..... On books and movies what did Shelob eat in her web when she didn't get Frodo or Sam?

She lived on a diet of Orcs. So just think about that the next time you're moaning about cabbage or whatnot.

I'm sure she'd eaten the odd elf or gondorian during her life time too, sweeter meat and all that

I kind of figured she'd a lot of Orcs...seeing as how she lived in the pass of Cirith Ungol. Also...if you believe Gollum, Orcs don't taste very good either.

Shelob, if I remember correctly, ate a lot of prisoners Sauron didn't want anymore, and pretty much anything else she could find, mostly orcs.

Orcs and prisoners are indeed Shelob's diet:

I can't remember if the film mentioned what Shelob usually ate. |

I think it is mentioned that Shelob eats orcs in the films, I think Gollum says something to the effect of “She only gets nasty orcses to eat, and that doesn’t taste so nice do they precious.” I don’t remember the exact quote though.

Also in the movies I think the orc mentions she likes 'fresh blood'. Would have to check though.
