In the field of folklore, "foodways" is the study not just of food itself, but the wide range of social and cultural practices surrounding food—from cultivation and harvesting to preparation, feasting, and even songs sung during those processes. In fact, foodways could be considered the most visible and daily "folkways" of a community, so it follows that the Folkways catalog boasts a wealth of songs—traditional, original, and experimental—pertaining to food. In these tracks food can be a source of enjoyment, desire, labor, community—or a metaphor for something else entirely! This curated playlist by feminist record label SPINSTER, which recently explored the connection between food and sound on their 2023 compilation Measure, Pour & Mixtape: Music for Cooking, brings together food songs from across the Folkways catalog for a sonic meal of snap beans, potatoes, cornbread, pie, singing turkeys, and more, paired with blueberry wine and served by a well-tipped waitress.
