Grass and rain-water

When Tom wakes the hobbits on the first morning in his house he says "If you come soon you'll find breakfast on the table. If you come late you'll get grass and rain-water!"

Obviously this is a jest. But I love how the chosen alternative for coming late is the what was likely fed to the ponies. I suspect this is because Tom just fed the ponies, even though he doesn't mention that in his morning activities.
