Well, the precise ingredients of swarfega are a national secret...

And thanks for asking about Lucida! Yes, she is doing well, and now has a mate named Gill after the beautiful Gill Sands beach- which- who knows? -might soon be standing in for the were-worm-infested Last Desert!

Good news. Sorry I didn’t spot that autocorrect had altered Lucida’s name. Too startled by dwarf egg. I suppose the shell might contribute to swarfega’s unique texture.

My apologies for not replying, Mithalwen!. The islands must have migrated into a different wi-fi zone between posts! (It happens.

)

Anyway, I am afraid that I can neither confirm nor deny any speculations regarding what might or might not go into swarfega* (other than the mangrove blossoms), except to point out that our islands- despite being sometimes described as a "banana republic"- actually produce a wide variety of fruit and vegetables, along with oil, phosphates and fully desalinated alchohol! Really, the possibilities are endless!

I'm hoping this is a satirical article?

No, I'm afraid Herald of Mandos has been proven time and time again as an impeccable source for all things relating to Tolkien in the media.

We're doomed.
