==Background==
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
"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 November 16, November 2004 on Hiphopsite.com. It was given away with copies of ''Mm..Food''. The CD contained a recipe for "Villainous Mac & Cheese" by Grammy Dumile on the back of the CD insert.<ref name="mmleftovers"/>
 
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 &#124; 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>

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://musicwww.avclub.com/mf-doom-mm-food-1798200165|title=MF Doom: Mm..
