Second song in this performance by Shel Silverstein is a partly sung/partly spoken rendering of one of the foodiest poems of all time - Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would Not Take the Garbage Out.

This link starts just before that poem/song.

Musical OLIVER -

Food, Glorious Food!
Hot sausage and mustard!
While we're in the mood --
Cold jelly and custard!


Just picture a great big steak --
Fried, roasted or stewed.
Oh, food, wonderful food,
Marvellous food, glorious food.


Sincerely,
Gargoyle

Pretty sure there's been a previous long thread on this, to which I posted my two food songs: here's the first: (if you want any explanation or the recipe, it's all in the song lyrics!)

JANET’S STOVIES                                                © Trish Santer 20.10.06.
                                                                                        
Dedicated to Janet Weatherston, who makes such superlative stovies.
Chorus
Janet’s stovies are the best
We lo’e them abune the rest,
But we ha’e only ane request,
Bring us a plate o’ stovies.

Slice yer onions nice and thin
Fry them gently, then throw in
Loads o’ tatties wi’oot skin,
You’ve started makkin’ stovies.
Salt and pepper tae your taste,
Scraps o’ meat ye neednae waste,
Cannae be in awfy haste
When yer makkin’ stovies.

Mak’ them in yer muckle pot
Dinnae ha’e the ring ower hot,
Let them sweat until ye’ve got
A gey guid pan o’ stovies.
Stovies ayeways fill ye up
Skoosh them in a plate or cup,
Dinnae bide, jest serve us up
Oor Janet’s hamely stovies.

She mak’s them for the Christmas ceilidh,
Tops them aff wi’ sprigs o’ holly,
You micht think that awfy silly,
Daein’ that wi’ stovies.
When Burns supper cam’s aroond,
In the kitchen she’ll be foond,
Haggis, neeps and tatties roond,
But ye cannae beat her stovies.

Of stovie-makkin’ she’s the master,
Better than a bowl o’ pasta,
Mak’s the eightsome reel gae faster
Efter Janet’s stovies.
Never gi’e ye constipation,
Ideal form of regulation
Maybe too much information,
But that’s why we tak’ stovies.

Final chorus: Stovies, stovies, stovies, stovies,(x3)
We lo’e Janet’s stovies.

And to follow that, here's my pizza song:

THE PIZZA SONG                        © Trish Santer - Oct 2002
                                                

Chorus
Well, you can't eat that pizza, 'cos it's mine,
I bought it for a very special reason,
There ain't another pizza quite like it in the world,
So leave it in that freezer just a-freezin'.

I went to Tesco's Friday 9 p.m.,
I waited for the girl with the stickers and the marker pen,
When she marked that pizza down to less than half a crown
I had the very best bargain in the end.

Chorus

It may be just a simple Margarita,
But I have plans to make it taste much sweeter,
With a full tin of anchovies, and half a pound of stovies,
And pepperoni, cheese and more tomater.

Chorus

I'm saving it for after the theater,
We won't have time to eat till so much later,
It's then when we're both starving, that pizza we'll be halving,
So tonight you'd better have a baked potater.

Chorus

So now it's at the bottom of the freezer,
Where maybe it could be forgot for ever,
But in a year or two, when it's perma-frosted through,
I'll be so glad I kept that bargain pizza.

Chorus

I'm surprised nobody's mentioned Hamish Imlach's History of Football:

The guests gasped when at last a treat was fin'lly brought:
On a wooden plate the steamin' great dumplin' pipin' hot ....

.... though that too turned out to be inedible.

Oh, the praties they are small
Over here, over here,
Oh, the praties they are small
Over here.
Oh, the praties they are small,
And we dig them in the fall,
And we eat them skins and all,
Over here.

Oh, I wish that we were geese
Night and morn, night and morn,
Oh, I wish that we were geese,
Night and morn.
Oh, I wish that we were geese,
For they fly and take their ease
And they live and die in peace
Eatin' corn.

(An emigrant song from the Famine.)

Which reminds me of this verse but I'm not sure it counts?

If I were a squirrel and I lived in an oak tree
I'd eat lots of nuts and grow fat
Then lie on the limb of a tree in the sun
Oh, what could be nicer than that?
