Weekend Cooking: Food and music

If you were on Twitter earlier in the week you may have seen that one of the trending topics was #gleesterchef. What on earth is that? Well, the idea was to combine food (Masterchef which is a really successful TV cooking show here and in the UK. I am not sure but I think it is coming soon to the US) and music (Glee) in a fun way by just by making small changes to the song titles or lyrics. #gleesterchef was started by Australia comedian Adam Hills, and was lots and lots of fun as more and more people got involved (or it was until the spammers got hold of the hashtag).

Here are just a couple of my favourites.

@noxceptions: #gleesterchef 'Cause I'm a crepe. I'm a weird dough. What the hell am I doughing here? I donut belong here

@heath76: #gleesterchef It's A Long Way To The Shop If You Want A Sausage Roll

@pattypoopants #gleesterchef they tried to make me eat a kebab, I said no, no, no!

@AceRimmerAdel: Like a bat out of hell, I'll be gone when the Mornay comes #gleesterchef

If I was going to make an entry it would probably have been Peaches of You by The Last Goodnight, mainly because I always thought that was what they were saying anyway. I knew it wasn't right because it didn't make any sense, but still.



What reading all the #gleesterchef tweets did make me think of for this week's Weekend Cooking post was songs about food or that could be linked to food! Now I am sure that there are hundreds of songs I could pick from but I thought I would start with just a few. I might come back to this topic in future posts.

One of my favourites would have to be Raspberry Beret by Prince, the Artist Formally Known as you know who I mean. I can't embed this song though because he is really strict on not allowing his music on Youtube.

I am possibly showing my age here, because one of the first songs I thought of was Cherry Pie by Warrant:



Move forward a few years into the early 2000s and UK singer Craig David had a hit with Flava



And another song about Peaches, this time by Presidents of the United States. Now I like peaches, and other fruit a lot, but I am not sure I would ever actually write a song about them!



Do you have any fun ideas for #gleesterchef? Do you have some favourite foodie songs?
