Onions

Edible vegetables whose bulbs have a pungent and sharp flavour. Onions were evidently well-known at least to the Hobbits, though we hear about them only indirectly. When Samwise Gamgee set about stewing rabbits in the woodlands of Ithilien, he bemoaned the fact that he had no onions or potatoes for his stew. So, clearly the Hobbits of the Shire not only grew onions (and potatoes) but commonly used them in their cooking.
