24. Yummy...

I love it but am the only one in the family that does. A jar lasts for months.

Capon sounds nice...a male rooster that had his nuggets removed when he was young.

26. GAAAAAH!!! NOT VEGEMITE!!!

Here's what Wikipedia has to say.

"Vegemite is made from leftover brewers' yeast extract, a by-product of beer manufacture, and various vegetable and spice additives. The taste may be described as salty, slightly bitter, and malty - somewhat similar to the taste of beef bouillon. The texture is smooth and sticky, much like peanut butter."

Now this little excerpt about the taste is a complete lie. The taste may actually be described as "similar to having a walrus with acute intestinal cramps take a diarrheal crap in your mouth, only less likely to be noted as a pleasant flavor".

25. Tomato aspic.
