I tried to find out what a VGT omnivore was, and found everyone else's blog on it. VGT stands for a lot of things, mostly anti animal factories people in Austria, but having re-read the instructions I was hit by the blinding realisation that it stands for... Very Good Taste, as in www.verygoodtaste.co.uk Duh.
