Thread Name: BS: Hobbit Question - Food in LOTR
Subject: RE: BS: Hobbit Question - Food in LOTR
That's perhaps the main flaw in the films, the food is given much less important a place than in the books - and I'm sure any hobbit would agree with that.

But agreed about it being straightforward food - fry-ups and stews and boiled mushrooms and so forth. Fancy cakes for occasions perhaps, but hardly fancy recipes. And beer, of course.

But give Oi Boiled Parsnips,
and a Gurt Dish of Taters
and a lump of Fatty Ba-acon
and a Pint of Good Ale.


That's the style, I suggest.
