I used to mistake Horseradish for "Dogradish"

My mother and I were once shopping at an Aisan food store. There are foods such as pig tounge and pig blood. I asked my mom why were there so much pig food and she said that you could eat any part of the pig, because the entire pig was edible. I thought this was disgusting and I also thought that if you ate any part of the pigs besides the regular meat, you'd either turn into a pig, or get extremeley sick. When I saw people buying the pig tounge and bood, I'd run away from them!

my dad always told me that the fat on meat was the best bit, it would take me that long to chew through it, my dad would say "let me give you a hand and pinch the meat"

I used to believe that Pepperoni was made from goat meat.

i used to believe that tapioca was fish eggs or fish eyes. one of my grandfathers had said that it was fish eggs while the other said fish eyes. it didnt matter to me because either way it sounded gross. so ive never in my life tried tapioca because every time i see it, i think fish eyes and fish eggs and i immediately lose my appetite...

As an older sister my younger sister Alice looked up to me. One day she said to a group of three of her friends - "My sister eats caterpillars rolled up in leaves". I was horrified, but didn't want to let her down. So I rolled a big hairy caterpillar up in a leaf, chewed it up and swallowed it. I think she idolized me even more after that.

I used to think that any ingredients you could put together would taste good. So I often experimented in the kitchen when my mother was sleeping. Didn't take my long to figure out I was wrong when I mixed chocolate syrup, cheese, and nutmeg and tried to eat it. Nastiest thing I think I've ever tasted.

I used to think that the yellow in store-bought eggs was really a baby chick that didn't hatch. To this day I can only eat them scrambled.

When very young I was stood looking into the window of a butchers with my mum. I pointed at some red meat (I think it was probably liver) and asked my mum what it was. She said Lamb (I don't think she knew which meat I meant). But I heard it as "man" and was convinced from then on that butchers sold human meat!

I stopped eating yoghurt when I was a kid, after I found out it was made from milk that had gone off.

When I was young I used to eat worms. Reason for this was cause I thought it was spaghetti and every time I bring my new pals round my parents tell of my dreadful mistake!!!!

I wouldn't eat brown bread as a child because for some reason I thought it was dirty and therefore boys bread. I belive that came from the old saying little girls are made of surgar and spice and little boys are made of puppy dog tails and snails. Thus snails crawl on the ground I guess making them dirty

my sister used to tell me that peas were caterpillar eggs and when they were coming out of the shell, she used to say they were hatching. needless to say, i didnt eat peas until i was about 12.

i would never eat biscuits with currants in because someone told me they were flies.
