There's two types of food around Middle Earth. Sweet, warm, soft and crispy, even posses healing attributes.
And there is Eowin's soup.
Haha I caught that
Don't forget cram!
I'm pretty sure Aragon LIKED it ALOT 😌
Brian Garrow haha lol lotr witn reference nice
@Aung Un'Rama : Even Bilbo's trolls would have turned up their noses at Eowyn's soup...
This makes me wish there was a chain restaurant that served famous foods from movies and books.
Laver constantine go ahead. I'll come to ur restaurant.
Let's do this!!
@@joedemelfie5509 lol I'd be down for it even tho Halloween would be the hardest month ever cause of Harry Potter fans alone coming in for butter beer and pumpkin pastries while Easter could be Alice in wonderland and etc.
Idk you'd have to decide if you want a cafe and do what I was just writing about or a restaurant with a whole dining experience.
I've always wanted to see a game of thrones or Lord of the rings feasts which Lord of the rings you could do hobbits one season while elves in another but that kinda goes with medieval dining experiences which we have nothing like that in Western PA but I know Myrtle Beach SC does.
Probably be easier to do a cafe and that way you could actually change the menu monthly while a restaurant is more permanent even with seasonal influences so more limited.
Idk you'd have to design the place while location is everything. Cafes do better near colleges or where there is alot of foot traffic with a younger crowd while restaurants have more flexibility in location and age group. Designing the place while not getting sued could be a problem as well that's where the cafe would be much easier if you went with a bookstore vibe but hard to make sure not confused as a generic coffee shop.
During an exhibit of his artwork in New York they had a platter based off of the foods. Over the hill, across the water, and even there and back.... a culinary journey through The Hobbit. It was rather tasty.
@@ashleym3667 that sounds awesome and more rewarding than a simple snack for how much money.
"Looks like meat's back on the menu, boys!"
UNLebanon haha yes so funny best food comment
Problem with Orks, Urks and Uruk-hai is they're horrible table manners
How do uruks know what a menu is? Are there restaurants in mordor???
@@Facerip in the Lego lord of the rings game there was a side quest to help a orc open up a restaurant lol
" If more of us valued food and cheer and song above gold, it would be a merrier world ". So true ☺️
Legolas: "One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a full grown man." *Legolas turns*
Merry: "How many did you eat?
Pippin: *Burps* "Four."
What about second breakfast?
What about afternoon brunch lol
In the book, Gimli snarfs down a whole lembas wafer in under 30 seconds.
@@wesleythomas7125also in the book, lembas doesn't just fill your stomach in one small bite, it allows you to feel full for multiple weeks at a time, in body and spirit.
Bilbo: would you like something to eat?
Gandalf: just tea, thank you.
Yeah he bite the cup
"the love of the halfling leaf has clearly slowed your mind" - some guy
Oh quit hushing my buzz
Good my mind was rushing with too many thoughts and now I'm laying low lol 😎😌
I can see the 4 races working together to have a democratic republic of the middle earth each city etc having a representative men, dwarves, elves and hobbits I can see pippen running for president and giving a speech "As president I promise to get more salted pork, ale and LONGBOTTOM LEAF" (men,dwarves and hobbits cheer) "YEAH" 👋👋, the elves response" WTF " 🤬 lol
I remember growing up watching the peter Jackson films and reading the books, always pretending I was along with Frodo and Sam on their adventure smoking pipe weed and eating lembas... I still do that now many years later XD Tolkien has a way of bringing out the inner child in us and inspiring a sense of wonder that really just changes you for the better!
Toxic_Syndicalist 75 I’m right there with you, my friend! That wonder and joy never goes away! You are the winner of our giveaway! Please contact me with your name, shirt size and shipping address and I will try to get that shirt sent out here soon! Cheers!
Men of the West oh wow, I wasn’t even trying to win a giveaway I was just trying to express that feeling of Tolkien magic that we all experience but this is certainly a pleasant surprise! I’ll email you my details thanks for the shirt and many more thanks for the videos, every one is like a little adventure into a world that helped me become who I am!
" If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world" some guy lol, now let's go get a dozen deep dish pizzas, 300 Buffalo wings, jalapeno poppers, frothy beer and a few packs of cigars and get this party started lol
*_"I'm starving we have ate nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days."_*
_- Some Random Uruk._
SALTED PORK 🥓🥓
Food drink and halfling leaf sounds like a good Saturday night! 🥩🍺🚬💥
Hell yeah let's go to the grocery store get a couple pounds of bacon, sausage and ground beef to cook into meatballs with BBQ sauce and cheese with some beer or margaritas and get this party started lol
You are one of the reasons why i love RUclips, beside creating great content
You seem kind, friendly, and respectful. Yes I've never met you but i can tell from your tone and the way you talk, i'm sure others have noticed too.
normally, it won't make a difference for me if a content creator is actually a good person or not, but i very much value and respect certain traits in people.
I would like to have the lembas recipe. I like to hike and it would be just right. I'm glad you took a look at the food and drink of Middle Earth. It's the little things that provide the foundation for all the swords and sorcery.
Interesting how there's no mention of special dwarf food and drinks. You'd think the dwarves would have some pretty amazing beer. Like Gimli says "The fabled hospitality of the dwarves, roaring fires! Malt beer! Red meat off the bone!"
Green Dragon’s brown ale. I love brown ales, and with a song that catchy, I can only imagine the how good that one is. Love the videos, look forward to them each week.
This video has left me with only one conclusion, your bicept is the thiccest, most succulent snack in all of middle earth
LOL what?! hahaha
Watching and smoking, the finest weed of the west.
As am I
Now I want salted pork and longbottom leaf lol 🌿🌿🌿🍖🍖🍖🥓🥓
This is probably my favorite video! Thank you very much God bless.
note that Tolkien used "corn" in the old english sense, that of a non-specific term for grain (be it spelt, wheat, millet, etc)
the term 'corn' would only come to be attached to the new world plant Maize because the european colonists largely didn't bother to learn the native term for it and used the general term "corn" for it.
(whether Maize existed in Arda is unknown. given that Tobacco, Tomatoes, and Potatoes exist despite being new world crops, that maize is present wouldn't be a big stretch, but we have no specific mention of it)
also it seems very likely that the "petty dwarf roots" of Mim may well have been a form of Potatoes, given its description. If so, presumably hobbits or men rediscovered the plant at some point after mim and the other Petty-dwarves died off.
On the subject of New World plants like tobacco, tomatoes and potatoes appearing in Middle Earth, I've always assumed that these plants basically went extinct in their native habitats at some point in the Fourth Age, only surviving in the Undying Lands from samples brought and cultivated there by some of those who Went West (elves, a notable dwarf, a few hobbits, and one pesky wizard who'd developed a taste for the hobbit leaf), where they were essentially rediscovered after it became possible to sail west for those who weren't elves.
@@cantide8405 the cosmology doesn't quite work that way, and tolkien was pretty clear about that. after the bending of the world at the end of the 2nd age, Valinor and "the west" was literally removed from the now round planet, and what was left bent to create a spherical world. Valinor basically became "heaven" existing in its own reality unconnected to the physical world. only the elves, riding in specific types of ships could still sail an unbent path to leave the physical world and reach valinor.
it never became possible for humans to sail to valinor after that. humans sailing westward would just circle round the planet. (in fact humans trying to sail west to valinor in the 2nd age was what caused Eru illuvitar to remove valinor and bend the world in the first place) we're told that Eru did create some new lands on the bent world to fill the gap where valinor used to be, presumably these would have been an americas analog, but that is the only mention we have of what you find if you sail west o nthe bent world.
now, some of the appendices suggest that pipe weed/tobacco may have been a plant introduced to middle earth by the numenoreans, like athelas, so it is possible that the new world plants we hear mentioned came from Numeneor before it was destroyed when the world was bent, introduced through trade and colonization during the time of the King's Men.
Columbus brought tobacco to the new world ,even ancient Egypt had tobacco
In LOTR, The Two Towers in the chapter titled Flotsam and Jetsam, page 167, is the sentence "He produced a small leather bag full of Tobacco." It was newly found Long Bottom Leaf that Merry offers to share with the rest of the company. Tolkien states that pipeweed is indeed tobacco, case closed...
it's not tobacco, it's Cannabis, suck it up
@@DVDFRMN It must be tough being the poster boy for cannabis brain damaged losers in the world.
@@bsa45acp I didn't realise my opinion would wound you so much
@@DVDFRMN Read the book. Tolkien explicitly called it tobacco, both in LOTR and his other writings. To contradict what the author stated and telling me, and Tolkien too, to suck it up was uncalled for.
@@bsa45acp still hurting eh? what a clown
I’ll take some of that nice wine that distracted all of those elves from Bilbo’s and the dwarves’ escape from the Elvenking’s halls, please and thank you. Love your channel so much!!! ❤️👍👍
hobbits are like extras from half baked: breakfast, second breakfast, smoke a bowl...😆
OK, just ate but now I'm hungry again.
I guess inside we are all Hobbits. And the little guys must eat.
Time to feast, we all must feed our inner Hobbit.
tell me about it lolz, my tummy's always rumbly.....ugh
Salted pork, cheese and longbottom leaf lol
I did yourself a favour and gained yourself a few subs when I was in Hobbiton...And I also had Ginger Beer while there!!!
I would love some Lembas Bread...As they say, "One Small bite can fill a grown man!" and It will help for long journeys...and other things!!! I went to Weta today and some pipe's and other things were on sale!!! You have a games podcast soon...I need money!!!
Thanks for your merriment video Mellon...Until Orcs, Orcs and More Orcs....Marion Baggins Out!!!
in the book it was "one small cake is sufficent for a whole's day's march", which helps explain why the relatively small supply that Frodo and Sam can carry in their packs was expected to be able to feed them not only for the trip into mordor, but also on the trip back out.
I want to see the Podlings from The Dark Crystal and Hobbits just to party it out.
The Ranger Sign me up for that party!
@@nicholaspeters9919 Sure
I would love to have Lembas and miruvor when I’m traveling. No more home made sandwiches kept until afternoon on a hot day washed away with warm water.
I would love to try and smoke the Longbottom leaf! LOTR got me into smoking a pipe. I don’t smoke often about a few times a month but I love it. It helps slow me down and think.
Same. Love the taste and smell. Don't even need to inhale
I don’t inhale either. I just love the taste and smell!
Your basically smoking regular cigarettes but with some hemp in it and it sounds really good lol
The love of the halflings leaf has clearly slowed your mind -saruman, oh good I need some - gandalf lol
5:20 - Miruvor/miruvore = Mirto (myrtle). A digestive minty liquor (a "cordial"), made from the myrtle flower, sacred to Aphrodite.
Note when he(Tolkien) says Corn of the Valar, he does not mean actual corn, i.e. maize. Rather Corn in the European use of it. Corn is used to denote any grain, including wheat and barley. If a European speaks of corn, he means it as a syonym for grain. Usually it will mean wheat, unless otherwise specified. When they speak of Barley corn, it is so denoted, as to mark it is not wheat. The Corn of the Valar could be a superior wheat, or a completely different grain.
Great Video bro
I wish lembas did exist, it would be really helpful for those long days in which you can't eat for a long time
Also miruvor would be pretty helpful in that way.
I think that it could help a lot of people, some of them students like me Hehe
Miruvor sounds fairly similar to something like an elderflower cordial. Those are still widely available, if you're curious to try an (albeit probably less mystical) approximation
you and the philosophergames are rapidly becoming my favourite youtubers, keep it up!
Another great video Yoystan! I always really liked how the food and drink often had what could be viewed as a magic, but just a more pronounced version of the restoration food provides. it was a super subtle thing, which fits really well with the rest of the Tolkien magic system, not much blatant 'impossible to do' magic, just enhancements of traits that existed, it ties together so well
I always wanted lembas, especially after the movies. one bite of a delicious bread and you are energized, even for a daunting task
“Blunt the knives, bend the forks,
Smash the bottle and burn the corks...”
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates!
Being an aficionado of Lothlorien, I always thought that lembas sounded good. The wide based triangular shapes scored into the square loaves @ 1:56, reminds me of the scones sold my local independent coffee shop. And they are still good when occasionally available in the 'day old' basket for half price (in commercial grade plastic wrap instead of leaves).
Lembas bread!
If only because it sounds so much like my home country's specialty corned-based bread, that I love to think it is they are actually one and the same, with the addition of an elvish enchantment of some sort.
Remember that Tolkien meant corn in the British sense of the word meaning a grain like wheat or barley.
Great video as always! I really love those little dives in into the world, history and cultures of Middle Earth 🤗
Thank you so much for your video's. I have been listening to them while getting ready for my trip to Middle Earth with Red Carpet Tours and I really appreciate all your work & research that you put into these videos. This is a great channel! I would love to try lembas bread! ;-)
Oh man. I would love to try a dwarven-style banquet, they have soo much food and beverages! My coleagues at work, including my boss, call me Gimli because of how short I am (only 168cm tall) and I love eating and drinking :D
You sound like me , and your welcome to come feast with me anytime lol🥐🥐🥐🍞🍞🍞🧀🧀🧀🥩🥩🥩🍟🍟🍟🍕🍕🍕🌯🌯🌯🍔🍔🍔🍖🍖🍗🍗
Sounds like you need to grow out a magnificent beard 😉
Dwarves probably throw the best banquets! "Roaring fires, malt beer, and red meat off the bone."
Given that Tobacco stunts one's growth, I think it makes perfectly sense that the Hobbits first smoked it.
Did Hobbits make Pipeweed? Or did Pipeweed make Hobbits?
As a drinker of loose leaf tea, I've always wondered what athelas infusion/tisana tastes like. I imagine it is like mint or chamomile, but I'd like to feel the effects. Honorable mention for miruvor, for similar purpose, but I'm not into alcohol.
Never thought that much about food of that world.
Excellent vi.
3:00 The screencap from Goblin Slayer made me chortle to no end. High Elf Archer hands it out to the party and calls it "Elven Bread" in the anime, but its clearly lembas. I love that you used this screencap.
Great in depth video once more! Keep up the amazing work.
Perfect video to brew a pot of coffee and cook some breakfast too.
Love your videos man.
Well done. Somehow it reminds me of sharing a Christmas Dinner with a older German man, Walter Baum, and his family when I was a young soldier in Schweinfurt Germany.
In the first world war, a Christmas truce was called. British and German troops shared a meal before starting the war back up on boxing day.
I always thought that "earth bread" was potatoes, I even call potatoes "earth bread" and my wife hates it when I do that lol
That makes sense to me. Good call!
Beorning honey cakes sound right up my alley.
I’d also be all about Lambis bread because you wouldn’t need a lot for a trip
I would love to try Lembas, always have. As a kid I got great enjoyment out of tearing off a hunk of baguette and eating it as is. To have a bread that met all the bodies needs? I can't think of anything better! I must have some Elven blood way back in the line ;-)
Great tasty video Men of the West and happy thanksgiving too.
Great video :)
And Yikes. Spreadshirt. I used to work in their sweatshop in Pennsylvania. (I feel justified calling it a sweatshop when they gave us ZERO days off between Halloween and Christmas one year. No weekends or anything. almost sixty days of nonstop workdays. Then they couldn't understand why we were making mistakes.)
Always great videos on this channel!
10:00 This quote! I was so excited when I read this part for the first time! When I realised how paranoid Saruman became and how his obsession slowely drew him mad that he even thought that the smoke rings Gandalf was blowing were a silent dig at him and he thought, if I recall correctly, that Gandalf either knew about Saruman's obsession with the rings of power OR that he knew something about them and was after them himself. Such an insightful paragraph that says so much about their characters.
As for what food or drink Id like to try from Middle Earth thats a tough choice because Id like to try everything. Longbottom leaf is very attractive of course, Id love to know what it tastes like but Im not big on pipes and I cant blow rings of smoke. It would have to be Lembas bread because it 1. it's elvish and I wanna know what their food is like, they have different technology and the making of it is all wrapped in mystery and 2. because as far as I know one little bite would keep me full for a whole day and that sounds wonderfully ecomonic :D is probably good for you too!
Btw they drink tea but is there some equivalent to coffee in ME do you think? That would be wonderful! Mae'govannen mellon!
...to catch a fish, so juicy sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!.....
Very thankful for the maker of this great and amazing lore, for it fills my mind and soul the way Turkey fills my belly ^_^
Also very thankful for this channel, may it go ever on and on to the end of RUclipss days lol
if you wanted to expand on the food, you might reconsidered hunting, fishing, or even how people developed the taste of dragon
That was fantastic.
Thanks.
I would like to have the lembas bread. It somehow reminds me of manna in the Old Testament. But I know this one does not come from heaven, but it says that it is like wafer. Manna is a very mysterious food with a very lengthy description but it sustained the children of Israel daily. And lembas can sustain someone in a whole day journey. If I cannot get manna, why not lembas? 😁
I know it’s been a year, but look up hardtack. It’s been issued to militaries for centuries and is basically real lembas bread. Will keep for years and is very filling. But you’ll def want something to drink with it lol. We used to bet boots they couldn’t eat a whole one in under a minute without drinking something. Always ended about 20 seconds in with them coughing a dust cloud out 😂. Some is cooked so hard that it’s literally inedible without soaking it first.
There's a plant that grows in Israel that has a sweet dew in it that people make bread out of it sometimes called manna
Oh, thank you! I was hoping you would make a video about the foods and drinks of Middle Earth. I greatly enjoyed this and as I watched imagined myself there and partaking in these delicacies. (Well, not so much the Orc drink.) A toast of Shire ale to you!
“The men of the west knew this as sweet Mary Jane”
There are recipes for Lembas, Cram and Miruvar in the "Geeky Chef Cookbook" by Cassandra Reader. Lembas is my favorite.
It would be great to try miruvor and see how great the propertys of it really are. Also the honey cakes are a thought that would be great to have with a flagon of ale and a bit of Old Toby. Yoystan thanks for the great videos and be of good cheer my friend
I would probably want to try Longbottom Leaf or Old Toby. I took up pipe smoking back in 2016 after going through some dark stuff. Smoking calmed me down and prevented me from reliving it. After some counseling, I didn't need to smoke anymore, but decided I still liked it and now I smoke vanilla tobacco out of a cherry wood pipe. The flavor is amazing!
Orc draught was sometimes referred to as Grog if I’m not mistaken.
Ever since the hobbit, I wondered what the elvish wine from the woodland elf kingdom was like. Put the guards to sleep.
Maybe thats what Epsteins prison guards had too. Lol.
Haha ha. Clinton wine served to the guards. Too soon?
@Frank Castle might even have been a full on Brandy.
Frank Castle Same!
Sounds good but I just want some hobbit weed, salted pork and dwarf ale and enjoy by evening , I can see the shire becoming a democratic society and pippen running for president in his speech " I promise you my great hobbits I'll make shire great by producing more salted pork, ale and LONGBOTTOM LEAF!!" (Crowd cheers) YEAH 👋 👋 lol
"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
I loved that quote so true and down right , I took a picture and now my phone background lol
I would love to have some miruvor as I'm getting up in years. 66 now and a lot of mileage so I go to the gym three times a week, but some days I'd rather not and just go even though I don't feel like it, a sip of miruvor would be refreshing and I'd be able to work out longer. Also my lady friend likes to go hiking and I could use a good pick me up then too, especially when it's cold. I would simply love to try it and see how good it is and like I said above it would be very useful.
I would enjoy some South Farthing Leaf and the ale from the Green Dragon. As Merry and Pippen tell us, it’s the only brew for the brave and true.
Look forward to your review on games. I'm just planning a small larp based on the watchful peace era, and tbh, I'm sharing a lot of your videos for inspiration to other players.
Thanks yoistan have a great thanksgiving!
shucks,.. didn't get a chance for the t-shirt
Definitely the Beorning Honeycakes or Lembas Bread. After reading the books as a kid, I think you're always curious to know how they REALLY taste (not just our human approximations). Thanks for another great video.
This video is very wholesome, thanks!
I would love to try the Lembas bread. It's absolutely iconic and I feel it is often overlooked in it's role in sustaining Frodo and Sam through their journey to Mordor.
There’s a great cookbook called “An Unexpected Cookbook”. It’s about this very thing, and it is charming! No lambas, though🤷♀️
very awesome video!! Though the Lembas bread would be good (as it keeps you full for a whole day) but would like to try to honey cakes. they look really good.
I’ve heard of the elvish waybread and of the weed the hobbits smoke but the others I don’t think I have heard of very interesting video and great on the narration and detail loved it!
Great video, Happy Thanksgiving!
Who here got hungry after watching this?
Eating now while watching.
Me
I just ate bean soup, french fries, jalepenos, and a big burger and a beer and I'm hungry again lol
I would try the Miruvor of the elves! It is literally the nectar of the gods!
Would like to try Lembas, for sure - and also Shire tea! Always imagined that cram == hard tack -- had my fill of that, thanks :)
Good Video
🎶Chip the glasses and crack the plates
Blunt the knives and bend the forks
That's what Bilbo Baggins hates
Smash the bottles and burn the corks🎶
Think Lembas bread. Need some energy to get through the day. Awesome video as usual!
The biscuits in the thumbnail look real good.
Also, leave it to elves to make hardtack palatable...
Will you ever cover some of the more ‘obscure’ LOTR adaptations (I.E.) the radio series or dramatized reading? I would love to hear your thoughts on them.
Me too! I listened to them this past year. They're on RUclips.
The Mind's Eye does my favorite audio/radio version of The Hobbit and LOTR.
Elrond: the ring must be destroyed and Sauruman must be captured
Gandalf blowing fat clouds: what
That would be me if I was gandalf lol that's how he gets his wisdom LMAO 😂
I dont usaully eat breakfast at 6 but I will make an exception this week, you made me hungry.
So Galadriel also baked bread too. That is oddly grounding and so cute.
Will you comment on the industrial capacity of Hobbits?
Middle Earth looks like it takes place in a medieval setting, yet the hobbits lacking military involvement look like they are living in the early to mid 19th century.
Based clothing, availability of books & parchment, glass windows and bottles, water wheels, tools and architecture I put them 1800-1840s
Perfect video to watch during breakfast
Amazing video!
Po-ta-toes “Mash ‘em, fry ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew.” Sam really knew his food.
I suggested this video about a year ago this is fantastic
Thank you for this.
I really wanna try them beorning honey cakes
Here's a decent recipe (you might dispense with some of the more extraneous ingredients, such as coconut):
www.grouprecipes.com/95365/fruit-and-honey-bars.html
Mmmm! =^[.]^=
I suspect they are a bit like biscotti, twice baked.
@@Raycheetah the Hero we need. Thanks mate
I made honey sweet cake before I just got regular cake mix and added honey and real maple syrup and it was good
Finally we are getting to the Longbottom Leaf of it...
You can use banana leaves to wrap the bread in. Lots of cultures use them as a food wrapper
Hooray, for another Yoystan video! I just uploaded another LOTRO ambience video to my own channel. No such thing as too much LOTR or Middle Earth
Okay listen. I know tolkein considered tobacco the halfling leaf but in my head canon its cannabis. Fits much better imo with the cultural context and artistry behind it.
I’d love to see you Cover what would happen if Arwen couldn’t save Frodo after being stabbed by the Nazgul on Weathertop!
I would love to try Lembas bread, as the claim Legolas makes seems very interesting and I would love to put it and its original purpose to the test.
I don't know of any drinks I would like to try, as I'm a lightweight and really only drink when having a large meal with friends. Unless it's mead. That stuff is deliciously dangerous. If there is something similar in Tolkien's world, I want some. I don't care if I have to beat Gimli in a drinking contest to get it.
I would lose badly, but I would still try.
I'll have some of those honey cakes with a draught of the Gaffer's home brew while smoking a pipe of Old Toby
YES
I made honey cakes before I just made cake batter with some honey and real maple syrup and baked it and it was good lol
I'm a simple man. A good beer from the Prancing Pony and some of the the Longbottom pipe weed together, would be quite delectable.
