Frank and Emily is always my favorite colab (on all of RU-vid). You guys make such a great team. I love that you're also geeks and we are getting more of that content. Please feel free to make this a massive series.
“Instead of a dark ruler, you would have a queen; Not dark, but beautiful and horrific to look at in the morning, sweet as the ketchup, stronger than the foundations of the earth. Everyone will love me and despair!
One Video to rule them all, One Video to find them, One Video to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
These look really neat! If we're talking LotR, when I was a kid I really wanted to try Ent-draught because I wanted to get tall. As an adult, that sounds like a fun addition to cocktail hour. Something botanical! edit: As Frank is talking about corn cookies I am thinking very fondly about the one I got from Schmackary's on Friday. I miss it. It was delicious.
OMG Emily this was everything I didn't know I needed in my life right now! It makes me so happy to know that you and Frank are both fellow nerds. With the LOTR music in the background, this made me smile so much, making me remember how much I loved LOTR and bringing me back to a better time. Please keep doing these! Not just LOTR but other fantasy and sci-fi franchises as well, I think you guys can have a lot of fun putting these episodes together and these would help inspire me to start creating again.
Honey is canon in general, absolutely, but it’s not a known ingredient in lembas, is what I meant! Though hard to imagine the elves refining sugar, right? (the only ingredient I could find in any of the books was corn, and that was in The Peoples of Middle Earth)
now you have to make a stew with a brace of coneys and potatoes-- which i hear are excellent mashed, boiled, or stuck in such a stew 😆 just don't make any dishes that Smeagol would approve of; we don't want them raw and ~wriggling~
Really enjoyed the video! But one small, nerdy note: when Tolkien used the word "corn", he used it in the British sense of "any grain", such as wheat or barley. He almost certainly did not mean maize.
Great Episode you Two i would love more lord of the rings stuff :) i also want to drop a snipped of inspiration there is a whole Hobbit Cookbook out there (at least its available here in germany) with loads of great recipes for hardy to sweet. And also toward Frank " a Song of Ice and Fire" (or Game of Thrones) has tons of "Regional" Foods in it From a bowl of Brown from the Poor in Kingslanding to exotic dishes of Dorn :) just for inspiration :)
aaah emily and frank. love you both. Hope you are having a lovely day. I watch you for your personality btw Emily i'm a level 0 chef i can't do anything not in an air fryers and wendy's is 2 mins walking distance from my house lmao; they're my chef
This was fantastic! I host a Lord of the Rings marathon every November and will absolutely be cooking these for everyone this year -- thanks Emily and Frank!
yes!! yay!! I have a couple other LOTR recipes on my blog from my last marathon if you want *even more*: slamduncan.substack.com/p/lotr-marathon-menu-special-edition
You did nothing with PO-TA-TOES! It's a shame because you had so many options. You could have boiled them, mashed them or stuck them in a stew. Still, kinda jonesing for some lembas cookies right about now...
@@EmilyDuncan Truth! I'm still waiting for my house to be rebuilt after a fire, though, and as I absolutely am a hobbit, I plan to have a very hobbitish party when I get back in. Please thank Frank for the Lembas ideas!
@@EmilyDuncan There are some pretty good Gagh recipes online using various noodles and even some made out of gummy like snakes that are sweet. You can make a thin chocolate sauce to make it look genuine.
Actually have just found a savory recipe for Gagh using Chicken stock and Miso paste. The directions said to use straws, but I've done the sweet ones with molds off Amazon.
