StrawberriesWild red berriesA plant of wooded banks and hillsides, the wild strawberry spreads by extending runners along the ground. Its berries appear from short stalks with pale leaves, growing from white flowers, each of which produces a small red fruit. These wild strawberries are globular in shape and covered with tiny seeds. Wild strawberries of this kind grow widely across the Northern Hemisphere, and so doubtless they were equally commonplace in Middle-earth. They were found by Bilbo Baggins growing along the banks of a stream running down from the Misty Mountains, as Thorin and Company were making their urgent escape from the Goblins of the mountains. The company had lost their supplies to the Goblins, and the ravenous Bilbo managed to harvest three of the tiny red berries to eat, but they provided only a meagre meal. Notes
