I also thought that meat balls were made from testicals

To make me and my brother eat our brussel sprouts at xmas, my dad told me and my bro that they were magic miniture cabbages from china.

He sed that he would be very disapointed if we didnt eat them cos they cost thousands of pounds

I will never drink a cup of tea to the bottom, as when I was about seven my younger brother convinced me that the tea leaves were poisonous if swallowed

Anon

I used to believe that peanut butter was lobster poo.

I used to think my mum made bread pudding with "mouldy" bread and would never eat it - until I married and made my own. Reason being, when my mum used to have mouldy bread to get rid of she would soak it in water and flush it down the toilet! When making bread pudding she used to soak the bread in milk first - I used to see the bread soaking and thought....... enough said !!

I didn't eat french fries for 10 years once because a spider fell off the ceiling, bounced off my lip and landed on my plate when I was munching on some fries. I thought the spider came out of the fries.

My brother, Myles Kidd, was really gullible as a kid. I told him that Tapioca was spawn of the Canadian bullfrog, and that the slightly pink processed cheese we ate was that colour because it had cows blood in it. As we were fed these foods regularly, mealtimes usually ended in tears. (He's still really gullible!)

During the African famine of 84 and 85, my mum served me up these ice cream things covered with chocolate. I would not eat them as they looked like tits and thought that the tits were cut off from dead women and shipped over here for puddings.

My mother once told me that the scum on the top of the pan when boiling potatoes was good for your eyesight. I was eating that stuff for weeks before I caught her laughing!

When I was four, a person in my primary class often took liver sandwiches to school. At this point I didn't understand that other animals had livers, so I thought it was human liver. Nobody told me any differently, and because this other kid was doing it, I assumed it was okay, but I would never eat that stuff.

I know the difference now, but I still won't eat liver.

My aunt used to fry eggplant, It was her favorite vegetable. She told me that they were chicken nuggets. She told me what they really were, and I never ate my aunt's supposed chicken nuggets again.

Claire

until i was about 11, i used to think that the 'quiche' i saw advertised on my school dinners' board, was a mysterious nasty-sounding food, pronounced 'kwichy'. mmmmmm.

To get us to eat Liver, my mom used to call it Velvet Steak. (Steak was a very rare treat) So we were always excited about it, until we figured it out in our teens. For some reason it tasted better when it was called Velvet Steak!

When we were younger My cousin and I went to the next town where a fair was going on. They had this really cool trailer where a man was sitting in there biting off the heads of snakes and bats. He had snake and bat bodies laying all over on the floor. My cousin and I went on to other things and then came back later to see the man again. All the body parts were cleaned up. When it was time to go home. Mom was in the house making supper, said we were having a special treat. We were called in for supper and lo and behold there on the plate were these little slices of perfectly round green fried snakes. We took off running saying we were not hungry. When we got back home Dad asked why we left in a hurry and we told him about the snakes and bats and then the supper Mom had made, and we WERE NOT EATING SNAKE. Dad laughed and told us it was zucchini. Well it looked pretty convincing to us! UGH!

When I was younger, my father told me the lumps in tapioca pudding were frog eyes... I still can't eat tapioca to this very day...

That eating dry bread would give you worms.

My uncle once told me when I was little that green peas were actually alien boogers. I still ate them though. I love veggies!

I used to believe that green peas were poison pellets. My Mom still made us clean our plates, luckily I had a brother and 2 sisters who helped out in the clean your plate dept. Once she stayed at the table so we couldn't swap out so I swallowed them whole figuring if they weren't smashed, no poison would leak. Unfortunately i came down w/ the flu that night, threw up all those peas. I just knew one must have broke open and poisoned me!!!!

CinDee Johnson

i used to believe that the smurfs lived in ordinary mushrooms and i would never eat them!!!
