Les rudiments du menhir à 15 ( )
  AnneBuridan | Jun 15, 2007 |
One of the better adventures. Caesar attacks Britain, and a cousin of the chief who has settled there comes to ask for help resisting them. The chief sends the boys with a barrel of magic potion, which Caesar attempts to intercept. Obelix gets inadvertently drunk along the way, with pretty funny results, and there is a surprising outcome as regards the magic potion. Oh, and the boys end up introducing tea to Britain. It also turns out that British cuisine is the one type of cooking Obelix cannot stomach, surprise surprise. ( )

The Romans turn elsewhere for some invasion fun, Britain. These leaves Obelix very bored. Things perk up when Anticlimax, Asterix's British cousin, comes to visit. His village is the lone holdout in Britain.

Getafix makes him a barrel of magic potion, and the boys offer to help him transport it. They also take with them a strange new herb Getafix has discovered.

The Romans have invaded Britain, but one village still holds out. Asterix and Obelix come to help, with a barrel of magic potion in hand. But to deliver the precious brew, the Gaulish heroes must face fog, rain, bad food, warm beer, and the Roman, too.
