I’m absolutely a latecomer to the party but Shonen Knife’s “Happy Hour” album (from 1998, I believe) is full of food tunes galore. A highlight, in my humble opinion, is Sushi Bar Song.

Nobody for Willie Bobo’s “Fried Neckbones and Some Home Fries”? That’s a surprise. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf1trlNM9vo (Sadly, I could only turn up the Santana version …)

Personally very partial to “French Toast” by Jonas Bonnetta (now Evening Hymns), because it’s the prettiest: http://radio3.cbc.ca/play/band/JONAS-BONNETTA/French-Toast/

Great songs that use a food reference:
Dillinger Escape Plan – Sugar Coated Sour
Iron & Wine – Flightless Bird, American Mouth (that’s about chickens right?)
Radiohead – Packt Like Sardines in a Crushed Tin Box

Great songs actually about food:
Tom Waits – Eggs & Sausage

I’d have to go with two great songs from Have Moicy! (Unholy Modal Rounders et al., 1976), meditating on both food and the digestion thereof: Michael Hurley’s “Slurf Song” and Jeffery Frederick’s “What Made My Hamburger Disappear?”
