Could well be. Prehistoric Britannia was full of Ancient Americans who came over in their coracles to (belatedly) fight the Beaker Folk. "Oversexed & over here " as the Iceni tribesmen used to say.

Never knew they had the fast show in Texas enjoy thats all i can say

I've seen the stuff you guys eat in modern times..<yak>.. why would this be surprising?

I think it was merely to survive.

You're right, some of the stuff we eat today is terrible. But that's only because we don't have the option to eat Taco Bell...
