"Fruit, eh?" pondered Birdie. "Well, I don't think they have apple trees growing under the sea, Child. Least not from what I saw."
Bird shrugged "The Mer-Folk have food. Some of it's sweet, some sour, some meaty, and some..."bready". And fish, of course, Herds and herds of fish. They have fields, or groves, as you might say, since they do no plowing. And they have plants. And they have some things that look like plants, but I don't think they are."
But it's all good. Very tasty. I never had a better feast, not since leaving Gondolin. But then again, come to think of it, I WAS in Gondolin! Perhaps they should call it "New Gondolin", eh?"
But you asked for food, and the Mer-Folk have it, and are willing to share with us. If you want the details of exactly WHAT you wll be eating, I suggest you ask Kali. I for one, thought it best not to ask."
