Rhiwbina is the birth place of fried chicken - that's the claim in an archaelogical study, published today (1 April).
Archaeologists working at a secret site in the Wenallt forest on the edge of Rhiwbina have found evidence of a Bronze Age settlement, where the inhabitants apparently created the precursor of one of the world's favourite fast-food choices.
Research published today in the journal Fried Food Archaeology suggests our ancestors were enjoying the equivalent of fried chicken more than 3,000 years ago.
Professor Coucou Picarde, who led the study, told us: "It appears that Bronze Age inhabitants of this area, caught or reared certain types of fowl and fried them in animal fats, adding herbs for extra flavour.
"Although chickens as such were not known in Britain until much later, it does seem that earlier inhabitants were getting a taste for this takeaway classic long before the idea of fast food was even thought of."
Professor Picarde's team is now examing the evidence more closely. "My colleagues Dr Colin Sanders and Miss Millie Mills are looking into how this food was eaten - was it finger lickin' good? Did it come in the equivalent of a bucket? Why is this all making me hungry?!"
So, now we know - fried chicken was in Rhiwbina long before any of us arrived. Or was it?
Last year on this date, we reported how Rhiwbina could be officially renamed Ribena.
