» Lies Your Parents Told You
Parent Food Lies
Every time my mum tried a new recipe, my dad would explain the origins of the dish. They always involved a peasant whose hut burnt down, fortuitously containing all the key ingredients of the recipe. Whilst sifting through the ashes, the peasant would discover the ingredients (which had become mixed and cooked in the flames) and proclaim to have discovered a new meal. The dish would be named after the peasant - for instance, Monsieur Bourguignon was the man who had to leave his burning home containing a cow, some onions and a bottle of wine.
Even now, when I hear the name of a recipe given my dad's treatment, I have to remind myself that it was all just lies.

Cotton Wool
Actually, someone's already mentioned it, so I'm not alone.
Just the thought of scrunching a ball of the stuff in my hand makes my arms go all weak and makes me shiver in horror. Obviously, being an irrational fear, I can't fully explain this, but it's got something to do with its 'dryness'.
