Thanks Lancair,
I've been tied up all day, and will have to put up a question later this evening!

Well, I have to say, I'm struggling to find something we have not covered before!
Anyway, here it is:
What is the most horrible thing I have ever eaten?

No, not that, PD. A very creative guess, though.

It seems it will be a guess to get this right.
You seem a well educated and traveled man, so I'm thinking it's not likely to be something fairly common like sheep brains or prairie oysters.
Here's a guess. Balut http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(egg)

That's truly awful, but I have. Not tried it. This is the Australian history thread, so the answer is relevant to the topic.

Witchety grubs ?
No, I'm sorry if it is obscure, but this is a product we had a discussion about on another thread not so long ago (that's a big hint)
GPX 5000 (Chinese Copy - not ripe)

Vegemite.
Ha Lancair gets it, Obviously my hint was a good one. Don't know how many topics we have covered, but it is a lot! It is getting very hard to craft questions that are reasonably google proof.
An iconic product, that got a mention recently in the thread about a vegemite chicken recipe.
"In 1919, following the disruption of British Marmite imports after World War I and prior to the introduction of Vegemite, Callister's employer, the Australian company Fred Walker & Co., gave him the task of developing a spread from the used yeast being dumped by breweries. Callister had been hired by the chairman Fred Walker.[5] Vegemite was registered as a trademark in Australia that same year. Callister used autolysis to break down the yeast cells from waste obtained from the Carlton & United brewery. Concentrating the clear liquid extract and blending with salt and celery and onion extracts[6] formed a sticky black paste."
Most Aussies love it, to me it is an evil paste from hell, and I gag at the smell.
Over to you Lancair!

Sorry everyone, I must apologise for the wording of the question.
Who am I is NOT appropriate. I realised after I posted but after I had left my PC for a few hours to resume working.

What place am I and which journeys found me be mistake?

Sorry, No.
May be off target, but I would say Australia. First discovered by the Dutch in the early 1600's who thought it was still a part of New Guinea and about 15 years later again sighted by the Dutch who thought it was another already charted island. Couldn't tell you the names off the top of my head though.

to call a discovery a mistake whilst exploring is confusing. Perhaps by chance? whilst searching for something else?
