food

I used to believe…

mum used to tell us we were having "snakes pie" for dinner. Of course this was really steak & kidney pie, which we wouldn't eat because we didn't want to eat kidneys! So I actually thought "snakes pie" was really made of snakes, until I found out we don't even have snakes in New Zealand!

I used to believe that if I swallowed the pips from fruit that a tree would grow in my stomach and the branches would grow out of my ears, I used to have nightmares every time I swallowed a pip, I have never actually grown a tree in my stomach.

i used to believe only catholics used to eat good food ie meat and veges and that non catholics ate fish and chips all the time

As a child I loved bananas but not the bruised bits so to get me to stop taking it apart and making a mess my parents convinced me that the bruised bits had actually turned into sugar (and I loved sugar) I still like a bruised banana

i used to believe that after i had eaten a whole packet of lollies i could drink a glass of hot water and they would melt and it would be as if i had never eaten them....

At 8, my parents told me spagetti grew from the ground. A very believable explanation backed up by the crop of spagetti they grew in the back garden for me. I would come home everyday to inspect it until it got too tall and floppy to grow straight up. We then picked it, dried it and ate it for dinner.

I used to believe that pink lemons were used to make pink lemonade. I once saw them in an ad for a particular brand of lemonade and believed ever forth that they existed and I just couldn't find them anywhere.

When I was arpund 6 or 7, whenever we would go to a restaraunt, I would say "Daddy, I want some Squirrel ice cream!!" because no matter how many times my parents tried to get me to say swirl, I always insisted it was squirrel ice-cream.

When I was a kid I believed that if you swallowed a fruit pip that treees would grow from your ears.

I was told (at age 5) that a 'Haggis' was a 'low flying scottish pig', I held onto that belief until i started highschool and could research the topic myself (age 12) to this day looking for a 'Haggis' in the sky a long standing family joke.

I used to believe…

that the green bit of cucumbers was poisonous

I used to believe that you only used tomatoe sauce on chips and things if they were hot, ie to cool them down. It wasnt untill i got my first boyfriend and we ordered chips and they were 1/2 cold and he put tomatoe sauce on them, and i growlled him saying they were cold enough! Sure enough he explained to me that people actually like the taste of Watties!

My mom told me that hamburgers came from cows, but I wasn't so sure. I wanted to know how the big round patties got out of those skinny little utters.

In church they where all ways mentioning "The bread basket". I imagined and believed in my stomache, the food I ate fell into a bread basket. It then went somehere and dumped the food and liquid out to process it thru my body. I did wonder how the liquid did not drip out, unless there was a liner in the basket.

as a kid i thought that rasins were called "O.G's". the reasoning behind that was once i was eating rasins in front of the tv, tossing them all throughout the room when my mom came in and said out loud, "oh jeez".

Once me and my frined were sick enoght to try a can of pepsi with half a bag of pop rocks and it donsnt make your mouch blow up.
