Food and music are the two great loves of most people I know. Strangely, though, there seem to be very few songs written about food, perhaps because people are too busy eating it-- or, if you're Tina Fey, working it into the plotlines of your amazing and wonderful and hilarious television show-- to sing about it. Hmm. Doesn't seem fair. While you're pondering this, take a bite out of these 17 songs I've cobbled (mmm, cobbler!) together, all with titles referencing food or related to the consumption thereof, most of which aren't actually about food or the consumption thereof, but that will probably make you at least a little bit hungry. Snack time!
