Care to come up with food and drink names using words/song titles from Bob Dylan songs?

Asked by Jude (32207points) April 17th, 2012

The restaurant is based off of a character in a Bob Dylan song (character “The Jack of Hearts”). Food and beverage items will be sold in the coffee shop/antique shop/art studio, and we want to name them after song titles/characters or lines from Bob Dylan songs.

Thymes there a changing. Chicken with garlic and thyme.

Is that a little closer? ?

I’m not sure that I’d eat it, though.

@Jude, are you looking for puns? or direct allusions, such as Highway 61 Lemon Squares and North Country Patty Melt?

For the most part there’s little upbeat cheer in Dylan’s songs, and I can’t recall any food references in them or much of anything that would sound good with food (Blood on the Tracks, Hard Rain, Desolation Row). Can you give us an example of what you’re looking for?

More so names used in his songs (so I’ve been told by my partner)

For example: “Rosemary’s Raspberry White Chocolate Mocha.

Maybe we’d help you best, then, just by listing names that appear in his songs and leaving the food items to your partner:

Johanna
Maggie
Tom Thumb
Corrina

probably not Judas Iscariot, and also probably not William Zantzinger

Most of the personal-type lyrics just say “you.”

Peggy-O pancakes. From “Pretty Peggy-O”

Ric von Schmidt omelete. From “Baby, Let Me Follow You Down”

Woody Guthrie veggie burger. From “Song to Woody”

Maggie’s farm hashbrowns From “Maggie’s Farm”

It could go on and on. Sarah Jane, Little Sadie, Mr. Bojangles, Sally Sue Brown, Blackjack Davey, Little Maggie, Frankie and Albert, Diamond Joe…Shake Shake Mama has to be on the menu. So many possibilities.

What are your food items?

I reckon that recipes will have to be produced to cope with this influx of brilliant names!

Wasn’t it Bob Dylan that sang “Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road?”

janbb's avatar

@dorgie Are you a folkie?

CWOTUS's avatar

No, just old enough to remember.

janbb's avatar

Remember what?

Skaggfacemutt's avatar

Oh, heck. That would have made an interesting menu item.
