curve.

A 1997 investigation into the unexpected relationship between certain foods and the female silhouette, beginning with pasta and expanding outward.

Other foods that enlarge the bust

Halved ripe avocados on marble

Avocado

Rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E, the avocado appears to encourage localized plumpness when consumed daily. Several readers report a noticeable roundness after two weeks of generous portions with every meal.

Glass bottle of whole milk

Whole Milk & Cream

The high butterfat content of unskimmed dairy seems to mimic the effect of pasta, particularly when taken warm before bed. One correspondent claims a full cup size after a month of cream in her coffee.

Scattered raw almonds on linen

Almonds & Cashews

These nuts, eaten by the handful throughout the day, deliver a steady supply of healthy oils. The effect is slower than pasta yet cumulative, especially when paired with olive oil drizzled over vegetables.

“I noticed the same phenomenon with spaghetti as you describe. After adding a daily bowl of linguine in cream sauce, my measurements increased by nearly two inches within three weeks. The effect reversed when I switched to plain rice.” — Mrs. E. Lang, Surrey, 1997

A note on preparation

The most dramatic results appear when the foods are enjoyed in their richest forms: fresh pasta with butter, avocados mashed with olive oil, almonds soaked overnight in cream. Moderation is unnecessary for the desired outcome.

All observations remain strictly anecdotal and delightfully unscientific.
