When I was younger my favourite meal was Haggis and Rice :O) too avoid making it more than once a month my father told me it was an elusive animal with three legs that lived in Scotland and only when he went hunting with Uncle John did they manage to catch one :O)

When I was little I used to think if you ate watermelon seeds (or any kind of fruit) they would grow in your stomach all because my grandfather use to tell me that. I can't even eat kiwis! Lol

I used to believe that different colors of M&Ms were different flavors. I tried hard to distinguish the difference in their flavors. I had to admit that the difference was not very great, but eventually decided that the light brown ones were my favorite flavor by a detectable margin. Then I was so sad when they discontinued the light brown ones in favor of making blue ones. I still miss the light brown ones a bit to this day.

I used to think that if i ate watermelon seeds they would grow out of my ears.

When I was very young, I used to believe that salt and sugar were opposites. Once, (maybe more than once), I ate enough sugar to get sick. So I tried to then eat salt as an antidote. It didn't work as well as I anticipated.

When I was little I thought I was the only one in the world that ate breakfast. So one day at my pre-school I was talking to one of my about how I had a waffle for breakfast. He replied "I did too!" and I didn't believe him.

My son once asked my wife what she was doing. She said she was making develed eggs. He asked for one. She said they weren't ready. He said he would wait until she put the devil in them.

When I was little, I remember eating a type of after-dinner mint that had the name "hospitality mint" printed on the wrapper. I thought that the word "hospitality" meant "hospital" and so I was nervous about eating the mints because I thought they had medicine in them!

I never wanted to eat tapioca because my dad told me it was made out of fish eggs. I just recently found out that was not true. I'm 19.

My Mother told my sister and I age the seeds from bell peppers were a deadly poison. We dutifully helped her clean every seed from the peppers that she was adding to the salad. I remember thinking about how so many people must die needlessly from green pepper seed poisoning...

When I was little my sister told me you could only eat dessert with a dessert spoon (which was what we called regular spoons) so I spent 14 years eating everything else with a tea spoon except for my dessert then my boyfriend told me that was nuts

My mum used to tell me that if a ate a seed from any fruit a tree would grow in my belly

I used to believe mushrooms were a meat.

When I was little, my dad, brother and I went to the supermarket to get cheese. The lady at the counter gave us each a sample of munster cheese, and told us that if we ate it, we would grow horns in the morning, and become monsters. I was terrified of munster cheese after that, and refused to eat it no matter what the circumstances were.

I used to believe…

My little brother used to think that ketchup was made of, as he called it, crushed lice... yes, lice. He had heard it somewhere and was convinced of some sort of ketchup conspiracy poisoning us. He refused to eat it therefore. Any time I, his sister, put ketchup on anything he was horrified and called me crazy :-) Ha ha

When I was a child, I believed that if I put my left overs in zip lock baggies that they children in third world countried from the commercial would get uncontaminated food.
