Raw they are awful and I spat them out. I think roasted sounded good. Anyway, be careful pealing them as some husks cause dying on the fingers. You may be stuck with brownish red finger tips as a result.

Can't your characters have crashed with a carton of Tims Tam (stave off hunger) and several cases of wine(so they no longer care if they're hungry). If I ended up in 500BC I would want to be drunk.
