What did Shelob Eat?....
 

..... On books and movies what did Shelob eat in her web when she didn't get Frodo or Sam?

She lived on a diet of Orcs. So just think about that the next time you're moaning about cabbage or whatnot. :D

I'm sure she'd eaten the odd elf or gondorian during her life time too, sweeter meat and all that

And rocks are pretty filling too...

I kind of figured she'd a lot of Orcs...seeing as how she lived in the pass of Cirith Ungol. Also...if you believe Gollum, Orcs don't taste very good either.

Shelob, if I remember correctly, ate a lot of prisoners Sauron didn't want anymore, and pretty much anything else she could find, mostly orcs.

Orcs and prisoners are indeed Shelob's diet:

–"Shelobs Lair", The Two Towers.

I can't remember if the film mentioned what Shelob usually ate.

I think it is mentioned that Shelob eats orcs in the films, I think Gollum says something to the effect of “She only gets nasty orcses to eat, and that doesn’t taste so nice do they precious.” I don’t remember the exact quote though.

Also in the movies I think the orc mentions she likes 'fresh blood'. Would have to check though.
