but having it broken down into detail doesn't make it any more impressive; probably less so.

Yep, that's very true, and that's a reason why I love Jolly old Tom Bombadil. Oh, and welcome back, where have you been all this time? Maybe you were searching for a new avatar (it's a very nice one), but The Saucepan Man is right, it's good to see you again. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"Each of the Dúnedain carried in a sealed wallet on his belt a small phial of cordial and wafers of a waybread that would sustain life in him for many days - not indeed the Miruvor or the Lembas of the Eldar, but like them, for the medicine and other arts of Númenor were potent and not yet forgotten"

I do think that these arts survived to Aragorn's age. I don't think he mentioned it when Gimli was talking about the lembas and cram because I think that it was probably supposed to be kept secret. But I don't think that the Dunedain forgot, I actually think that Tolkien forgot.
