food: general

I used to believe that the reason carrot cake was called carrot cake was because there where carrots that where frosted on the cake. when I found out that there was actually carrots in it, I refused to eat it for a while.

I used to think that baby chicks were removed from the eggs we eat, replaced with yolk and whites, then glued back together. Since I didn't understand the idea of conception yet, it was the only explination!!

I used to believe that hotdogs were worms that were fed a lot of paper so that they could get bigger and bigger. I have not touched a hotdog until after I was 14-15.

When I was a little girl, I asked my dad what the little things in tapioca pudding were. He told me they were fish eyeballs. I was in college before I knew that tapioca was not fish flavored.

I used to believe that chalks are edible. When my teacher writes with the chalk I always imagined how good the chalk tastes. i believed that til I tasted one. It wasn't how I imagined it to be.

I was about 3 years old and asked my mum one day "are chips a type of fish". She wasn't listening to me and just said yes. I went for ages believing that chips swam around in the sea.

As a youngster I loved Burger King - but there was only one I really attended. So when I was 6, we stopped at a different Burger King, mystified as to how there could be two of them, I told my parents that it wasn't the same and refused to go in it. I think we had to head to the original Burger King (about 30mins drive away) so I would even eat. That burger king has since moved :(

My Grandpa used to tell me that I should eat Oatmeal because it would "stick to my ribs". So I refused to eat it because I didn't want Oatmeal stuck to my insides.....

I used to think a serial killer was someone who killed cereal. Like breaking cornflakes or crushing rice bubbles, torturing breakfast foods. One Day I told my mom as I ate my cornflakes "Mom i am a cereal killer" she couldn't stop laughing, i never understood why...

We use to buy "Eggland's Best" eggs that had an "EB" stamped on the side. My dad's initials are EB so I thought that every family got their own personalized eggs.

when i was kid my mom told me that the amount of grains of rice i leave in my plate will be the same as the number of children i will have so i used to leave 2 grains of rice in my plate all the time

I used to think that freckles were bug poop, and i would cover my face in the blankets while i slept to prevent freckles.

I'm 18 now, but until about 2 years ago I thought pavlova and palaver were the same word... I didn't realise one was a dessert!

I used to believe that the grated cheese served to cool the dough.

I used to believe that when i had yogurt , I had to put the spoon in the trash and the yogurt in the dishwasher . My parents noticed this habit when i was 5 years-old .

I used to believe (along with thousands of other kids probably), that if you eat enough Ready Brek you would emit an eerie orange glow.

I eat loads of the stuff and then sat in front of the mirror checking. When no orange glow appeared, I'd just go to the cupboard and make another bowl.
