FLASHBACK:
Legolas pulled out the box of strange brown spheres from his pack. He had brought it along as he knew he would be gone a while and the food would not keep. Encouraged by his first try at preparing warg meat earlier, Legolas was feeling adventurous in sampling new foods. He saw the two Men eyeing him curiously and he offered them a piece each with a warning.
"The Hobbits sent it, so I am sure it was edible. But I have yet to try it; so you are trying at your own peril."
