Magotty bread, meat, blood, some more meat... Think of all those orcs in the depths of Moria and Goblin Town. How would they get anything besides meat? There were really very few orc-strongholds developed enough to sustainably supply bread or vegetables to their soldiers. And what were those strongholds then? The only one I can think of is Mordor. They had farms in Nurn. It says in the books, that although there were many wheat farms in Nurn, the majority of the food came from the east, from Rhun and Harad. I don't have time to cite it, but trust me, I remember that quote specifically.
