Just a mention of any food? Ok, "Who's GOt Extra Love" from Zanna Don't mentions a poptart. And "Sunday" from Tick Tick BOOM mentions a few food items, as well.

Mix martinis, roast the weenies, bake the bilinis now that I'm free - "On My Own" from BELLS ARE RINGING.

All will be pink champagne and gold - "Oh Happy We" from CANDIDE.

Cassanova you must relax. You will exhaust yourself and soon become too stanco. Look, I have prepared a picnic basket, Prosciutto, olives, and of course your favorite vino bianco - "Grand Canal" from NINE.

In the tea my lord, the chrysanthemum tea - "Chrysanthemum Tea" from PACIFIC OVERTURES.

Tea, a drink with jam and bread - guess!

The song before Today4U is a voice mail. In "Today 4 U", there is a mention of Captain Crunch, stoli (I don't know if you can count that as food, though), and some other foods.

Seasons of Love mentions coffee- I don't know if you're taking drinks, as well. And, of course, Santa Fe mentions a restaurant, and I'm pretty sure there are food references in that.

THe opening of La Vie Boheime from Rent is chock full

The Book Report from ...CHARLIE BROWN has a ton of vegetables, as does the witch's "rap" in INTO THE WOODS: "greens, greens nothing but greens..."

Abbondanza and Sposalizio from MOST HAPPY FELLA--lots of italian food!

"I Can Do Better" from Last 5 Years mentions prosciutto

"Happy To Keep His Dinner Warm" from How To Succeed

Edgar's part of "Comfort and Joy" from Bat Boy

there's a song about food in "Violet" whose name escapes me, but it's the 3rd or 4th song in the show

"Year of the Child" and "Days Like This" from Falsettoland
"A soup made from chicken that, though unexotic, is antibiotic! Oy I'm up to my ass in a kosher forass..."

Did anyone mention "You're the Top" yet? There are many food and drink references in the full lyrics.

Taylor (Latte Boy) from Adventures in Love

The song "Too Good To Be Bad" from "The Goodbye Girl" is all about eating the "good" foods-- sweets, chocolate, fats, etc. It's hilarious! Also, I would have to agree with the poster who mentioned "Mabel's Prayer" from "Fame" - what a great song!!

-"Santa Fe" from Rent is about building a restaurant.
-"La Vie Boheme" from Rent is in a restaurant.
-A central theme in Hairspray is the main character's weight, so I'd imagine there are lots of food references there.
-"Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast
-"Go Go Go Joseph" from Joseph; the beginning is with the baker and the butler, who make bread and wine
-"Greased Lightnin'" is by the Burger Palace boys, but that one doesn't count (I just wanted to mention Grease lol)

I just thought of another one, but it has escaped me lol. Ill post again if I remember lol

How about "Apology to a Cow" from Bat Boy?

Bat Boy, who's about to feast on Gertie the Cow:
"I'm sorry, pal, I've got to
I know, I know it's rude
I shouldn't work my problems out with food."
