I didn't have such cravings with my wife. But I do hear about other men having such.
What I experienced with my wife was her sudden craving for ripe mango ASAP during off-season. There simply wasn't a ripe mango on the shelves that day. So I went around friends to actually beg for one. I got lucky with a friend who was about to eat his only mango at home
One day it was our turn to give another friend a favor. His wife craved for the turbo chicken that my wife cooked one night during a gathering at home. So he came with a dressed chicken, along with his wife. They watched the chicken being turbo cooked.
