Ent draught was not made of plants or animals. It was made from the waters of the entwash, distilled in a certain way. It was likely very high in minerals.

Yeah, but he wanted to eat them.

But I would have to assume that Elves do not eat Orcs. And having been a vegetarian myself for 4.5 yrs (but no longer, and currently only eating meat on average, once a week) that I would think that some Elves were probably vegetarians also. But not all as a rule. I could definitely see the Noldor taking down a deer or two. Or perhaps, Elves preferred a vegetarian lifestyle, but ate meat on occasion as necessity. |

Yeah, I think I said earlier that I easily imagine the Noldor being meat eaters.

Orcs, perhaps? Though that was in the middle of the Siege of Angband, so that is doubtful. It seems Eastern Beleriand was quite a good hunting ground for animals, as the land of Amras, son of Feanor, just below Estolad was quite a popular hunting ground, especially with Finrod. The man sure liked his hunting.
Or maybe he just liked the sons of Feanor, after all he was the wisest of the Noldor in M-E... |

In places in the book where Orcs are mentioned there seems to be a set up to the scene, where your mind conjures up dark images and dread. I don't get that feeling when I read the passages about the guys off hunting. |
