It is a very common belief held by many in Northern Ireland, including myself, when younger, that corned beef was made from Argentinian horses. For those of you from NI reading this. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I had to explain this to my 25 year old wife just the other day.........

I used to think that the unpopped kernels in popcorn were the popcorn "seeds". I didn't know that you had to put popcorn in the microwave, so I thought that if youy planted the popcorn seeds in the ground, it would turn into a popcorn tree.

i was told that if we made a noise whilst a cake was baking in theoven it wouldn't rise.
it was only when i tried to keep the rest of the cookery class quite during a cake baking lesson that i realised it was my mothers way of keeping myself and my siblings quiet for a while.

My parents made me believe that if I ate lamb I would get the wool stuck between my teeth!! Pretty scary when you still believe this when you get older and that is your first meal at your in-laws!!!

When I was 8 my brother told me that nutella was produced by a married couple. The man called Nut and the woman called Ella. Foolishly enough, I believed everything my brother told me! Soon enough my friends informed me that I was wrong...lol

My Dad told me that Lamb was man made in a factory, 'cos I wouldn't eat it if I knew it had ben running around in a field.
I believed this for 3 years.

The Colonel Sanders logo as seen on Kentuky Fried Chicken signs just shows the colonel's head and a little early american style bow tie under his chin. Only I always thought the bow tie was actually a little stick-figure body that his oversized head was attached to.

I used to believe that the K.F.C. bucket on top of the pole had real chicken in it, only larger pieces and wondered where they got the large chicken.
