Maybe Lembas was a kind of Galaxy or Green and Blacks chocolate developed by Elven women as a comfort food to stuff their faces with after facing all that washing up left behind by the Barbecue binges of the men?

I have to respectfully disagree with the lembas being a kind of chocolate theory only for the fact (according to movie Legolas) that one bite is enough to go on(something of that nature) and I can never stop at one bite of chocolate

thanks for the explanation, Mith.

In Mexico in the Mayan time chocolate was used as an energy drink. And just one sip could keep even a warrior going for a day. Or maybe thats more like the drink the hobbits are given lotr (I forget its name).
