food: general

I used to believe that soy beans would make you skinny and give you long hair , at the time it was being grown in the fields around our house and i'd eat a big handful of raw soy beans everyday in the summer . I think the believe came from my dad saying only hippies ate soy

When I was about 3 or 4 , my papa told me that if you planted a plain Cheere-o in the ground, that you would be able to grow a Doughnut Tree. I beleived him until I was about 7, when I tried it and it didn't work.

when i was a little girl i always loved to steal raw dough from my mother, when she was baking cakes or cookies. one day, i think i was 5 or 6 years old then, me and my father went for a walk. on the streets we saw a very fat man and my father told me that the man was so fat because he must have eaten raw yeast dough, which then has risen inside of him. from that moment on, i was really scared of yeast dough and i never ate a bit of this dangerous stuff. until today i like to nibble at raw dough - but yeast dough? no thanks!

When I was little, I told my younger brother (four years younger than me) than pork comes from a pig, and ham comes from a hamster. He believed me, and even got into an argument with his friend, who was convinced that they both came from a pig. If this was so, he argued, why did they have different names?

when,i was little my mum would give us tapioca and tell us it was frogspawn,inever would eat it!

I used to believe pinto beans were things that came from inside someone's ear so they could hear. One day in school I started talking to one, thinking someone could actually hear me.

I used to think that every time my mom made a cake (even if it was just for us to have for dessert), it was someone's birthday. So every time my mom made a cake, I'd dub it someone's birthday, usually one of the cats or one of my stuffed animals.

i used to beleive that bread was made out of patato...dont ask why...

I always thought that when brocolli is broken down to the smallest it can be that the brocolli indeed looked like little sperm... it was my parents secret plot in order to feed it to me and get me pregnant...

When I was 2 i had a dream that i was turned into a donut and was being chased by a cop with a cup of coffee. For years after I had that dream I was afraid to eat donuts because I thought I'd turn into one and be chased down the street by a cop.

I came to my own conclusion that pepper was various kinds of ground up stuff, including radishes to make it spicyhot. (Because, what other vegetable is spicy like that?)

when I was little I use to think that the noodles in spagetti were worms and the meatballs were eye-ball's eeeww!!
my Brother and Sister told me that and when I told my mom that they told me that she told me the truth!!!

when i was younger, i went through a stage where i would only eat food that came out of our vegetable garden. in an attempt for me to eat meat, my parents would wrap meat pies in foil and bury them in the garden. i was none the wiser.

I used to think that chicken tenders were sea food, because my dad used to work at a seafood resturant and they sold chicken!

my brother onced complained to my mom while eating spaghetti:
"Mommy, the spaghetti left my fork without saying goodbye!"

lol!

Until the age of 19, I believed that when you ate meat, that it wasn't the muscle of an animal. Take for instance, a breast of chicken. I was under the impression that there was a special material, called "meat" that was left after they took the breast muscle out of the chicken. Same goes for ribs, loins, etc. A Ham was not the heinie of a pig, but yet the "meat" that was left over after removing the heinie and scraping off the muscle/tissue, etc. My girlfriend at the time, a daughter of a farmer (just my luck) was absolutely dumbfounded by my theory. She corrected my error of 19 years..then said, "Don't ever...ever say that in front of my family....ever."
