Archaeologists uncovered the earliest known evidence of cereal harvesting in the Canary Islands, according to a report in La Brújula Verde. The discovery was made at the C008 cave complex at the Roque Bentayga rock formation on Gran Canaria. The site was likely used as a granary, for plant processing, and, later, as a burial ground by the ancient Canarians, a people of Amazigh, or Berber, origin, between the tenth and the thirteenth centuries. Excavations within the caves yielded over 200 lithic artifacts. Microscopic analyses of wear patterns on some of the objects, particularly a small basalt knife, determined that they were consistent with markings on tools such as sickles that were repeatedly used for cutting the stems of barley plants. Prior to the recent discovery, scholars had debated whether such technology was available to the archipelago's original inhabitants before the Spanish conquest in the fifteenth century. Read the original scholarly article about this research in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports. For more on the Berbers, go to "Islam North of the Pyrenees."

I'd have guessed squab.
Ever wondered what the ancient Greeks ate to stay strong? In this video, I recreate Maza, a simple yet powerful barley bread that sustained warriors, athletes, and philosophers alike.
Learn how to make this ancient superfood, which is loved by all classes of Greek society. Follow along as I explain the recipe and uncover its historical significance.
Take barley flour and toast it in a pan until golden brown. Then, mix in a splash of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and enough water to make it into a workable dough. Shape into flatbreads and enjoy. There is no need to cook further—the flour has already been toasted!Maza - Barley Bread Recipe:

That would make them Gerber Berbers.
At least we now know where their general mills were.

On my spear’s my daily bread,
on my spear my wine
from Ismaros; and drinking it,
it’s on my spear I recline.
That would make them Gerber Berbers.
At least we now know where their general mills were.
They died out due to a widespread canarial disease called chirpes. It was untweetable.
So they were cereal killers?...................
Here’s a curious fact:
Did you know there are no canarys in the canary islands?
...it’s the same in Virginia islands.
There’s no catalyst there either.
*GROAN*
Archeologists may have discovered the lair of the infamous pirate Cap’n Crunch.
I read in Tacitus years ago that many of the Roman soldiers in the East preferred bread to meat and were unhappy when they had to eat mostly meat.
Ha ha. So that's where crunchberries grow.
A little bird told me..
Back in the 70s, the men in the TV commercials were the smart guys and not the idiots they are today.
They won’t find any corn flakes since corn (maize) was first cultivated in Mexico, but they could find Cheerios since they are made from oat.
