Food seems to be a much-talked about topic. For instance:

Calzone - The specialty of the Italian place where George wants to be seen
donating change into the charity cup.

Fusili - Type of pasta Kramer used to depict Jerry.

The different types of soup - From "The Soup Nazi".

Marble rye bread - Jerry steals one from the old lady to help George.

Beefaroni - Kramer feeds too much of it to the carriage horse.

Mutton - Jerry stuffs mouthfuls of it into his jacket pockets.

Swordfish soup - The episode where Jerry owes the guy a lunch.

Junior Mint - Infamous episode.

Snicker Bar - George has the Yankee staff eating it with knives.

Bosco - The name for the chocolate syrup that George uses as his ATM
password.

Cereal - Jerry's fave.

Pakistani food - Jerry advises the new restaurant owner to serve ethnic
food.

There are a couple of others I can't remember exactly. Poppi had a specialty
in his restaurant that Jerry wanted Elaine to try. Mrs. Costanza was cooking
something that she was going to serve Jerry's parents on their visit to New
York. And I know Newman must have had some scenes where food was on his
mind.

There was also:

payaya (sp?) - the stuff Mrs. Costanza made "tons of" and wanted to give to
Mr. and Mrs. Seinfeld.

bologna sandwhiches - Mrs. Costanza tried to pawn them off on George, Kramer,
and Jerry.

pizza - Kramer's whole idea about a restaurant where you "make your own pie!"

milk - the incident with Kramer and Susan (I guess liquids are Food
References)

Pez - the Pez dispenser episode

Kasha - George's parents' apt. smells of it

Mackinaw Peach - Newman and Kramer fight over them

Mulligatawny and Seafood Bisque come to mind

It was actually called Beefarino in the show, but it was definitely a
reference to Beefaroni.

And the porkchops he stuffed under the cushions in the same ep.

Mangos and Plantains
Pasta Primavera

and don't forget the day george decides to "go against the grain" and do
everything backwards starting by ordering tuna on whole wheat at monk's,
instead of his "usual" chicken on whole wheat... or something like that...

there was also that episode with the ambulance drivers fighting over that
candy, of which the exact name eludes me at the moment. i remember the
line one of the emt's said "it's fruity, it's delicious."

Let's not forget Juji fruit!

People eat everyday, so I don't think it's so odd to mention food alot.
Food is a large part of most social lives. You go out to eat together.
You take a date out to eat, yadda yadda yadda. Alone or together people,
we gotta eat. :)

kishke, kasha, boiled potatoes, papaya, plantains, canteloupe, mangos

cup of tea, a pair of bear claws, the hot fudge sundae that George

carrot cake, black forest, the black and white cookie, egg white only
omelet, Hennigan's odorless scotch, pasta primavera, jambalaya, apple
pie, pecans, Pez, eggroll, non-fat(?) yogurt, the box of raisins that
George thought that the actor who plays Kramer stole.

This is getting ridiculous!

Don't forget the black and white cookie that Jerry ate that broke his
9-year (or something) streak of not throwing up. It must be a NYC thing
because in upstate we call black and whites half-moons.

Actually, it's 'Beef-A-Reeno'.

Mrs. Costanza cooked a huge amount of paiaya to serve Jerry's parents,
only to be snubbed by them. I think Kramer was invited over to eat it,
but was attacked by Mr. Costanza for wearing his cabana clothes.
Classic.

Until...

A few others no one has mentioned:

Gyros at the Quensborough subway station
Bouillabaise
Prune juice (George served it to the gal from the antique store because
his parents put a lock on the liquor cabinet)
An onion (When he lost his glasses, George starts eating one that he
thinks is an apple)
The special kind of tomatoes that George buys at the Hamptons (misses
out on seeing Jane topless)
Cafe Latte
Consomme (What Banya orders at Mendy's - it's not a meal!)

The candy the ambulance drivers fought over were Ju Ju Bees (compare

What about the famous pasta primavera that made Russell Dalrymple sick
(made by the chef who co-opted Elaine's shoes so that Elaine could do her
equally famous ketchup bit)?!

Dont forget the marble loaf that George's parents stole from Susan's.
Jerry had to get a replacement for George. When he went to get it, they
were sold out, so Jerry stole it from an old lady.

In a later episode, the one in Florida...Jerry's father (president of the
community) was under an impeachment trial. One more vote was needed to
impeach him. The same old lady was on the committee and she was against
impeachment. When Jerry arrived (I think as a character witness), she
remembered his face and voted for impeachment.
