Orcs have bread rations; this means there must be orcs or other races that work as bakers. There must also be millers and farmers. They are also issued some kind of horrible alcoholic drink, so they must have brewers and barrel makers. They wear armor, hence there is a need for blacksmiths and miners and engineers to design the forges. Fire is needed to power them, alas they need loggers and people to transport the wood. A society geared toward total war still need carpenters, textile workers, people to make and maintain infrastructure, construction workers, cooks, bowyers, fletchers, couriers, I could go on and on. Is it really that far fetched to think that an orc would be at least familiar with the concept of a menu?

hmm yes

Orcs stole all of that shit you listed.

It wouldn't be viable to feed the armies of Mordor and Isengard on stolen bread. The inefficiencies in distribution would lead to it becoming full of maggots and unpalatable.

They stole bread and and rations to supply an army in the range of +100 000 strong, every day? From who? Do you have any idea the amount of food a standing army consumes?

Yeah. They stole it from each other, and because their armies were so big there was a lot to go around.

Maybe they also stole menus

they buy all that shit from saurons allies using money they loot during raids

>implying Sarumaun didn't just make the bread himself by breeding wheat and goblin-men

Whats mordors tax policy?
Is military service mandatory for all orcs?
Are there orc women?

But what was Saurons tax policy?

How would they steal menus?

Menus are specific to the available foods, even if they had all the ingredients required in the listed dishes on the stolen menus, it wouldn't be reasonable to dedicate the time required in their preparation. They would also require frequent changing based on the available foods, and so on. It wasn't be reasonable to operate off a once-off stolen menu.

Doesn't seem to far fetched there'd be orc women, the most popular theory is that they're corrupt elves so it would only make sense.

Someone archive this thread and send it to space, this thread fully sums up Sup Forums

sauronman probably just magically downloaded elrond's middle-earth dictionary, 14e, into their or brains when he breeds them.

wind your neck in, bellend

Go google a map of the middle earth, see that inner sea close to mordor and the region around it? that's the fertile soil where sauron keeps supply production, you think a ww1 veteran doesnt know about logistics?

You're not wrong, OP. But Sup Forums loves its memes too much.

Armies could feed themselves by foraging until 19th century in Western Europe

Orcs have menus to pick from; this means that there must be orc gourmet chefs accompanying bands out in the field. There must also be Orc sous chefs to prepare the sauced for the meals, andOrc waiters to gather the orders. Orcs must also work as washers, and help to clean up after he orc chefs. To keep he orcs supplied with the freshest ingredients there must also be orc couriers that transport fresh ingredients directly from the source, which must, again also be Orc run, therefore orc farmers would till the fields, orc fisherman would fish, orc cattle farmers, orc poultry farmers etc would supply these ingredients.

Nurn, southern part of Mordor that has big lake in there is a bread basket, slaves produce some goods there.

Memes aside, where was it ever said or even implied that orcs don't farm?

At least I believe it's mention in the books and not some derivative work.

Eh, armies in the 30 years war could sustain themselves for a week or two in the same general area by foraging and buying and looting crops and cattle while leaving the populace destitute when they left. These armies were around 10 000 men strong. Having a standing army is an incredible strain on the land they camp on.

this post is criminally underrated - but also, has an actual point. In the movie, Uruk-hai spring from the terrain...

I'd love a qt3.14 orc gf, probably a better bet than a elf slut

>cooler clothes and jewelry

>even the shittiest person will be seen as a saint compared to your average uruk-hai; she'll stick with you
>can be sustained on nothing but maggoty bread for three stinking days

All in all orc grills are less maintenance, simpler, more fun and gregarious than your average stuck up elf bitch who just wants to stay in rivendell, read books, listen to poetry and other faggy shit. She will probably sigh when you belch and throw a fit if you step on a flower or something. In the end she will probably just cuck you with some elf chad anyway.

Knowing that Mordor is a desolate wasteland at large, Sauron probably has to import shit from his evil men servants, otherwise orcs might have turned to cannibalism.

I actually agree with you.

Elves are objectively the most overrated fantasy race. I'd happily genocide all elf shitters.

a good part of inner Mordor is farmable.

Orcs have a whole caffeteria in Isengard, but because of the war they are having a meat shortage, you can usually see some uruk hai drinking frappuchinos around the Tower

Farmed by men taken as slaves, not orcs.

Only the Plateau of Gorgoroth is a volcanic wasteland. Like 9/10 of the country is semi-arid farmland surrounding the Sea of Nurn, whuch is worked by armies of slaves.

What is the loot tax rate?

>yfw Sam would've made Gorgoroth great again

But why can't they have any meat products then?

Meat import taxes are too high because of the war

Production of bread requires substantially fewer resources than production of meat.

But what about captured resources such as prisoners? Surely they would be fresh and a potential source of meat.

Gondor trade sanctions on the man of the west gave a huge hit on mordor's production, some say the White City's economic adiviser was the person who won the war

They don't produce meat, they eat men.

>We are the fighting Uruk-hai! We slew the great warrior. We took the prisoners. We are the servants of Saruman the Wise, the White Hand: the Hand that gives us man's-flesh to eat.

They needed the prisoners to do manual labour. Plus if orcs typically consume meat with the speed at which they cannibalized that orc dude in ROTK, that wouldn't last them very long.

But Aragorn has no import tax policy.

>White City's economic adiviser
Who was the guy?

The ''unkown tax hero'' as he is called

What was Isengard's tax policies, and do you think the orcs formed a union when he started to outsource to Uruk-hai?

the taxman?

>mfw it's actually plausible

>ctrl+f the scripts of all 6 LOTR and Hobbit movies for the word tax
>0 results

PURE trash.

Whatever he is, I'm sure that the people of White city will remember him.

Sad to see that the heroes from the shadows arent given the importance they deserve in every work of fiction!

It's right from the books.

>Neither he nor Frodo knew anything of the great slave-worked fields away south in this wide realm, beyond the fumes of the Mountain by the dark sad waters of Lake Núrnen; nor of the great roads that ran away east and south to tributary lands, from which the soldiers of the Tower brought long waggon-trains of goods and booty and fresh slaves.

How were the slaves distributed across the land, how much were they bought for, how much of mordeor's budget did they made up for
come on

How's the moons over my-hammy?
Quite maggoty... Also we are out of eggs and ham, may we substitute bread?
That will do Garcon.
Very good, sir.

If only a truly good writer had done Lord of the Rings.

This guy

Any more pics like that,pal?

Was Tolkien a hack?

Apparently they also assume gender.

>Not a single description of Frodo suffering from diarrhea at any point of his journey

Undoubtedly.

Was Gorbag a fiscal conservative or more of a Keynesian?

Truly a literary genius

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPFFFFFFFFPPPPPPPPSSSSPUHPUHPUHPUHPPPPPPPFFFF

Agreed

Is it bad that this gave me a boner?

Were there tax cuts for using slave labour? How much was the tax on buying and selling slaves? Can you deduct them as dependants? As pets? So many questions.

Is George Raymond Richard Martin Sup Forums's notorious brap-poster?

>see that inner sea
You mean the lake?

What makes me angry about this is that he doesn't talk about fucking tax policy either.

Dude, was it Frodo and Sam or Merry and Pippin who were forced to drink some kind of beverage that helped them march with the orcs, because I can't remember? But I do remember that Frodo and Sam wore orcish armor and were forced to march with other orcs when they were mistaken as grunts sometime after Sam had rescued Frodo from that tower within Mordor.
