my family is part polish and my grandmother would cook polish food a lot. most of it had cabbage in it, which i disliked as a child. my grandfather told me i should eat it because it would "put hair on my chest". i really thought i would start growing chest hair (im female) and firmly refused to eat it... his psychology didnt work very well.
