Food, glorious food!
Hot sausage and mustard!
While we're in the mood -- Cold jelly and custard!
Pease pudding and saveroys,
What next is the question?
Rich gentlemen have it, boys --In-di-gestion!
Food, glorious food!
We're anxious to try it.
Three banquets a day -- Our favourite diet!
Just picture a great big steak --Fried, roasted or stewed.
Oh, food,
Wonderful food,
Marvellous food,
Glorious food!
Food, glorious food!
What is there more handsome?
Gulped, swallowed or chewed --Still worth a king's ransom.
What is it we dream about? What brings on a sigh?
Piled peaches and cream, about
Six feet high!
Food, glorious food!
Eat right through the menu.
Just loosen your belt
Two inches and then you
Work up a new appetite.
In this interlude --The food,
Once again, food!
Fabulous food!
Glorious food!
Food, glorious food!
Don't care what it looks like --
Burned! Underdone! Crude!
Don't care what the cook's like.
Just thinking of growing fat -- Our senses go reeling
One moment of knowing that
Full-up feeling!
Food, glorious food!
What wouldn't we give for
That extra bit more --That's all that we live for
Why should we be fated to
Do nothing but brood
On food,
Magical food!
Wonderful food!
Marvellous food!
Fabulous food!
Glorious FOOD!
Thai food is really the very best food I've ever tasted--and nothing like the Thai food I've eaten in the States. One night Cameron and I polished off 4 meals! Granted the portions were small, but still...it's light and fresh, not oily, and runs the gamut from oh-so-spicy to very mild. Anything with basil and cilantro and garlic was simply unbelievable! Ava is very sensitive to anything even mildly spicy, and Noah is quite picky, so the two of them ate literally nothing but omelettes, watermelon, and fries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a whole week. Oh wait...they did pass by a couple waffle stands and branched out with a chocolate waffle. Goofballs!
If you're wondering, the top pic is skewers of squid. I didn't eat them, but I have eaten them here in Beijing and they're really good. Then you have fried quail eggs...they used a round pans with little dimples, like a muffin tin, to cook them. Then you have some gelatinous noodles in squid ink--given how good noodles are there, it might be good, except it was served cold. Then you've got the ubiquitous food cart serving up a fantastic pad thai, and succulent shrimp and mussels.

Thank you for identifying the photos -- I was trying to figure the things out but wasn't very close with my guesses.
And now that song is stuck in my head!~
Ditto on all Karen said, though I did recognize the squid ink.
