If we’re going to include Iron Butterfly, there’s also Jellyfish (two foods in one band!). And the Dead Milkmen. And if we’re including fictional bands, there’s Dessert (alternately spelt Desert, Dessart, and Desret), the girl group from Suicide Club. And a real, non-stretch: Coconuts Musume (one of the many, many singing groups that have been part of Hello! Project). ---
