I mean, my mom spent years trying to get me to eat various vegetables as a kid, but I always thought they were revolting. Then, when I grew up a bit, I started eating them, and hey presto! I even like sprouts. I mean, food does grow on you sometimes. Unless it's just bad food, obviously. I've lost count of the number of albums I've spat out in disgust at the first chew, then gone back and found - hey! This ain't so bad! This is good! (Best example I know: Janis Ian's Between The Lines album. Disgust on Monday, obsession by Friday....) Can't speak for Travelogue, though, cos I ain't heard it yet. Adam
