Is it normal to have food cravings that are this intense?

Sometimes I'll try a new food and be absolutely obsessed with it for days, even weeks afterwards. I'll dream about it and lie awake thinking about it, find myself talking about it often and I'll sometimes go ridiculously out of my way to get it. I get really frustrated when I can't have it and have to eat something else instead.
It's happened with Subway sandwiches, pizza dipped in mayonnaise, chips (or fries to you Americans) with mayonnaise, chips with cheese, watermelon flavour sweets and other things.
I grew up only eating junk food very very occasionally due to health freak parents and now I have complete freedom to eat what I want so maybe that's why? (I still eat quite healthily most of the time though, with those sorts of things mostly being treats when I'm out with friends.)

Anyone else have this happen to them?
