YES!!! I'm sure they appreciated flavourings just as much as we do today. I was tempted to joke that there should be a primetime Beeb series called Neolithic Masterchef, but, in all seriousness there IS a need for a programme, fronted by, say, Alice Roberts, about the huge variety of foodstuffs available to our forebears, who were undoubtedly guided by animal observation. It would open eyes. Long live dock pudding!

I seem to recall something like that has already been done under the heading of survival. The word 'Masterchef' would put me right off.
