Being fond of good food and craving for a particular dish are not the same thing.

Thanks for the comment. I just did an edit. So piggish or greedy for food is probably better.

<p>I remember there is something that translates closely to "mouth itches", you say it when you want to express a craving for a certain food. </p>

"mouth itches"? 嘴痒. However, formally it means "craving for saying something". (Anyway, I won't feel strange when anyone uses 嘴痒 to "crave for a certain food".)
