food

I didn't mind eating lambs brains when I was a kid because I thought it would make me smart.

I believed (until I was about 23, embarrassingly enough) that tapioca pudding was made of fish eggs. As usual, my father is to blame for this. I can't wait to lie to my own kids.

My mom always told me that if I swallowed seeds from a piece of watermellon that I would have watermellons growing out of my ears!! I use to check the mirror because I swallowed some by accident!

When I was about 7 years old, I watched a show about atomic bombs. They mentioned that the destructive force was brought about by splitting atoms. For a long while after that show, I believed that there was a small chance that I could split an atom while doing something like cutting bread with a knife. I was always terrified that by cutting my jelly sandwich into halves, I may accidentally wipe my town off the map.

My neighbor told me that the insides of acorns tasted like chocolate. They don't. They're really bitter.

When I was 5, my grandfather told me that if I drank water, it would make my insides turn to rust. I didn't start drinking water regularly until very recently, and I'm almost 30.

I used to think that hot dogs were cow utters.

my mum told me that the white stuff around an orange was called pith, but i heard piss, so i thought it was where the orange weed. that put me off oranges for a long time.

My older friend told me when I was a little girl that if I kept eating only the sugary marshmellow in the Lucky Charms that I would go to hell for being picky. Til this day I cannot eat the marshmellows alone.

Hasn't everyone, at some point or another, believed that pickles grew on trees? I sure did.

I was told by my brother that if I swallowed the seeds of a watermelon, that I would start to grow a watermelon in my stomach, with a bit of help: "Just make sure you don't swallow any dirt!"

I stayed as far away as I could from bare patches of dirt.

I used to believe…

that penut butter was really made of just peanuts and Butter

when i was seven, my sister told me that because i was seven i had to eat a dog biscuit everyday or else i would get really sick. so for about a week i ate a dog biscuit everyday until mum saw me eating one and told me my sister was lying.

I used to believe that coffee and chocolate were closely related because they both came from little brown beans and the flavor is slightly similar. About a month ago one of my friends reminded me that coffee comes from little berries on a bush while chocolate comes from big fruit things on a tree. D'oh!

When I was about 6 or 7, my mom cooked some kind of meat for dinner. While I was sitting next to my older brother, (who was 12 at the time) he leaned over and whispered that I shouldn't eat the meat because it was poodle (dog) meat. I was disgusted and didn't eat the meat. I wasn't aloud to leave the table until I finished my dinner, so while my mom was in doing the dishes, I brought my plate over to the indoor plant and buried the meat in the dirt. I was then able to leave the table. I have never told her about the meat in the plant!!! HaHa

When I was little, I was convinced for a while that those little dark specks inside the banana were bugs. Consequently, I absolutely refused to eat them.
