Well, in the text available to us, Sam stewed Gollum's rabbits in water with a few herbs, and added a side of lembas. He also suggested doing fish-and-chips for Gollum, who disliked the idea. We have to remember that Tolkien was not a biologist; that between the first and second edition of _The Hobbit_ somebody must have told him that tomatoes were New World, and he substituted pickles in the second edition; and that he explained the presence of _Nicotiana_ in Middle-earth by assuming the Numenoreans who brought it to Middle-earth had acquired it from visiting Elves. The same *could* be true of taters, but he never said so. As to turnips, I don't care for them so I don't cook them. Could one make chips out of turnips? Probably ... I know one can now buy sweet-potato chips*, only I don't know if they're made of New World sweet-potatoes or African yams. _____ In the American sense of "French fries," not the British sense of "crisps." -- Dorothy J.
