Been a long time since I've posted on the site.

I've been thinking of featuring a food related show and came across one that surprising I don't think has been listed in this thread

Louis Jordon - Boogie Woogie Blue Plate

Not great to dance to, but one I came across a while back that cracked me up:

Doris Day - "Tacos, Enchilada and Beans".

Ray McKinley also does a version.

I can see Peas and Cornbread getting into a fight. Beans was helping out cornbread since they go hand in hand.

"Bernaise" - Rebecca Kyler Downs from the album Love Me Like Candy. And, well, "Love Me Like Candy", off the same album. And "My Sugar Is So Refined" from the same album.

"How Do You Like Your Eggs In The Morning "- Arne Fogel & Maude Hixson from their album "Let's Not Be Sensible". And "When I Take My Sugar To Tea" from the same album.

"I'm Putting All My Eggs In One Basket" - The Boilermaker Jazz Band from the album "Give Me Your Telephone Number". Of course, eggs aren't referred to in the context of eating in this song. Fred Astaire also did this song, included on the album "The Essential Fred Astaire" (which frankly isn't all that great).

"Hey, Good Lookin'" - The Boilermaker Jazz Band from the album "Linger Awhile". The second isn't strictly about food, but the "Whatcha got cookin'?" might be close enough. Oh yeah, and this particular version of the song is instrumental.

"Life Is So Peculiar" - Louis Jordan & Louis Armstrong from the soundtrack to the movie "Love Affair". The reference is to food in general -- "And when I get hungry, there ain't nothin' to eat but food..."

"Candy" - BellCats, from their self-titled album. (Minneapolis group [defunct?] headed up by Robert Bell of Twin Cities Hot Club fame). On the same album you'll also find "Minnie The Moocher" and "Peaches 'n' Swing". Though "Peaches 'n' Swing" has more of a latin groove going.

Also instrumental, "Herbs and Spice" by Reynold D. Philipsek, also of TC Hot Club fame, from his album "Grey Chalet". Though gypsy jazz isn't to everyone's liking.

"Princess Poo-poo-ly Has Plenty Papaya" - Big Kahuna & The Copa Cat Pack from their album "Shake Those Hula Hips". Awesome blow-out-the-stops big band sound on this track, though I think the song may actually be about sex.

There's also a few songs that make reference to particular restaurants, or to eating in general, that could be appropriate to a "food set".
