I don't know, Rawnut. I still consider them our cousins even if it may not be the official position.

Angeline, that show I watched explained that our bone composition tells us where our food came from: Land animals, fish, plants. And for Neanderthals, it was all land animals, big game. So even if they did gather, they didn't do it for food.

Remember the show I Caveman? Well, I think that's very representative of the choice. It's just too obvious that small game, fish and bird would only have been hunted when big game weren't available. And forget about plants for food, that's just fantasy.
