The Stone Age Caveman Diet

It was the time when chefs were made, not born. It was a 'wheel-less world', one filled with uncertainty and many Bush-Tasters. And woe to the Bush Taster who bit into a forbidden fruit, for it was the last bush the Bush Taster would ever taste.

Other than bush goodies, just what did the average Cave person eat? Some prehistoric experts might insist that Cave people grazed on grass, just like sheep. As time progressed, they began smoking it. Green stains on the teeth could only be removed via 1 part quicksand and 1 part poison ivy. Woe to the clumsy Cave person. Rash-around-the-mouth was almost as bad in those days as ring-around-the-collar is, now days.

Wild, isn't it - just like the Caveman's diet. And of course, Today's Wise Man knows that poison ivy is indeed, poison and should never be eaten. But back in those days, Cavemen and Cavewomen dined on most anything they could get their hands on. This may have included anything from freshly picked berries to non-homogenized dino milk. Nonetheless, when pickings went well, the mainstay of the Caveman Diet was fish, fruit, berries and nuts galore!

The main problem that they experienced with nut gathering was the gathering itself. It's not easy after that first frost, collecting nuts in nothing more than a flimsy loincloth or a sketchy garment of fur that's been plastered together with who-knows-what - but gather they did.

Other foods that were incorporated into the early Caveman's Diet may have included fresh greenery, such as dandelions, wild onions and wild garlic. Before Transylvanian times, garlic was renown for scaring away T-Rex's and other evil dinosaurs. Generally, one good yawn would do the trick.
