Rap and food go hand in hand, from 2 Chainz's album liner notes cookbook #MealTime to the iconic Notorious B.I.G. line "go fill my belly, a T-bone steak, cheese eggs, and Welch's grape." With that in mind, we rounded up the best rap and R&B songs with food (metaphorical or otherwise) in the title. (Sorry, "Lollipop," you didn't make the cut.)

With eight food-related titles — "Aged Manchego," "Mofongo," "Roasted Bone Marrow," "Chilli Chicken Hakka Style," "Shiraz," "Dabble in Truffles," "Ceviche," and "Amuse Pusche" — this mixtape from the former chef and Vice host had to be included. (Its title also inspired our headline.)
