At this point I judge as follows: bite, ponder, decide a score, if score is less than 9 for either taste or tenderness, bite again, further pondering, if scores are still not 9, possibly bite for a 3rd time depending on if there is something that I need further confirmation about before finalizing my score
Frequently the entries I enjoy the least get the most sampling, as I am trying to give the benefit to the cook team that there is some good eating on the piece of meat and I just need to find it... doesn't always work out that way though
