It's National Blueberry Month in America. Melissa D'costa digs her spoon into the best Blueberry desserts the city offers to tell you where you should stop by for a sweet ending



When the popstar visited Mumbai with then husband and filmmaker Guy Ritchie (see pic), she stopped by at Mediterranean SoBo eatery Moshe's, for an intimate meal with him and Shantaram author Gregory David Roberts. After numerous rounds of chai and a sampling of the menu, the chef presented the celebrity with Carrot Cake, Blueberry Cheesecake and Chocolate Mousse. Madonna is said to have used her spoon to slice off a portion of the cheesecake, and said between moans, "Mmm, God! It's better than sex. Seriously, try this!" Considering Ritchie told the media after their spilt, that when he did make love to Madonna, it was "like cuddling up to a gristle...", we are sure the cheesecake experience must have been better.
