Since you said that you don't mind spoilers, this is what happened in the Flotsam and Jetsam chapter of the EE. The camera goes back to Merry and Pippin walking around in waist-deep water, and they both shoot off a couple of great wisecracks. (Pippin says: Oh yes, it's a quality establishment. I hear the staff are very good. (Referring to Isengard)) Pippin then says that he's starving, and randomly finds a floating apple in the water. He looks up at the sky for a while (an allusion to the apple-throwing scene in FotR with Aragorn and Pippin) and then both Hobbits realize that there is food floating in the water. They go back to the source, and find Saruman's storeroom. They find two barrels of Longbottom Leaf, and start smoking. Unfortunately, there is no Theoden involved.
