Jeremy Laurance writes in an article titled It’s a boy! The science of gender selection (for the Independent):
So it all comes down to the banana. The yellow fruit with the phallic shape – appropriate in this context – is the best dietary aid for intending mothers wanting a boy, according to research published yesterday.

If you are an ice-cream lover and find yourself in Mangalore, go visit Pabba’s, an ice-cream place in Lalbagh.
You get all sorts of ice-creams and sundaes but if you must try just one, go for the gadbad (pronunciation: guh-duh-bud). It’s got jelly (jello), nuts, fruits, and ice-cream all mixed up in a tall juice [...]
Here’s an excerpt from an article titled Food bills getting you down:
It was a lucrative score: two bananas, one half-gallon of organic 2 percent milk, two prepared and packaged Asian-style noodle salads with ginger cilantro lime dressing, one red pepper, one orange pepper, one package prewashed salad, one package Asian stir-fry mix, one package [...]

Presumably that’s part of [...]
I do enjoy the occasional spicy chaat but I wouldn’t call myself a regular chaat person. That said, there is one place in Indiranagar, Karthik’s Mithai on CMH road, where I’ve enjoyed the chaats.
It’s been a while since I’ve been there but when I used to walk by, before the shop was renovated, there [...]
Almost every person that I’ve spoken to about Corner House, an ice-cream place in Bangalore, will bring up the phrase “Death By Chocolate” (DBC if you’re familar with the lingo) when they are talking about Corner House. DBC is not an ancient torture method though I can think of far worse ways to cross over [...]
