"Kon Queso" was originally released under the name "Yee Haw" on a [[12 inch single]] in July 2003 with Molemen.<ref>{{cite web |title=MF Doom - Yee Haw |url=https://www.discogs.com/MF-Doom-Yee-Haw/release/226222 |website=Discogs |access-date=18 March 2021 |archive-date=19 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210219072028/https://www.discogs.com/MF-Doom-Yee-Haw/release/226222 |url-status=live }}</ref> The track was re-recorded for ''Mm..Food'' with a more laidback performance from MF Doom. "Vomitspit" is a new version of the song "Vomit", with a different beat and some changed lyrics.<ref name="mmleftovers">{{cite web |title=MF Doom – Mm..LeftOvers |url=https://www.discogs.com/MF-Doom-MmLeftOvers/release/375551 |website=Discogs |access-date=18 March 2021 |archive-date=19 February 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210219094337/https://www.discogs.com/MF-Doom-MmLeftOvers/release/375551 |url-status=live }}</ref> The original release of the album included a different version of "Kookies". It was removed due to an unlicensed sample from ''[[Sesame Street]]'', and was promptly changed to a simpler version of the song in all future physical and digital releases.
A bonus disc titled ''Mm..LeftOvers'' containing throwaway tracks and remixes from ''Mm..Food'' was released on
The album cover's art director was Jeff Jank, and painting by Jason Jagel. The original painting included a [[Blunt (cannabis)|blunt]] that was later edited out.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.stonesthrow.com/news/jagel-doom-mm-food-art-print/ | title=JASON JAGEL X MF DOOM: MM FOOD | Stones Throw Records | access-date=27 September 2022 | archive-date=27 September 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220927141125/https://www.stonesthrow.com/news/jagel-doom-mm-food-art-print/ | url-status=live }}</ref>
In August 2024, MF Doom received a posthumous [[RIAA]] Gold certification for two singles released from ''Mm..Food'' - "Hoe Cakes" and "One Beer".

''Mm..Food'' garnered acclaim upon release. At [[Metacritic]], it was given an average score of 81, based on 22 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".<ref name=mc/> Ryan Dombal of ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'' wrote, "''Mm..Food'' flips countless edible metaphors over hard-hitting, jazzy beats, while never devolving into pointless parody."<ref name="ew"/> David Jeffries of [[AllMusic]] called it "as vital as anything he's done before and entirely untouched or stymied by the hype."<ref name="allmusic"/> ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]''{{'}}s Nick Sylvester called ''Mm..Food'' "an attempt to make good on Doom's almost fascist conceit to restore rap's golden age despite its loss of innocence."<ref name="pitchfork"/> [[Nathan Rabin]] of ''[[The A.V. Club]]'' called the album "a crazy pastiche tied loopily together around obsessions with food, comic books, and supervillainy" and wrote that Doom is "exempt from the law of diminishing returns."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://
