Lembas was made by Keebler-elves, an obscure branch of the Teleri.

"Godzilla is totally accepting of all people and faiths. For it is written that liberal or conservative, Christian or Muslim or Jew, straight or gay, all people sound pretty much the identical as they are crushed beneath his mighty feet." - Tony Isabella, The First Church of Godzilla (Reform)

But only hint at the cipher “Lem” (lem/on), “bas” (bas/ed). We only know it had a lemony taste without the pucker!

I first checked wikipedia and this is what it said: It is said by the Eldar that the art of preparing the Lembas came from the Vala Yavanna as far back to the Elves Great journey to Aman, when she brought to them a special corn grown on her fields there. These traditions were passed on throughout the long ages from house to house of the High Elves. Melian, the queen of Doriath, was the Maia who originally held this recipe. Later, it was passed to Galadriel and other Elves. Galadriel gave a large store of it to the Fellowship of the Ring upon its departure from Lothlórien. One of the elves commented "[..] we call it lembas or waybread, and it is more strengthening than any food by men, and it is more pleasant than cram, by all accounts." Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee subsisted on it through the majority of their journey From the Anduin river to Mordor. Personally I think it probably contained some Miruvor, or maybe they share the same ingredients. maybe Miruvor is a sort of beer made from "special corn"? :p

I think it's bread made from whey, which is the by-product of milk from making cheese.

It's called a waybread, as in travel-bread. But, that doesn't mean that it couldn't be made with whey!
