yogurt: ladies only

When was the last time you saw a guy devour a yummy cup of yogurt?

Here, Jezebel hypothesizes yogurt is perhaps the most gender-specific food of all. I can't agree entirely -- my dad has yogurt, and only yogurt, for lunch every day -- but I see where they're going. Men just don't get excited by repeated utterances of "fruit on the bottom."

The yogurt piece raises a larger question: Do gender-specific foods exist?

Women are more passionate about some entrees -- tapas, tiramisu, anything from the Olive Garden -- than men. But men are hardly adverse to those entrees.

Can you think of any foods that are distinctly "male" or "female"?
