I suspect that climate had something to do with eat, that holding and
consuming a topped or filled bread is a warm weather pastime, unworkable
in dank, chill Northern climes, where the locals were forced to dine while
crouch huddled beneath stone walls to keep their biscuits warm (and to
keep the rain off...)


Think of the advantages available to the Scots. Didn't even have to
collect water from a nearby burn to mix their oat cakes. Simply cup one's
hands and wait a moment for rain to fall...


I supposed trying to eat a taco in the rain could dampen
one's--uh--enthusiasm?

Among other things...
