my grandmother told me that mulberries were poisonous. i think this was to to keep us from walking under the trees and getting mulberry stains on our shoes and feet.

I used to sneak into the kitchen and eat spoonfuls of sugar at night as a young child until my mum told me that if you did this, sugar worms would grow in your stomach and eat you up. I still make sure I don't put too much sugar in my coffee to this day...

My grandmother used to tell my siblings and I that if we drank too much pickle juice our blood would dry up!

I believed for years that haggis were real animals who lived on mountains and had 2 long legs and 2 short legs, which meant that they could only face one way on the mountain side, and if they ever turned arount they would fall off.

When I was little, I was told by a friend that the seeds in peppers are deadly poisonous. I'm 25, and know better, but still pick out every single one. It takes a while to prepare a stir-fry.

I used to believe that when I ate porrige, i had to hide the buttereye in the middle so that the fox would not take it. Just to be safe, i locked to door too.

My dad always told me never to swallow the pips from apples because trees would start growing in my stomach!!

When I was young, my mother used to tell me not to swallow the small stones when I ate grapes. She told me a grape-tree would grow in my stomach if I did. I used to imagine a grape-tree growing inside me with the branches growing out of my ears

My Dad used to tell us that if we ate cauliflower we would get curly hair. Then just to reinforce it he told us that it if we didn't eat it we would get curly teeth!

My father used to tell me that mayonnaise was made from maggots and I believed him.

i used to believe that brown cows made chocolate milk

My mother used to tell me that if I went to a resturant, I'd better eat the crust because I was in public and If I didn't everyone in the returant would stare and think that there was something wrong with me.

My mother tells a story about yes/no bananas. You could wish on your banana, slice off the bottom, and if the black smooshy part looked like a "Y", your wish would come true. Try it. They all look like "y"'s.

My mum tells me that I stopped liking peas the day I found out that my elder cousin didn't like it. I can't really understand it, 'cause today, at 20, I still don't like the taste. At family dinners we always leave a small pile of green peas behind.

I was watching TV and I saw this lady stumbling around. I asked my mom what was wrong and she told me that the lady was drunk. I avoided drinking water for years after.

Sliced bread. I used to think that the when sliced horizontally (for sandwiches etc) the top half with the curved 'shoulders' was female and the square bottom half was male.
