Have you heard the saying that goes “There is no love sincerer than the love of food,”? If you remember a time you didn’t choose food over something else.. Well, you probably haven’t, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves. You may not have chosen something else over food but you will have most likely noticed how well music compliments food.
