Back Menhir: "When the Romans try to contain the threat from the Gaulish village by building a sockade around it, Asterix and Obelix lay a bet with them. They will break out and claim their right to travel freely all over Gaul, collecting the local delicacies and bring them back to prove their point. Ham from Lutetia, fizzy wine from Durocortorum, fish stew from Massilia in the south . . . soon their shopping bag is full.

Outwitting Romans, a couple of treacherous Gauls, and the thieves Villanus and Unscrupulus, they set off for home. . .but who's that little dog who has been following them all the way from Lutetia?"
