food

I used to believe that Cadburys cream eggs had areal yolk from a chcken in them so I used to eat around it cos the thought of an uncooked yolk didn't sound nice to eat. I am 19 now and only stopped thinking it about 4 years ago :)

I used to believe that joints of beef were cylindrical, not realising that they were rolled. When my mother asked me how I thought they got that shape of meat out of a cow I said 'with a hole-puncher'. I then had a dream about cows on a conveyor belt with these massive hole-punchers rising and falling.

When I was little, my mom made lots of spaghetti and meatballs. She told me meatballs came from a special place. So for the next few years, I thought that testicles, albeit well-processed, were in my spaghetti. That stuff freaked me out, man.

I was told by my mum that eating sugar would give me worms.
Whatever that meant

When I was little I used to believe that if I ate grapes with the pips in that a grape tree would grow out of my ears. Imagine my horror when one day I swallowed one by accident! I spent the whole night worrying that by the time I woke up I would have the branches sticking out of my ears and that I would have to go to school like that!

The first time I heard about people eating frogs legs I was very young and naturally horrified. I thought that all of these frogs had to spend the rest of their lives on crutches!!

My Grandmother told me that chocolate milk and chocolate ice cream came from black cows, regular milk and vanilla ice cream came from white cows, and black and white cows were responsible for chocolate/vanilla swirl ice cream....it used to really bother me that she couldn't tell me which cows produced strawberry ice cream! I still don't know that one!!!!! :)

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

when i was small, i wouldnt eat the end of bananas because i believed the black specks were spider eggs. still not sure if they are or not ;)

I used to believe…

That if you ate the pips out of oranges a orange tree would sprout out of you.

When I was about 6 I had a bad habit of swallowing the plum pip. After my mother told my I will grow in to a tree I never swallowed a pip of any type again!!

I used to play a handheld video game on long road trips with my family. The only time that I was able to beat the game is when I was drinking mello-yello. So that soft drink had to be good luck for me.
Now who's to say that I outgrew it, at my wedding we had a fountain flowing that beautiful yellow nectar.

On April 1st, many years ago, I watched a black and white program with my sister in which Italian woman were shown picking long strands of spaghetti form "spaghetti" trees. We tried in vain to convince our parents that this was a fact, after all we'd seen it on TV.

My brother and I sent his kids out shopping for snacks - "buffalo chips and sheep dip". The three boys aged 5-10 hopped on their bikes and peddled from store to store. We know because at each store they would call and say the people had said they were out but they should try another store and they wanted permission to go there. We died laughing until their mom got home.

I used to believe that snakes bit the ends of banannas when they grew on trees, so I would never eat the ends.

My 4th grade teacher (Mr Walton)told me(and the class)that spagetti was grown in large fields.Farmers would start with little seeds((he held up some rice) and that the grew in rows along the ground.After failing to grow my own,I stuck some spagetti upright in a container of dirt and brought it to class.He winked and said he never saw pasta grow straight up like that..lol
My son is in his high school science class.I reminded Mr Walton of the "pasta test" and he remarked"it did get you to thinking about things now didn't it?" He was right!
