Plot
The arrival of a Roman official in the camp of Compendium prompts another attack on the village from the Romans, but the attack is easily repelled. The prelate attempts a new strategy by erecting a wall around the village to keep them contained and prevent them spreading their rebellious ideas to the rest of Gaul, but Asterix makes a bet with the prelate that he and Obelix will get out of the village and go on a tour of Gaul, collecting the various specialities of the towns they visit and inviting him to a banquet at the conclusion. Despite repeated Roman attempts at interference, Asterix and Obelix complete their journey with the aid of their fellow Gauls, the locals helping them by distracting the Romans long enough for them to move on to the next town. At the end Asterix shows the food to the Official, then says they forgot the speciality of this village. He shows the special cut of the village to the Prefect, 'The uppercut,' which knocks him out.

“The westward march has stopped, upon the final plains of the Pacific; and now the plot thickens ... with the change, the pause, the settlement, our people draw into closer groups, stand face to face, to know each other and be known.”

“Trade and the streets ensnare us,
Our bodies are weak and worn;
We plot and corrupt each other,
And we despoil the unborn.”
