Coffee! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

All this talk of coffee importation begs the question: did they have mules in Middle-Earth, because they are the traditional beast of burden for such fare. I have yet to see mention of a donkey in M-E, and if the Rohanians had mules, they'd never admit it.

Oooooooh, and what about those biscotti? Could it be that the Elven lembas was, in fact, a crunchy, almond-flavored flatbread?

Though I suppose the Dwarves preferred crullers.
