potatoes are canon, anon. it's right there in the book.

idk about tomatoes though, I don't remember and I'm so jaded on Tolkien fandom that I can't even bring myself to stretch over and grab the book.

if non-British produce is the hill you want to die on, go right ahead. I for one could not possibly be "taken out" of the amazing worldbuild over a few potatoes.

Don't forget the maize!

[tree_and_leaf]

The maize was particularly silly because it's not a traditional British crop, even in the more generous sense that potatoes and tomatoes are. It's not grown much in the UK even today, and it certainly wasn't grown in the thirties and and forties - so it looks wrong to me because the Shire is so heavily based on an idealised late nineteenth/ early twentieth century rural England (but minus any kind of mechanised agricultural equipment).

I mean, it didn't destroy the film for me, but it looks weird.
