Elves


Elves are not vegetarians as some might expect. Elves live in harmony with nature, but living in harmony means both giving and taking, and they have no qualms about hunting for food. Elves rarely raise domestic animals but do raise domestic fruits and vegetables.

Meat is more common in the elves diet than in the human. Beef and mutton are not found on the elf’s table, Venison, wild boar and rabbit are common. Chicken is unusual but other fowl are not.

Seafood is a favorite food of elves and is almost always found on an elves table. saltwater seafood can even be found miles from any source.

All vegetables are basically the same but peas (although still common) would not be the staple found in the human kitchen.

Mead cake:
dense sweet bread made with both honey and mead. The mead is used as the leavening agent. This bread preserves well and travels well so, like the dwarfs stone bread, it is commonly used as trail rations (though not as often as Lembas qv).

Lembas: A flat bread made with honey. It is specifically made as a trail ration. These cakes are wrapped in mellron leaves to keep them fresh even longer.
