Wafer of Lembas - Page 3

Ërendil · 03-15-2002, 04:40 PM

I have seen a picture of Lembas - they are creamy yellow wafer things wrapped in a yellow leaf. They are quite big as well.

Well, the other day i realisd that there was such a thing as edible paper, now being a curious person i bought some and i imagin lembas to be like that. It was wafer-thin and slighlty yellowish. However, it was not that nice so i presume lembas would be nicer because elves made iut.

I generally assume anything the elves make is nice

Lembas kinda reminds me of manna from the Bible. Just read the description of manna. I'd write it here but I'm too lazy to get my Bible and look it up.

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-17-2002, 02:29 PM

Manna. Hmm. That's interesting. I should try to find the description of it. . .

Khadrane · 03-19-2002, 12:04 AM

I think there's at least a general description of it. I'll try to find it tonight sometime.

Khadrane · 03-19-2002, 12:24 AM

Exodus 16:31 (I think)

Eruviel Greenleaf · 03-19-2002, 01:14 AM

The next problem is if I can actually manage to find a bible in my house to look at. . .oh, I remember where it is. . .good. Because I am very interested to read the description. Thanks for the suggestion, Khadrane!

Khadrane · 03-19-2002, 08:27 PM

You're welcome. I think the description is something like that it looks like coriander(?) seeds and tastes like wafers made with honey or something like that.

BeardofPants · 03-21-2002, 08:00 PM

I always though it looked liked those round rice wafers we used to eat as kids....

Khadrane · 03-26-2002, 02:19 PM

Ewww... those things are NASTY!

Elf Girl · 03-26-2002, 03:15 PM

I like them. But Lembas is waaaaaaaay better than that.

markedel · 03-26-2002, 03:52 PM

I wish there were kosher for passover lembas. But they'd probably taste bad.

galadriel88 · 03-26-2002, 07:52 PM

I think manna is a pretty good description. That's about how I imagined them. I always thought of them wrapped in a cloth though, not a leaf, and kinda lumpy, not so flat. And very soft, never crunchy.

Aragorn, where is that spoiler page you were talking about?

I know!! I was just thinking about that. . .I was going to make some lembas, but then I realized Passover starts tomorrow. . .

This person claims to have the original recipe for Lembas, written by Tolkien himself! I will definitely be trying it out very soon.

I kinda have my doubts about the origin story, but I'm interested to hear the results.
