food: general

When I was little I thought Nan bread was Banana bread when my mother corrected me I thought it was Nana bread, I dont know how many years it took me to realize it was NAN bread

I used to believe…

tha tif i didnt eat all of my food at dinner, my mom would ship me off to africa and make ME give the food to the starving there. the ni had to stya and see what it was like with no food. i now eat all of the food on my plate.

I used to believe that there were little men who worked in the bucket out the front of KFC. It was their job to cook the chicken and send it down the pipes into the restaurante.

My great grandma used to make homemade bread. She used to tell us that if you ate the raw dough ( ew but when your a kid you try anything) it would expand till your stomach exploded!

I live near a Mcalister's Deli, and one wall of the building was completely covered in mirrors. Every time I would go there, I believed there was another part to the building (the reflection). I never understood why my mom wouldn't take me there. One day, I ventured over to it to see what it was like.
It was then I saw my own reflection.

I was really disapointed, I thought only special people could sit there.

When I was little, I thought that when someone said they were 'allergic' to a food that they just didn't like it, and that you could catch allergies like a cold. My best friend was allergic to eggs, so I decided I must be allergic to them too- at least the runny ones.

When I was about 5, I asked my mother is Aunt Jemima (Pancake Lady) and Uncle Ben (Rice Guy) were married. I thought it was a good guess seeing as how they were aunt & uncle and both involved in the food business

Whenever I saw 'dish of the day' written in pubs and restaurants, I thought it just meant everyone's favourite type of plate, and felt sorry for all the poor customers, thinking they were just given a plate without any food on it!

If you eat too much of something, you will turn into it.

When I was a child, I used to believe that onions came from tangerines.

I used to believe that if you ate carrots you’d have night-vision

i didn't eat very much as a child and so my dad told me that toast only done on one side was 'chinese toast'.
this immediately gave toast a whole new perspective for me. i then ate as much as i could.

I used to believe…

the neighbor girl i grew up with told me that "cheese makes you concentrate." (i *think* she meant constipate...)

my mom used to tell me that if I didn't swab my ears out with q-tips every night, then potatoes would grow in them.

My wife used to believe that CORNED BEEF was from cows who lived beside the sea

When i was little i would not eat sweetcorn, so my mum told me it was not sweetcorn but yellow peas
