I thought B.Y.O. referred to food, so I was amazed that people would go to all the trouble to cook their tea and then get the car out and go to a restaurant in order to eat it. Why on earth would people do that?!

I used to tell my little sister that she had to eat the fortune in her fortune cookie in order for it to come true. That's why it's in a cookie!

when I was young, I was told that Cornish Pasties were made so that you could get a whole meal into a small package that you could drop down a Cornish mineshaft. I finally realised it would break when it hit the bottom when I was nineteen.

I used to think that broccolli was baby trees, and used to hide mine and plant it, in the faint hope that it would grow.

Aged about six or seven, I was sat eating breakfast with my father and grandfather and asked them what "Daddies" brown sauce was made of. "It's made of daddies", they told me. I was horrified and was convinced for years that some day the sauce people would come and make my Dad into sauce.

I used to believe that the stuffed green olives happened in this way: At the canning warehouse, women stood at their tables opposite of the red pimento. The green olives were lined up in front of the workers who coaxed with bended finger, "Come one, little pimento, crawl into this lovely olive!" whereby the obedient pimento snuggled right inside the olive and was promptly gathered into jars for packing. lol

When I was young, I heard the word 'minion' for the first time and thought it was a miniature onion.

My mother got my siblings and I to eat brocilli by saying they were "fairy trees" and thus making them special. However my elementry school was very big on teaching us the importance of saving your environment, so when I'd see huge bowls full of brocilli I'd start crying - thinking that I was aiding the deforestation in the "Fairy World" and causing their rain forests to be destroyed.

when i was little, i didn't think that anything mattered in cooking except that the mix/batter/dough be the same color/texture as what you were planning on making. My mom had had a really long day and mentioned something about having to make dinner and dessert. I decided (at 7) that i would save her some work and make a cake for dessert. I took a big plastic rubbermaid container and started to fill it with flour, cocoa, chocolate syrup, mustard, baking soda, eggs, coffee, bread, jam, and anything else i could get my hands on. I mixed the whole thing up, put it in the microwave, and four minutes later....BOOM!....it exploded. Needless to say, I did not lessen my mom's workload that night. To this day i'm still finding pieces of my "cake" on the vents inside my microwave.

I used to think coconuts were fruit. But one day, I was uncertain. So I walked up to my mother and asked her, "Mom, are coconuts fruits, or vegetables?" She just looked at me and said, "cocoNUTS?" I moment later I put two and two together. The sad thing is, I was 13.

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

When I was a kid, I thought that those wooden 'honey ladles' were actually complex devices made out of honey and honeycomb themselves, instead of just being unique wooden utensils.

I thought "Konnichiwa" was a Japanese dish involving a piece of corn on a stick. I think it's because "Konn" and "corn" sound similar.

My mother told me carrots would improve my eyesight, so I took that to its logical conclusion, which was of course that eating enough carrots would give me X-ray vision. My mom put a stop to that, though, since another thing I've seen on this page -- that your skin turns orange if you eat too many carrots -- is true. It happened to my older sister, and it's really more of a sickly yellow.

When the toaster would pop up my toast in the morning, my daughter used to call "Dad, your toast is here!" She told me she thought it was delivered each morning through the toaster.

as a kid i thought that rasins were called "O.G's". the reasoning behind that was once i was eating rasins in front of the tv, tossing them all throughout the room when my mom came in and said out loud, "oh jeez".
