The 5 Best Food Scenes In Lord Of The Rings

Every place has various dishes and culinary traditions that are important to it, and food itself is such a pillar of society. It brings people together and defines whole cultures. Food is important to real people and places, but it's just as important when creating a fictional world. Food moments are memorable, and their often the scenes that stick out the most in a movie or TV show.

There's an argument to be made that no franchise has more iconic food scenes than Lord of the Rings. There are so many moments in the series that either involve or center around consuming some sort of food. A lot of fans even host watch parties where they prepare and eat the different food items as they come up in the film, as a way to get more immersed in the story (and to try out some of that delicious Middle-earth cuisine). From lembas bread to shortcuts to mushrooms, here are just a few of the most memorable food moments from Lord of the Rings.

Pippin's insistence on a second breakfast is one of the most iconic lines from the series, and is not only a good summation of his character, but is also a little insight into the daily lives of Hobbits. Food and rest are concepts that are very important to the halflings, which is made clear through Pippin's listing of their various meals throughout the day, exceeding the normal three meals a day of Western culture. Of course, there are many places in the world that observe these sort of in-between meals as meals within themselves, so it's not like Pippin is being unreasonable. After all, they're about to go on quite a harrowing journey, so maybe a second breakfast or two is the right call.
