It would appear that I have to eat about three quarters of any dish I don't like, before I realise I don't like it. Take goats cheese for instance. I tackled the above omelette incarnation of the cheese of the goat for lunch today. I don't know why I ordered it. I was in a rush. I'd had some startling news. And I was with a very cosmopolitan crowd (one of them ordered a starter as a main course). So I ordered it, ate three quarters of it, or there abouts, and then realised it tasted like puke. So I stopped eating it, and pushed it to the side of the plate.
Luckily I was able to secure some sausage and a little mash off one of one of my dining companions to make up for the loss, but despite that I was disappointed. Of course I'll get over it - I'll just avoid goats cheese in the future. But the experience will make me wary of any new meal until I'm over three quarters of the way through it.
Right. That does it. I'm going to start posting bowel movements. The public has a right to know.

What are you suggesting Charles?
I know, Ben. I made my displeasure clear.

Was startling news related to Camden metrosexual?

Alternate theory - the conversation was so stimulating that you didn't notice your gustative displeasure.

Punk digestion.

Paul, you really need to be more careful.
The prerequisite for any good meal is that it contains meat.
Ordering a goats cheese omelette is truly a school boy error.

Goats' cheese is, indeed, the spume of Satan.

i'm hoping that the tomato sauce/ketchup was for the bangers and mash, paul. 'cos goats cheese omelete may be bad, but putting it with tomato sauce is disgusting!

Err...

I think it's just goat cheese. I always think I might like it, give it a go, and then change my mind in the middle. Whoops.
