Labor Inducing Foods?

DiggI don't know if there's truth to certain foods bringing on labor. But there seems to be a correlation.
I heard there is some "eggplant parmesan lore" around these parts that is popular with preggos trying to get the ball rolling. I can't recall the restaurant that serves the dish though. Anyone?
But what I do remember is that two years ago tonight I had some Famous Dave's Devil's Spit BBQ sauce on my chicken. My water broke a few hours later.
Vivian, my little angel , arrived shortly thereafter. The whole process may have been influenced by that spicy Devil's Spit sauce. ( she is a bit of a spitfire, that's for sure)
With Ben it was Red Curry from Pad Thai on Grand. Yum!
