Food Records was a record label set up in 1984 by David Balfe, who later took on Andy Ross as his partner. Originally formed as an independent record label with distribution going through Rough Trade Distribution, Food licenced acts to the Polygram offshoot London and Warner's WEA Records, before becoming closely associated with the EMI group's Parlophone label. In 1988 EMI invested in the label and then in 1994 EMI gained complete control and folded it into Parlophone in 2000.

“Most vegetarians I ever see looked enough like their food to be classed as cannibals.”

“What a wonderful faculty is memory!—the most mysterious and inexplicable in the great riddle of life; that plastic tablet on which the Almighty registers with unerring fidelity the records of being, making it the depository of all our words, thoughts and deeds—this faithful witness against us for good or evil.”
—Susanna Moodie (1803–1885)
