Rae, I always just thought that the "way" in waybread referred to the way or road that the person eating it was presumably on. I always thought of the non-Elvish (Lake-town) waybread as being like hardtack; filling, easily transported, and doesn't go bad but not very exciting either. Sort of the Ramen of Middle-Earth. (For some reason I always think of fast food as food that's made quickly, where hardtack-style stuff tends to take a long time to bake). Wheybread - hmmm, that could be kind of scary after a few days, especially if it wasn't kept cold...
