Hi all, I tried searching for any mention of this but came up with nothing.

Often when driving around my home city of Sheffield in the UK, I notice a van with the word LEMBAS written across the side in a sort of celtic styled font. As you can imagine this has intrigued me greatly- have some elves survived into these modern days and are now peddling their most sacred cure for the munchies? Well yesterday the van finally drove close enough to me to read the web address- http://www.lembas.co.uk/lembas.html (yes it seems obvious to me now) so I logged on to t'interweb and took a look. The folks who create the bread and other various foodstuffs say this about themselves-

"LEMBAS started out as a Bakery in 1982, supplying unprocessed additive free, healthy, breads.

Our name is taken from "Lord of the Rings" by J.R.R. Tolkein.
LEMBAS was the bread that the Elves took with them on long journeys,
a light food giving sustenance and well being.

LEMBAS = ELF BREAD = HEALTH BREAD!!

Corny and sad ... but true!"

Thought it might bring a smile to you, its corny and sad but true- just what I like
