When I was young, my mom told me that in order to eat chinese food, you had to use chopsticks. I didn't think this was right, but hey, if mom says it, it has to be right. I tried to learn how t use chopsticks, but I couldn't. I tried to learn every day until my fifth birthday. That night, I woke up at 10:00 to get a glass of water, and my mom was eating sweet and sour chicken with a fork. I cried for 2 hours because my mom lied to me. I never eat chinese food now or else I will break into tears. I miss chinese food, but I don't miss my mom
My mom used to use a ricer to mash potatoes. The potatoes come out in a thin stream, and I thought that you cut the stream in little pieces and that's how you got rice.
top belief!
I used to belive that to make icecream you had to feed a snowman whatever flavour you liked, murder it and scoop out its insides.
I sometimes have trouble hearing so when I was young I always thought that grill cheese sandwiches were called "girl" cheese sandwiches. Since both girls and boys like them, I didn't understand why they called them that.
My grandad used to tell me that if i ate tripe, then it would put hairs all over my chest
MY aunt told me if i ate broccoli my boobs would grow
I used to believe that if I ate the skin on the roasted chicken I would have curly hair.
When I was little, my grandmother told me that each time you ate a vegetable, you would live one minute longer. So, I believe that if you ate 60 vegetables, you would live an hour longer and so on.
In an effort to make me eat sprouts my mum used to tell me they were fairy cabbages. Since I believed in fairies that might have worked, except that I hated cabbage.
When I was about 3, I used to love stickydate pudding. But I used to think that it was called sticky TAPE pudding and so now now everyone in my family calles it that.
I had a friend who thought blackberries were poisonous when they were red, and the poison somehow came out of them when they turned black so they were then safe to eat.
top belief!
when i was about three i suddenly realized where bacon comes from....from unborn pigs eggs of course
I used to think that Boysenberry pie was "Poisonberry pie". I didn't want to eat any until my mom told me what it really was. My sister then asked why it couldn't be called "Girlsenberry" instead of Boysenberry.
I used to think that if i were to eat chinese food after I had already read my fortune cookie that my fortune wouldn't come true.
I thought that a "ceral" killer was a person who stomped on the ceral ( out of the boxes) and I would not eat the ceral because if I ate it i was a "ceral" killer. LOL ( i know i spelt "ceral" wrong! ) And i am now 12.
Okay well when I was a little kid I used to think chesse came from special chesse cows (ex. chedder cows).
I thought this because I knew milk came from dairy milk cows, and I also knew chesse came from cows so of course chesse must come from chesse cows.
I was a weird kid.
My mum's younger sister had always come to my mum for baby advice. Once, me, the nosy child overheard their conversation about my aunt's struggles of weaning little Gary. (via, the baby.)
After I heard the word, "Weaned", I had this vivid picture of my aunt and these other women, circled around little Gary's high chair, holding packages of Oscar Myer "Weanies". Their only intention being to feed Gary nothing but weanies for a full year. Only then would he be able to advance to "big kid" food. They then proceeded to stuff the weeinies down Gary's throat... hey, how else was he goin to get "weaned?"
I was jealous of Gary because HE got to eat hotdogs everyday whilst I was stuck with lima beans, cauliflower and viel.
It never occured to me that hotdogs are a major choking hazard for infants... DOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I was little, I used to think that brussel sprouts were midget lettuce.
top belief!
Before I could read, I believed "macaroni and cheese" was "Macaronian cheese," a way of preparing cheese, originating in Macaronia.
i was told that if we made a noise whilst a cake was baking in theoven it wouldn't rise.
it was only when i tried to keep the rest of the cookery class quite during a cake baking lesson that i realised it was my mothers way of keeping myself and my siblings quiet for a while.
