** An example is the British slave insisting that Asterix and Obelix should be sold for a higher price so as not to devalue the whole stock. It's justified since a master who pays a high price for a slave can be expected to treat him well.

* HideousHangoverCure: While trying to get thrown out of the Roman family they've become slaves to, Asterix and Obelix wind up creating one out of a (live and unplucked) chicken, carbolic soap, jam, black peppercorns, salt, kidneys, figs, honey, black pudding, pomegranate seeds, eggs and red peppers. The narration states that this allowed Romans to drink without consequence, leading to the decline of Rome.

Grammar fix. Also, if there is an official English translation - and in this case, there is - wiki policy is that the names from the English translation take precedence.
