nasty food

When I was 4 ish I would not eat spinach. My parents would successfully get me to eat a few pieces if they told me that I could not grow up big and strong like Pop-Eye. After hearing this I would flex my muscles and take a bite, grimace, swallow, maybe, and quite vocally refuse to eat any more. My parents would then repeat the procedure.

When I was 4, my sister said dog poop was mushrooms... I believed it. One day when I was walking on the sidewalk with my parents, I was hungry, so I picked up a chunk of dog poop and ate it. After I tasted it, I vomited all over the sidewalk. I remember saying to my parents "I don't like mushrooms!!" My parents were pissing themselves laughing!!

When I was younger, I was learning about farm animals and I asked my mom where hamburgers came from. She explained that hamburger meat came from cows. For some reason I derived that if ground beef came from cows, then a solid steak came from horses. Why else would there be horses on a farm??

I used to believe that tapioca pudding was made of a whole bunch of tiny worms. I'm convinced that my mom told me that, but she still denies it. I still stay away from that worm-filled pudding.

When I was a kid, I used to believe that raisins were actually dried up flies. When I saw people eating raisins, I would say "Ewwww. You eat flies?" I figured out that they were dried grapes in about grade two. It's because I'm a genious. ;)

I used to believe that Ready-Brek would make you glow, like it did on the TV ad. It tasted HORRIBLE, but I persevered for most of my 6th year.

When I was 5 my brother told me rice was made from Spiders eggs!

When I was about 6 or 7, my mom cooked some kind of meat for dinner. While I was sitting next to my older brother, (who was 12 at the time) he leaned over and whispered that I shouldn't eat the meat because it was poodle (dog) meat. I was disgusted and didn't eat the meat. I wasn't aloud to leave the table until I finished my dinner, so while my mom was in doing the dishes, I brought my plate over to the indoor plant and buried the meat in the dirt. I was then able to leave the table. I have never told her about the meat in the plant!!! HaHa

My father used to tell me that mayonnaise was made from maggots and I believed him.

When I was about 4 years old, my older sister told me that the little black things
in the end of a banana were flies´ eggs, and if I ate them, they would hatch inside my stomach. Because of that, I never ate the bottom part of bananas until I was about 9-10.

MY GIRLFRIEND CAME FROM THE OLD ITALIAN FAMILY AND HER MOTHER TOLD HER NOT TO EAT THE END OF THE BANANAS BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE BIG SPIDERS TOOK THEIR BITES.

When I first heard the expression, "post nasal-drip" I thought it was a cereal.

I used to believe sauerkraut was made from animal brains.

When I was about 5 years old my older brother told me tapioca pudding was made out of fish eyes and that what the bubbles on top were. I never ate tapioca pudding again. I'm now 23 and even though I know it's not made of fish eyes it still grosses me out.

I used to only ever eat chicken nuggets.
My mum thought I should try new food but i refused. So she put crumbs on everything and told me they were funny shaped chicken nuggets, i ate squid, shark and every meat you can think of!
I ate them all the time, but after i found out, i never ate them again!

Once I tasted bicarb thinking it was icing sugar.

I got a nasty shock...

I made my little sister and my little cousins believe that when they took the skin off oranges the orange pulp was bugs.

My friends family took me to a farm/vacation place with them and kids were allowed to go into the chicken coop to get eggs. Only, I saw one laying an egg and thought that eggs were actually chicken poop, and I wouldnt eat eggs for almost a year after that.
