Of what did they taste?

I should hypothesize that Ents do not taste entirely like trees...

After all, it is never stated, totally, that Ents are spirits inhabiting trees. They are similar, of course, but not the same. They do not have roots, obviously, and require the ability to move on a near-constant basis.

Therefore, although I would say that Ents are quite tree-like, with wood for bones and bark for skin, I would hypothesize that any "muscles" would be a softer tissue. Spinach-like, or cabbage-y maybe.

Therefore, cooked properly, Ents make sauerkraut.

Which goes good with pork.
