Culinary Christmas - December 22: Frosty the Snowman

Featured Foods: Corn

Move over Jimmy Durante. Ella Fitzgerald lights it up today with her rendition of Frosty the Snowman.

This contribution to Steve's 25 Days of Christmas Music is pure class. I just love the prelude lyrics you hear right away (though I'm having trouble figuring out line 3… any help?)

Who's debonair with a tall silk hat
Muffler of wool and a tummy that's fat
King for a day and he loves [to roam?]
With a broomstick cane and a heart of gold

And I bet you didn't know that this song referenced food, did you? Yup… "corncob pipe"! Hey, it works for our Culinary Christmas!
