The gift-giving scene. It would have cleared up a lot of stuff that might get dicey later on; the lembas issue, for example. You could lose an awful lot of subplots because that one scene; Gimli's crush on Galadriel, Sam and his box of earth etc, Sam's elven-rope, etc. And while a lot of it will probably get worked in somehow (there's a still out there somewhere which shows Sam with a coiled silvery rope by his side) after a while it's going to be like "Hey, where *did* Pippin get that brooch anyway?" "What's lembas" "Where did Sam get the rope from?" etc.
