I wish there was chocolate. Tea and coffee for that matter.
Kind of wish that Mercantile CSs also had a bit more variety. In addition to Porcelain and Jewelry, perhaps Glassware (windows, chandeliers, etc.) or Furniture?
More on topic:
I don't really associate any Luxury resource with anything other than what it is, but I do like to imagine what my people are like because of them.
Say I have a city with Citrus, Wine, and Silk. I imagine that the people in that city wear a lot of silk, drink wine, and eat citrus fruits (in addition to having very citric cuisine).

Now I'm imagining that for many millennia the population of my Paris have lived off Beef cooked in Orange juice. ("Ees a local specialty, mon ami..."), while the chaps down the road in Lyons might have lots of iron and marble about, but basically just get mutton all day every day. Meanwhile they go pray in Pagodas, and study at Oxford University of Paris.

What I don't get about LR's is that citrus fruit gives happiness and bananas don't. So I imagine this:
Mother: Here's your fruit salad, my little Tommy!
Tommy: But I only like citrus, mommy.
Mother: But bananas make you grow up to be strong and handsome.
Tommy: But...they don't make me happy, mommy.
Also, why is salt OP? Salt providing 3-4 food is a bit unrealistic. So we all imagine a society living off just salt. Just imagine the health problems.

What I do think, every time that I found a city and later on it "demands" something, is I imagine that city used to be a small child, and then it grew up and started "demanding" things from me, things which are expensive and hard to come by.

Re: salt, it's probably because it was astronomically important in the Middle Ages and before that. Remember that Roman soldiers were paid in it, and that it was the basis for the Songhai trading empire's existence.
As for the original topic, it depends on what civ I'm playing. For example, I tend to avoid citrus, except when I'm playing as Shimazu, when I actively seek it out (because of the then-obligatory "Satsuma" jokes). If anything, the luxuries that I tend to be biased towards are copper and to a lesser extent salt.
I haven't thought of using them to RP but I'll try it now I've read this...
