Q. Are there tomatoes in Middle-earth?

Not any more. There were some brought from Numenor, but most were eaten up by the Last Alliance during Great Siege, and the last one has been squashed at Sauron's face by joint effort of Elendil and Isildur (you see, weapons broken et al, they have had nothing more suitable handy). In memory of the event (as he was lucky and noone destroyed his Precious), Sauron has chosen Single Red Squashed Tomato for a badge. But orkses are uncultured and uneducated folk, never coming to know particulars of vegetable-growing, so they've thought it was Single Red Eye.

Q. There are some things money can't buy. What is for everything else in ME?
