replaying the feeling to see if it would be just as satisfying.

At the moment, I'm in the mood for a snack. I'm thinking about the dried fruit I had yesterday and the sensations it elicited when I ate it. Those same sensations of flavor and texture sound agreeable, so I'm thinking that would be nice.

Not everyone has this form of recall all the time. Some people have it intermittently. I asked my partner what she wanted to eat and she said she could not tell if she was hungry or if any food sounded good. I took this as a warning and we stopped at the nearest restaurant immediately. Fortunately, this was the right decision and we both felt better afterwards.

If you're feeling hungry, imagine the smells of a food. Sense memory tends to run deep in people. If you find that you can't recall or reject a sensation, that's okay! Plenty of folks are in the same situation.

On my commute I like to play a game "what Iam in the mood for?" - I usually have to discard the first three things, then focus on foods I usually don't think of.
First three if interested: fried chicken, tenders chocolate bar (Milka) and cake. Tho sometimes I do play what kinda cake I would want.
Usually I end up not eating anything ftom the list - but I have fun without gaining back weight.

Probably your friend has a 'background process' that supplies him with what in the mood answers all the time.

I donno, you just do. It's hard to explain, one time I was going home at like 8pm and I wanted KFC potatoes and gravy, i didn't want store in a container, instant, real mashed. I specifically wanted KFC and only KFC. I don't I was there for a year or two before that.
