   Gotta give a shout out Meatloaf. Cream isn't food but they still come to mind also.

   The main one I thought of apart from a few of the ones Thief12 mentioned is a band called King Prawn.

   I tried to stick to bands whose names are basically straight-up food, and not ones that have food mentioned in the name somewhere. Pretty strict, but the rules weren't specified.
   
   A few that sprung to my mind:
   
   Orange Juice (well, a beverage, but whatever)
   Cream (see above)
   Bananarama
   The Lemonheads
   The Sugarcubes
   Salt 'n' Pepa
   Hot Tuna
   Hot Chocolate
   Wild Cherry
   Green Jelly
   The Moldy Peaches
   Taco

      Good call on the "Three Little Pigs" song! Did you know that Maynard James Keenan of Tool and A Perfect Circle fame did the falsetto vocal part on that tune? The bit that goes, "Not by the hair of my chinny-chin-chin" is the man himself...
