food

Up until a few years ago, I thought that Cafe Au Lait (french for coffee with milk) was spelled exactly like it was pronounced, ie Cafe Ole.

I thought that matadors must have invented this or drink this alot because it was named after the cheer for their sport

My dad made me belive ever since I was born that ketchup was called applesauce, and applesauce was called ketchup. One day I went to a restraint and got a hamburger, and I ask for some applesauce on it. The waiter just looked at me like "huh?" My parents explained to her that I really wanted "KETCHUP" on my hamburger, not applesauce.

when I began fifth grade, we had a quiz. Our teacher, Mr. Cringler, would ask us a question, then call on someone to answer. But Junie, my friend, taught everyone how to do sign language so we could sign everyone the answers. When he asked, "Where does milk come from?" He called on me. Every one was signaling milk, but I kept shaking my head and said, "From the store."

For awhile, I was allowed to eat dinner in front of the TV, but one time my mother served me some brown stuff on a plate & I thought it was poo. I couldn't bring myself to eat it.

My parents said that I got so interested in the TV that I forgot to eat, & wouldn't let me do that anymore. When I grew up, I told my mum about it, & she didn't believe me, because of course I knew she wouldn't serve me poo. Well, I didn't know that at all.

When I was a kid, somebody told me that there was formic acid (which is called "antz acid" in german)in mentos.
Thenceforwards i really believed that mentos is made out of squashed antz.
So i avoided eating it.

In order for my mom to get me to eat certain foods she would assighn them different names. She would call tomatoes cherry tomatoes and since i love fruit i would eat them. She also called fried egss bubble eggs. I think I was about 15 and we went to a resturant and someone asked me what kind of eggs i wanted and I said Bubble eggs please. I was totally emberassed when I found out that Bubble eggs were really fried eggs.

When I was about 5, I was at school and saw an African American drinking chocolate milk. I then thought that chocolate milk made your skin darker, so I started drinking more of it since I was pale.

I used to believe that is you ate chewing gum you'd die so I never went near it. I screamed and cried when my big sister ate it as I thought she'd die! To this day I can say I have NEVER chewed gum.

My grandma told me if you ate the crust or the "heel" of bread you would have rosey cheeks and would be able to whistle. I've never had rosey cheecks or been able to whistle!!

I used to believe that if you swallowed chewing gum it would stay in your stomach for 7 years, because chewing gum is impossible to digest. I still don't know whether or not this is ture.

My mum used to tell me that if I accidentally swallowed an apple pip or cherry stone, that a tree would grow out of my ears. Only a couple of years ago, I realised why I got a horrible feeling of dread whenever I ate a pip!!

I used to believe that Haggis grew on trees, cause my dad tied one to a branch in the garden

when i was around 10, i was very picky with my food. my dad would come home with groceries, and i would look through them and tell him i didn't like any of it. my dad got frustrated and exclaimed, "what are you going to eat? air?!" my 4-year-old brother then yelled, "i want air! i want air! did you buy air at the store?"

When I was a kid, my older brother told me that if I touched an uncooked potato, in my sleep I would turn into a giant potato and my family would eat me. That is to say, I never touched a potato or potato product (including fries) till I was about 11.

As a child my dad told me that the donner kebab meat was an elephants leg - I believed him until I was 9

I persuaded my older brother that the main ingrediaent in Ice Cream was salt. He believed me, so we added lots of salt to his bowl of ice cream to make it bigger. He wasn't very impressed when he tasted it!
