food: general

I used to believe that burritos were animals, so when we had burritos for lunch at my school, I'd cut it with a fork and show my meat sauce covered fork to the other boys and go "YAAAAAAAAH!!! DISEMBOWELMENT!!!" And they'd freak out.

When I was little I was told I had to wipe up well with my napkin after every meal or the buggies would eat me. I few years later I was stung by a bee while eating a hot dog. After that I wiped up after every bite.

I used to beleive 'Lemon Sole' was a fish cooked in Lemon :-)

when my mom would make my sandwhiches when i was younger, she usually cut it in half for me.

one day she cut it in quarters and i said HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO EAT THAT MUCH! thinking that by cutting 1 sanwich into more pieces, it meant more food :P

I used to believe…

the moment i realized that spaghetti and sauce were two separate things, that was my first childhood epiphany. a natural skeptic, though, i insisted on observing my mother prepare it because i couldn't believe those brown twiggy things were actually floppy red spaghetti.

My mum tells me that I stopped liking peas the day I found out that my elder cousin didn't like it. I can't really understand it, 'cause today, at 20, I still don't like the taste. At family dinners we always leave a small pile of green peas behind.

I thought everyone who went to a bar would get their own bowl of peanuts or popcorn, like on Cheers. I was disappointed when I turned 21.

My mother always told me that if I didn't eat my vegetables that I wouldn't grow or get any bigger. So everytime I saw a dwarf I would think that they hadn't eaten their vegetables. Until one day I pointed it out to my mom right in front of him. My mom scolded me and told him she was sorry.

I know...
Bees make honey and
flies make peanut butter!

(my son at age 3, noticing a fly which had landed on a gob of peanut butter on the counter)

Until I was at my first college, I more or less believed that you had to go to a restaurant to eat Chicken Fried Steak (steak patties fried in batter, then covered in gravy, for non-Texan) and also to eat Mexican food, even if Mother told me there were people who actually made both in their homes! When I was in college, I was invited over to a friend's place for dinner where he and his wife (then girlfriend) made chicken fried steak! I was so excited I called up Momma and told her. "They actually MAKE chicken fried steak?" she asked.

i belive when i was a child around 5ys. that one morning when my mom was cooking breakfast and i heard her pop a can of biscuits on the table that the pilsbury doughboy had to somwhere hidding in my house because i looked everywhere for him,needless to say i never found him! 

my mum once told me that Pastrmi was horse meat.

when i was small, i wouldnt eat the end of bananas because i believed the black specks were spider eggs. still not sure if they are or not ;)

I used to think that when popcorn was popping a giant war was happening inside of the pop corn bag.

My friend used tot hink that there was a leprichaun inside the bag and he would get so mad he would pop

When i was little I thought the bruised part of the banana was the healthiest part. That's what my mom told us to get us to eat it.

Sense Mc Donalds was my favorite restraunt and the one I ate at most as a child, I often ordered the Chicken Nuggets. I was shocked to hear that at Burger King, they served somthing coalled Chicken Tenders. I was scared to try them because I didn't know what they were!
