Have you ever thought about this🤔🤣

@Gollumgram They literally raid inns and taverns those have menus its not that deep

@Gollumgram “Menu” in English can also mean a set of options (eg a file menu in computing, a movie menu on a flight). Presumably what’s happened here is the Uruk-Hai said something like “meat’s an option again” and the translator used the idiomatic English expression for a Westron phrase

@Gollumgram This is how the rings of power episodes were thought up 😝

@Gollumgram I don't know... that sounds pretty orkaphobic to me... assuming just because they growl and look like pigs that they can't order a Chardonnay? Their society is very complex. Of course, they would have menus. Their choices are: hot gruel, cold gruel. With eyeballs as appetisers.

@Gollumgram They’re Uruk Hai, not Orcs. They were once elves, so they have brains. Orcs are the dumber ones and they raid places like the prancing pony

@Gollumgram Go back to Game of Thrones, dude.

@Gollumgram Sauron has the most developed capitalist system in Middle-earth, based on heavy industry, mining, ironworking, arms smuggling, foreign trade with the Haradrim and the corsairs of Umbar, a caste system, and a country that could be a world power like we-know-which-one

@Gollumgram Actually in some scene of Lotr the orc “union leader” talks to S so… there was an union, And from Silmarillion we learn that orcs did have a society (a bit bare but they did and were not only about war). So one could imagine they had the concept of “menu / restaurant”.

@Gollumgram This is exactly how Amazon ruined the series.

@Gollumgram looks like gay takes are back on he menu boys

@Gollumgram The idea of an orc Chef is not so outlandish. And the chef probably has a list of things he's willing to cook, AKA a menu

@Gollumgram The fact that I don't have a dad doesn't mean I don't know what a dad is... 😢

@Gollumgram I'm pretty sure the prancing pony has menus

@Gollumgram Yeah, 2008 internet wants its joke back.

@Gollumgram @MichaelNormanGV

@Gollumgram I think there's maybe one or two orc blacksmiths to make the anvils and thousands of swordsmiths to use the anvils.

@Gollumgram The economy is strictly organizes for war effort through forced labor. The Plains in the south of Mordor, are good for growing food, which is done by human slaves. It is possible that slaves and orcs occasionally have a small variety to choose from to eat if it strengthens morale

@Gollumgram Canonically the tale is translated into English from Westron, written mostly by Frodo. So that phrase is either a choice by Frodo or the translator.

@Gollumgram The Shadow of Mordor & Shadow of War games answer pretty much all of these questions.

@Gollumgram Dude wants to turn Mordor into Orkistan

@Gollumgram Well you see.... Hillary Clinton sent money to Saudi Arabia and out of that came isis Sauroman funds the uriki Sauron drives the others through malice and hate Layer upon layers of astroturfing mercenaries

@Gollumgram This is what happens when you think too much and don't stop for a moment to use your brain properly.

@Gollumgram There are restaurants in Middle Earth. The Hobbits met Aragorn at one. Nerd fail.

@Gollumgram Imagine an orc asking himself the same question about humans, when they probably know nothing about them because where they meet is at war. 🫠

@Gollumgram @FL0WER___CHiLD

@Gollumgram there isn't menus in the prancing pony? there weren't any other taverns in all middle earth??? orkaphobic imo xD

@Gollumgram this is why yall shouldn't be allowed access to tolkien

@Gollumgram Wow that rabbit hole 🕳️ was deep!

@Gollumgram There's a BTS clip with Peter Jackson talking about this. He pretty much just says "Yeah I know it doesn't make sense but I like the line."

@Gollumgram I’m confused most fans don’t know that Uruks and Orcs are two separate species

@Gollumgram 🤯

@Gollumgram I know he's making a Joke But The inns have meals, drinks and menus even if they just write it on a board. But also to the nerdy nitpickers:
