Yes. I firmly said that wasn't good enough, and the chap went back into the kitchen. When he came back, he could offer me a goat's cheese salad.

I asked what was in it, and he said goat's cheese. And salad.

I said that wasn't enough, because I needed something with starch / complex carbohydrates, like rice or potatoes. Could I perhaps have a side dish of rice or potatoes with the salad? I could pay extra for it. No. Well, perhaps I could have the mushroom risotto that was on the menu, and the goats cheese as a starter. No, this wasn't possible, the goats cheese was a main course. But I could have the mushroom risotto as a starter.

Which I did, and it was quite nice. I don't really understand salad in more than small doses and munching my way through it was a bit of a chore, but the goat's cheese and the risotto were both nice, even though the latter was made without stock.
