I wonder what kinds of fruits were commonly eaten in Britain in Roman / Pre-Roman times. I don't think of British agriculture as being very fruit-focused.

Also, it's interesting how these descriptions sound a lot like the natives of the Americas when the European powers arrived in the 1400s/1500s, even down to family arrangements not being variations on a nuclear family.
