food

when i was young my mum used to refrain us from drinking fizzy drinks so she said that if we drank too much we would become a bubble and POP! she made my twin sis cry!!

When eating a meal, my mum would check my corners (the little space under your shoulder), there was always space for a pudding!

my mom always told me if you swallowed the watermelon seeds while eating a piece, a watermelon plant would grow out of your stomach..

i didn't eat very much as a child and so my dad told me that toast only done on one side was 'chinese toast'.
this immediately gave toast a whole new perspective for me. i then ate as much as i could.

We used to call pimento loaf (the one with the green olives in it), "hognose meat". I am not sure why, perhaps the cross-sections of the olives looked like a hog nose, I donno... But anyway, I used to believe that it was really made of hog noses. And now that I know what can actually go into processed meat, I am not so sure I was wrong...

my dad told me that the white stuff on oranges was deadly, and made me peel it all off, everytime i ate one. it took me hours to munch one, sometimes days if it was a jaffa.

I was led to believe that steak was really made of children, and that if I didn't eat it, that I would be turned into steak myself. I'm 23, I still dont eat the stuff. aces to my father and his parenting skills ;)

My mum use to tell us that if we swallowed bubbly gum, it would stick to our hearts.

I used to beleive 'Lemon Sole' was a fish cooked in Lemon :-)

I used to believe that the crunchy things in the fillings of Fig Newtons were actually hornets eggs...ever since then I can't eat them.

I used to believe (along with thousands of other kids probably), that if you eat enough Ready Brek you would emit an eerie orange glow.

I eat loads of the stuff and then sat in front of the mirror checking. When no orange glow appeared, I'd just go to the cupboard and make another bowl.

My Dad convinced us that the round part at the top of a chop was poisonous, and that the best bit was the long streaky bit of fat down the side. He always made sure to get rid of the posionous bit for us 4 kids........

When I was at school, me and all my friends believed that the green bits in crisps were highjly poisonous and the black bits gave you cancer. Not only that but my Mum also told me that if you get a ball of flavouring inside a pack of wotsits and eat it, you'll die!
I believed this for years, and still cant eat crisps, and I'm 30!

i used to believe (untill about a yr ago actually) that glacial cherries were made out of seaweed.

Bread crusts make your hair go curly

I used to believe that milk was cow urine, and actually managed to convince most of my friends!!
