Up until I was 16 I never ate mince pies at Christmas because I believed they were made of beef mince meat! I could never understand why people would want to eat meat pies with sugar on top!!
A childhood belief about general

others believed things like this
- When I was six my sister told me Meat Pies were made from mashed up rats...to this day I can't eat a Meat Pie.— Jamie
- When you are very poor you "can't make end's meat." End's meat is some sort of cheap very low quality meat.— Betty
- my brother used to believe that Ground Chuck meat was actually groundhog meat. Anon
- I used to believe that if I didn't jump off the escalator in time I would be chopped up like mince.— Jodie
- Little Debbie put her boogers in her oatmeal piesAnon
- I thought ground beef was the meat they scraped off the ground at the slaughterhouse. Yuck.Anon
