Found this very fun uQuiz: What Middle-earth Dish Should You Eat?

I got Athelas Tea:
Also known as ‘Sam’s Kingsfoil Brew’. Athelas/Kingsfoil was a healing herb that grew throughout Middle-earth. The herb was used throughout the books and films. Aragorn also used Athelas to ease the pain of Frodo's wound when he was stabbed by a Morgul-knife at the Weathertop camp. The scent of the leaves also calmed the minds of the other Hobbits. Aragorn used Athelas in the Houses of Healing to revive Faramir, Lady Éowyn, and the hobbit Merry. Herb-lore of Middle-Earth is mostly confined to herbs native to the Shire, records of True Athelas are scarce. However, it seems by all accounts that Mint is the closest relative. A cup of nice mint tea is as close as we can get in the real world.

I don't have any mint tea on hand, but I do have chamomile; I think I'll make myself a cup right now.
