Trade with Mediterranean Europe preceding the Roman conquest of Britain -- no real surprise there, though. :')

I was thinking, just last night, about how varied were the (flavors) tastes availabe to a 100AD British person. Some flavors they would not have had:

* Chocolate
* Tomatoes
* Potatoes
* Coffee
* Tobacco
* Hot Peppers
* Turkey

And so on.

Pretty bland I'd say.

(All the hot peppers in the world have their origins in the Carribean.)
