Well, I don't know if it's "better than the honey-cakes of the Beornings. . ." but I want to try it some day. I'd skip the raisins, though. For some reason, I never visualized raisins in the
lembas. I always thought they looked like a plain kind of cookie, like the bland
cram Gimli thinks it is at first. Then you bite into them and Yum!
I've done the herbs and stewed rabbits...I'm going to soon do the seedcake, when OT has the recipe perfected, then maybe I'll try the lembas.
What do you think, OT? You thinking of trying this?
Yes, I'm thinking about it although it's been a while since I last looked at the Lembas recipe (it's on my laptop HD). Should I finish my "method development" on the seedcake first? I'd like to see how it does with the unbleached flour/cracked wheat combo eventually. I'm more like Pippin than ever...growing "sideways." :)
Lembas like a cookie? Funny - I always pictured lembas looking like little square-cut cornbread. - and yellow.
