food: general

When i was little my mum told me that broccli were magic trees and little fairies gave up there home so we could eat wholesome food, and if we didnt eat it the fairies died! how cruel was that!and the more we ate the stronger the fairies became.,,,,,,,,?

I used to think if i didnt eat a slice of american cheese before i went to bed, i would die. i think i came up with this when i would try to stay up as late as possible by stalling and saying that i'm hungry. my brother is lactose intolerant, and to my understanding as a young child, i thought that if he ate anything involving dairy, he would eventually die. i guess i thought that since im NOT lactose intolerant, then its just the opposite for me as it is for him, so in order to live, i had to have american cheese every night. no questions asked.

My mom used to say 'Let me see your eyes' to see if we were too full to eat our vegetables. She said she could tell how many more bites we had room for just by looking at our eyes, and all three of us believed her!

When I was a child a friens dad told me that vinigar was made from buffalo urine!!! needless to say I have since discovered it's not..phew!!!

Because of the way honey was always drawn in books and cartoons, I used to think it looked and tasted like that cheese stuff you dip nacho chips in. When I finally got some, I was horrified to find that it was see-through!--and even more so when I tasted it...

when i was about 7, at girl-scout camp, i burn a marshmallow while sitting around a campfire and my troop leader told me that people in canada pay more for burnt food.

of course i believed her. mrs.barton was never wrong...

When I was a little girl, I had a chocolate Easter bunny with a pink cotton tail. When I had eaten the bunny, I was sad that there was no more of it. But my older brother told me "Dont' worry, if you keep the cotton tail, the bunny will grow back."

I kept that tail for years. Uh...

when i was a kid i belived that butter came from butterflys(like honey comes from bees)lol!!!

i used 2 belive pasta was wigly worms &
wouldn't eat it

I used to order "girl cheese sandwiches" from the local restaurant. It seemed right because they were pretty small, made for little girls like me. I was a bit disappointed to find out they were actually "grilled cheese sandwiches".

I used to believe that potatoes were made out of bread AND bread was made out of potatoes. I'm not sure how this worked... something along the lines of people digging up potatoes to make them into bread which would be made into potatoes and buried again!

When I visited my grandparents on their farm, I was shown the hen coop and realised that chickens laid eggs. I saw the pigs in their sty, and believed for YEARS that they "laid" sausages in the same way ...

When I was younger, my parents told me that if I didn't finish all my rice, my wife will grow dimples all over her face... one for each bit rice I didn't eat. I believed it for a little while after that, but then logic set in.

i used to believe that shredded wheat was harvested from niagara falls because of the picture on the box

when I was younger my mum told me that tagliatelle came out of italian mens noses, they sat in the corner of a room pulled snot outta their noses and hung on a washing line to dry!! I beleived this 'til high school! The worst thing is i still ate the tagliatelle!

I once thought brown eggs came from a different hole in the chicken. Actually, I still have doubts whether brown eggs really are eggs, and whether they come from the same hole as white eggs. Who knows?
