Aren't chapatis also made from tater flour?

I'm not surprised Elves didn't know about taters though. They probably existed on that vile no-carbs Atkins diet, looking at how skinny they were (I wonder if they also had the bad breath?).

Are you suggesting that tater cakes could form the staple ingredient in lembas? Or are tater cakes best eaten when hot off the griddle? Or would it just be tater flour in lembas?
