Remembering Cibo Matto
April 29th, 2008 by Cliff Bostock in Food & LifeWe dined at the new Holeman and Finch last night. Among the dishes we ordered was a dessert that featured black-pepper ice cream. This cued Wayne to remember the ’90s band Cibo Matto (Italian for “food madness”) and their song “White Pepper Ice Cream.” I couldn’t find a video of that particular song, but here’s one of “Know Your Chicken,” off the 1996 Viva! La Woman CD, which features nothing but tracks about food:

I remember Cibo Mato- they rocked. Too bad they never really hit it big.

That’s a fantastic CD. I saw Cibo Matto play at Echo Lounge, back when they were touring with Sean Lennon - great show!
