food: general

One of the ways my mother would get myself and my sisters to finish every garin of rice in our bowl was telling us that the number grains left over would determine how many kids we would have.

When i was really young i used to loooove ice cream so much that once we had run out i had gotten the chocolate sandwhich spread 'nutella' and ate that in a bowl as a substitute for icecream and when my mother saw the chocolate in the bowl she would always ask when had we bought icecream? lol. i never told her because i didn't want everyone eating my chocolate 'icecream'

I used to think after watching a old 70's ad for Shredded Wheat that I could make it
by picking wheat (or simular) and adding
water in a bowl.

I never ate any thought.

When I was a kid, I used to think that the reason I had to put salt and pepper on food at the table was to cool it down. Imagine my suprise when my Dad showed me how wrong I was by "cooling" down a bunch of mashed potatos with pepper one night!

When I was a little girl, I believed that poultry grew naturally in such a way that it was split evenly down its back with one half being all white meat and the other half being all dark meat. For example: I thought each bird had one dark drumstick and one white drumstick. The reason I thought this was that whenever there was a family holiday dinner and someone began to carve up the foul they would point the knife to one side and ask "Would you like white meat?" then point the knife to the other half and say "Or would you like dark meat?" When I grew up I realized they were probably pointing to specific parts like the breast or leg, but, as a kid it just looked like half and half to me.

my dad used to tell us that popping sound you hear when you fry an egg was really baby chicks screaming for their lives.

Im not to fond of eggs.....

When McDonalds began selling McFlurries I thought they were named after Calgary Flames player Theron Fleury, and I wondered what they were called in other cities.

i used to believe that tastes could cancel eachother out so i always ate my chocolatey desert at lunch first and then cleans my palatte with something else so my chocolate milk wouldnt taste like just milk.

When I was younger, we would eat at Fisherman's Wharf. I had always believed that the Hush Puppies were actually a type of chewy fish. Boy was my face red....

I used to believe that the more milk you added to your cereal bowl, the more cereal you would have. How else would you explain the bowl getting fuller?

I used to believe that when my mom would dump the pasta out in the strainer in the sink she was just dumping it in the sink (I wasn't tall enough to see into the sink at that time). Then I woule wonder how she got it back out to put on the table and I wouldn't eat it because it was in the sink.

There is a resturant/fastfood place here called Whataburger. When I was about 5 or so, I though it was called Waterburger and thougth the burger's were made of water, and never them. My sister thought too and one day we were talking about it in front of my husband and he said he thought that too when he was little. How funny

I used to believe that cabbage was hot lettuce!!

when I was a kid my sister told me that the tacos in jack in the box were made of ostrich, so i had to decide between my favorite tacos or my favorite bird, i decided they are already dead i might as well eat them, i still love those tacos

I used to believe that elephant ears (the food) where made out of real elephants ears! I was disgusted when my mother offered me one

I used to believe…

with all the conviensc of canned food it never occured to me that my son had never eaten a fresh peach, when the neighbor gave him a giant fresh peach from Georgia it really surprised me when he got to the middle and started gagging,when i ask what was wrong he told me it was still raw in the middle, thinking the red center close to the pit was blood like a rare steak
