Fanwork Notes

I remembered Bilbo thinking about gathering blackberries back in the Shire in The Hobbit.

Later, I looked at the discussion in Walter and Graham Judd's Flora of Middle-earth.

Chapter End Notes

"They will be harvesting and blackberrying" is a thought Bilbo thinks to himself in the chapter "Over Hill and Under Hill" in The Hobbit.

"Blackberry tart"  is among the food served by Barliman Butterbur in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Piukka (in the title) is Qenya (early Quenya) for "blackberry" (according to Eldamo here).
