Do you ever daydream about the food from movies? Every now and then, I catch myself drifting away, wondering what feasts they were enjoying in the Halls of Rohan, the delicious banquet at Bilbo's 111th birthday party, or even a sliver of delectable Lembas bread. Perhaps I'm watching The Lord of the Rings movies on an empty stomach, but the intrigue of food I'll never taste builds the mystique of Middle Earth.
Is the water poured from Galadriel's pitcher far sweeter? Is the wheel of cheese from that Bombur the dwarf carried in Thorin's company cheddar or Gouda? Is Eowyn's stew really that bad?
So while we may never daydream of Denethor's tomato, Gollum's "sweet" fish meat, or the orc cannibals, there are many wonderous and magical things to dream of in the world of LOTR. Middle Earth is full of amazing wonders—all starting with the delicious-looking grub at the Green Dragon. That's where it all began, right?
