This was wonderful. I expected to see the hobbits discussing them and was pleasantly surprised when Boromir told his little story--that part was very well done. But I was just thrilled when Gimli chimed in. That was completely unexpected and in character. I love how a little discussion of mushrooms shows so much about the fellowship. Great job. Author Reply: Hi, Elliska, and thanks for reading. I've found that Gimli is so fun to write about, that I'm actually considering writing a story about him. Anyway, thanks for reading. I'm glad you liked it. :) Werecat | |

I loved this scene. You captured the fun of the moment while giving us a look at the different customs of men, elves, dwarves and hobbits...and a wizard. Funny how shared food can bring us all together. I liked that everyone was willing to try preparations of the mushrooms other than what they were used to. I was pleased that Legolas didn't turn his nose up at the mushrooms considering his experience with 'death-hats'. The mushrooms of his home would make anyone think twice about consuming 'any' sort of mushroom. Cooperation of the Fellowship in such a simple thing showed us how open they were becoming with one another. Just delightful. Karen Author Reply: Hi, Karen, and thanks for reading. Apart from my diet, inspiration for this fic came from watching my cats eating. I thought if food brings *them* together, what would it do to the Fellowship? And, of course, I love mushrooms... Thanks again for reading, Werecat | |

I loved this! "On the Quest" fics, especially with the whole Fellowship bonding and sharing, are some of my favorite stories to read. I'm not wild about mushrooms myself, but the way you write about them makes me hungry! Author Reply: Thanks, Shirebound! Truth be told, Fellowship stories are not my usual subject, but, as a true mushroom enthousiast, I *had* to write this. Thanks for reading, Werecat | |

Oh, I love the subject and the writing. Well, well done. Felt I was sitting there with them, and missed only the smell of the mushrooms cooking. Author Reply: Thanks, Larner! I'm glad you liked it! Werecat | |

Oh this is nice! I do love fics with food in them. This is almost a recipe fic! And my favorite part of the Quest--before Caradhras and Moria! What a lovely combination! Thank you! Author Reply: Thanks, Dreamflower! Yes, I guess you could say this is a "recipe" fic, lol! Thanks for reading! | |
