food

When I was a little (3 years old), I have drunk once same spoilt milk. And, because next time I refused to drink no more milk, my Gramma told me that it wasn't cow-milk, but it was guinea hen-milk. And I have drunk!
I had That belief for many years. Every time when the milk was good, I thought it was guinea hen-milk, and when it was bad, I thought that was cow-milk.

I used to belive that birds might be able to blow a bubble. I thought when someone spits thier gum out the bird would try to eat it but get it stuck on thier beak and when they tried to sing they could blow a bubble, or I thought. I thought a lot of things.

When i was about 9, I watched a documentary about rural Italy, in which Spaghetti was seen to be hung on tree branches to dry - For the next 5 years or so I mistakenly believed that Pasta grew on trees...

My dad and I convinced my 11 year old sister that buffalo wings come from baby buffalo, that when they are babies their wings fall off and voila! buffalo wings

I read this book of mistakes from students' essays and exams and one of them had said a gherkin was a native who ran about with a knife. I was in Culinary School at the time, and thought about that. I figured out that a chef was a native who ran about with a knife! We used them all the time and we were constantly being told by chefs and eachother NOT to run or walk around with them! :-)

I always thought that eating your crusts would make your hair curly - I always ate them because I really wanted curly hair!!!

I used to believe that if you swallowed bubble gum and then hiccuped, you would slowly fill up with bubbles on the inside until they came out your mouth and nose and ears

As a child I used to believe that eating butter would make your hair fall out. My mother told me this. I grew up and shaved my head bald several times. Maybe she was sorta right.

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 used to believe that Soup of the Day was made especially just for me. I was always amazed that restaurants knew I was going to eating there and had prepared it

My dad told me that eating burnt toast would put hairs on your chest ( just what every eight year old female would want) but because dad said it then that was ok

I used to love to help my mum with the baking and I used to eat raw pastry. My mother however assured me that it would give me worms and as a result I cant eat it to this day.

I used to believe that if you put milk in tea it would become coffee. This was because my mother drank her tea without milk and my father drank his coffee with milk

When my brother was little my family used to call gherkins "pickled monkeys' willies" and my brother thought that was what they actually were. It didn't stop him eating them though. But he also used to eat the cat's biscuits, and when he was about one I found him gingerly tasting his own poo, directly from his nappy that had just fallen off. It's amazing what kids will put in their mouths.

My primary school headmaster told me that if I swallowed chewing gum, it would stick over the flap on my lungs and I would die because I couldn't breath. I didn't eat chewing gum for years after that.

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!!
