That wasn't mustard!

An email I received recently:

As ham sandwiches go, it was perfection. A thick slab of ham, a fresh bun, crisp lettuce and plenty of expensive, light brown, gourmet mustard.

The corners of my jaw aching in anticipation, I carried it to the picnic table in our backyard, picked it up with both hands but was stopped by my wife suddenly at my side.

"Hold Johnny (our six-week-old son) while I get my sandwich," she said. I had him balanced between my left elbow and shoulder and was reaching again for the ham sandwich when I noticed a streak of mustard on my fingers.

I love mustard.

I had no napkin.

I licked it off.

It was not mustard.

No man ever put a baby down faster. It was the first and only time I have sprinted with my tongue protruding. With a washcloth in each hand I did the sort of routine shoeshine boys do, only I did it on my tongue.

Later (after she stopped crying from laughing so hard) my wife said, "Now you know why they call that mustard 'Poupon.'"

Haha, I was working at a place and I bought dinner from the canteen there. Sprinkled some salt on my chips, started eating them, realised it was...sugar. xD It was SO disgusting! I sorta like scraped them off and you could still taste it. I felt so dumb for that xD

dont think so.If I did, I forgot.

I thought I was eating chiken once, but then, I realized that this was not chicken. It was a turtle's feet. This was in a foreign restaurant. Never eat from a restaurant where you can't tell the names of the food you are eating.

Okay, I was eating either raisins or dates (I don't recall) but I didn't know that a COCOROACH crawled into the little bowl, and I put it into my mouth, only to FEEL it squirming and pinching my tongue! I spit it out before you could scream, "COCOROACH!" and went to rinse my mouth after...well... lost my lunch :barf: ...*clears throat* Anyways...*shivers at the mere thought of it*

I can't think of any time where I've done that, but I wanted to reply and say that that story made me lol.

I once ate a cake with a snowman on it (It was Christmas time!) expecting it to taste like chocolate, but instead it tasted like sulphuric acid.

Not that I would know what sulphuric acid tastes like, of course. The guys down at the pool hall don't pay me 50p to drink it or anything! :shifty:

I THOUGHT THAT TUNA WAS CHICKEN!

I was wrong.:(

I ate dog food, I thought it was cocoa puffs. (Thats a cereal)

You know that thick and viscous white puss that comes out of big plants? Yeah, my friend told me it was milk and okay to drink. I licked. Grimaced. Spit. Got laughed at. :(

Once, when I was very small, I licked dried bird poo. I'm not sure why.

I ate snail poison because I thought it was magic beans that would make me fly. It kind of worked.

LOL. Jessica is really stupid, man.

I once drank a glass of what looked like apple juice from the fridge. Turned out to be olive oil.

Aftershave.

I was like 3 years old so I dunno what I thought it was, but it wasn't tasty!

once when i was in portugal i ate what i thought were onion rings but they turned out to be squid, and it took 3 for me to realise something was wrong :choc:

Mmmm, fried calamari is so good. :)

Ginger, thinking it was a slice of potato.

Cat biscuit, I thought it was human biscuit :cry:

As soon as she handed him the baby I stopped reading. I have changed enough diapers.

ohhh yeah

I once ate a Ham sandwich with my very young cousin and licked a bit off my hand, it wasn't mustard.

:)

Hmm, actually, I drank vodka and coke instead of coke by accident when I was 6. Thats about it though.

my dad once poured coke over his dinner

I once almost ate a piece of butter that was in this fancy little ball shape. It was early morning and I thought it was white chocolate :(

This Is stupid And everyone Has done this but I once mistook salt for sugar!! lol

I once mistook cherries for dingleberries. :yuck:

I once mistook Gooey Toast for Beef Jerkme
