You speak as though you were there. I think the research is conflicted, and one line argues humans 500,000 years ago would seek out and eat starchy and sweet (potential glucose load) to avoid STARVATION when meat sources were unavailable. The other was they started cooking vegetables ti supplement themeat diet, which increased their carb load. But feasting before a hunt? I don't think anyone has proposed that as likely practice..
