I used to love to help my mum with the baking and I used to eat raw pastry. My mother however assured me that it would give me worms and as a result I cant eat it to this day.

i used to think that i could cook food on the furnice register...and there were hotdogs all over my room, and some of them were like moldy...and my brother told me that the boogyman would stop stealing my toys if i smeared peanut butter all over my toys, so i did, and i got in trouble, but i was only 3 so you can't blame me... ;)

i used to think that colonel sander's (the kfc guy's) bow tie was his arms and legs, so he looked to me like a big head with little stick-man arms and legs

Ever wondered where Fish Fingers (fish sticks) come from? Well, they catch the fish, chop their fingers off, and throw them back into the water. When my kids told me they have never seen a fish with fingers, I told them "of course not. They've all been caught". It's the same for chicken's too you know, and you really don't want to know where the nuggets come from!

I used to believe that chicken fingers were made out of the chickens fingers (gross). So everytime i sat down to eat them i told my siblings and we wouldn't eat them

When I was 3 my older brother used to put is fork in to his eggs and say they were dead little chicks and that we were eating dead little baby chickens. Every time I put my fork into my scrambled eggs he would make a chicken sound. I thought my mom would kill them & make scrambled eggs. I wouldn't eat eggs till I was 14. I still wont eat them scrambled. I am 30!!!

I used to believe that veal was space cows.

One time when I was 6 I got a hamburger when I was eating at Max & Erma's.The waiter asked if i wanted pepper on it.I said yes because I thought he meant pepper as in salt & pepper.I took I bite of it and I screamed like crazy because it was jalepeno peppers.

My favorite food when I was little was grilled cheese sandwiches 'cause I thought they were called 'Girl Cheese Sandwiches' and only girls could eat them.

Mum always boiled the suet pudding in muslin tied with cord. This resulted in the pudding looking as though it had a butt. At meal time, when asked if I wanted pudding, I said yes, but don’t give me the bum part.

When I was a boy we had an old jar of cinnamon sugar Mom put out on the table whenever we had French toast for breakfast. I thought the jar had just lasted forever, so old the label was faded and peeling off, but I was seven or eight before I discovered that my mother regularly refilled it with cinnamon and sugar she mixed herself.

I was told that by eating my carrots, I would eventually be able to see in the dark. I believed that one for awhile.

I thought that nuts were little wood pieces. So i thought that the cover on peanuts was bark. I never ate any nuts cuz i thought termite grew in them.

I used to think that grilled cheese sandwhiches were called "grouchy sandwiches". I would always ask my mom why my sanwhiches were always mad.

I Used to think that if I ate broccoli, trees will come and kill me for destroying their prototype for mind control mini trees so they could take over the world

I used to think there was something wrong with the way my mother cooked fried chicken because the chicken legs sometimes had a dark streak. I didn't know that was a vein (or something natural), but thought it was poop on it. I didn' want to hurt my mother's feelings, so I just told her I wasn't hungry.

I used to be afraid to eat fish. I just wouldnt eat it. I used to love chicken on the other hand. So oneday my parents told me that they were serving ;joke-chicken' for dinner. I loved chicken so much that I tried it, and loved it. I went on believing until my grandpa, at a family dinner, told me it was fish. I dont know how I believed that, but I did.
