I found out that Harry Belafonte's "The Banana Boat Song (Day-O)" was number one on this date in 1957. It's always been — probably thanks to the scene in Beetlejuice — one of my favorite food songs. Luckily for us, it is just one of many great songs about food.
I had so much fun last time we played this game, that I decided we should do it again. So tell me, which of these are real food songs, and which are fake? Think you can tell? Source

I had such a good time taking Yum's Is It a Real Food Song or a Fake? quiz, I thought it would be fun to do a Christmas carol version! A ton of Christmas songs mention food.
I've listed the food portion of the lyrics and you have to match it to the Christmas carol. Ready to play?

On Dec. 18, 1965, Herb Alpert's "Taste of Honey" was number one on the charts. It's from the album Whipped Cream and Other Delights and is so quintessentially 60s. I also love that the song — along with nearly every other song on that album — is named after food. Fortunately for all of us food inspired music doesn't stop with Herb Alpert, in fact, there have been a ton — a highly accurate term if I may say so myself — of them since.
I've rounded up a few of my faves, as well as a bunch of fakes. Now you need to tell me, is it a real food song, or something I cooked up? Ready to play? Source
