Gastronomy inspires many things and is a representation of a country's culture or a specific area, and it also gives rise to strange songs that stick in our heads. And it doesn't always happen that these melodies pay tribute to the ingredient in question; they simply use it as a metaphor or analogy to convey a rhythmic message to the masses. Here are the 5 catchiest songs about food.
Mayonnaise
Artist: Chocolate
You've surely heard this song, and not only that, you've danced to its rhythm and probably enjoyed it. What does the song have to do with mayonnaise? Absolutely nothing, it simply alludes to the action of whisking it like when preparing it, but other than that, it's an upbeat song that you find at both weddings and quinceañeras.

Snail Soup
Artist: Banda Blanca
Another example of the Latin rhythm infused into these food songs. Similarly, it’s a song in the style of a big wedding celebration that nobody seems to like but everyone decides to dance to. It’s always part of the medley of songs halfway through the event and never fails to get more than one person out of their seat.
Escargots a la Bourguignonne
Let It Rain Coffee
Artist: Café Tacuba
Originally a song by Juan Luis Guerra and later taken up by the band famous for songs like Chilanga Banda, it touches on a romantic theme that includes many ingredients. Within the song, you can also hear yuca, honey, wheat, and watercress among others.
Homemade coffee ice cream
The Barbecue
Artist: Georgie Dann
This is a somewhat hidden gem, but that’s what makes it so great. Once you discover it and feel a bit of secondhand embarrassment for having heard it, you won’t be able to stop humming the lyrics that go something like this: How delicious the grilling sausages… How tasty the grilled sausages… How good the lamb chops…

The Taco Feast
Artist: Chava Flores
One might think it’s difficult to make a love song about tacos, but no, everything is possible in the musical world. When someone sings to you: “I explained to you while almost crying that I loved you passionately... You went for the eye, fatty gut, and heart tacos…” it means you truly broke their heart.
