 food-themed music

Off the wall question: can anyone please tell me some repertoire involving food? I have the Martinu "La revue de cuisine" but that's all so far. It doesn't specifically need to be originally for clarinet - I can transcribe it....solos, small ensembles, anything.

THANKS!

Le Revue de Cuisine - Bohuslav Martinu

I'd post the synopsis of the piece, but my brother is borrowing the CD from me. It's basically the story of a love triange between some kitchen euqipment.

This (and I think probably 75% of those listed so far) aren't really what I'd consider "food-themed" ... at least in the digestive sense ...

The 1933 version of "Pigfoot" was Bessie Smith's last recording of it. She performed it with "Buck and His Band" ("Buck" was Buck Washington; Goodman was on clarinet; the band also included Jack Teagarden on trombone).

A player whose name was Sabine
Just could not stop drinking caffeine.
She had 6 before brunch
And drank 5 after lunch.
Enough to sink a small submarine.
