I wonder how much of this is cultural/emotional.

I'm ethnically Indian, and grew up with white rice as by far the dominant carb in my diet. To this day, I'm not particularly fond of bread (though I like crusty, soft-crumbed bread like french baguettes from time to time). However, if I go more than a week without a rice based dish, I crave it on a visceral level.

Which carb you crave is probably cultural, but craving of carbs seems to be pretty universal.
