The Numenorean Frying Pan

November 18

Kanom Krok – A favorite street food in Thailand, these delicious coconut-rice pancakes are cooked in an indented frying pan, giving a crisp outside and a lovely custardy interior.

Read The Numenorean Frying Pan

Elros Tar-Minyatur is not a legend for nothing. Númenor and uncaring mother and all that is one thing, but what really earned him renown was his heroic defence of the realm when it was attacked by spiders. Giant spiders. Reports of Ungoliant’s death had been greatly exaggerated, and the monstrous spirit still walked the earth, still with the same old lusts. Melkor may have been banished forever, but his old flame managed to enter the coveted ‘love to hate’ category by not being quite so crazy. What’s a little home invasion now and then? That’s what spiders do.

Well what Numenorean’s do is be epic. When reports reached him of the approach of the arachnid queen and her brood, Elros took up his wife’s frying pan, approached the beast while she was distracted by consuming his treasure hoard, and bashed the monumental beast over the head with the iron cooking implement, denting both it and Ungoliant’s carapace. 

“Argh! Half-elven! Rude! Rude!” shrieked the Gloomweaver, proceeding to consume the rest of the treasure before leaving.

And so the Frying Pan of Elros entered the list of legendary artefacts populating Middle Earth, one day to end up in a certain hobbit’s kitchen.
