Yes, I agree. They fit better, as a matter of fact. Very sweet.

That's the one thing about the digestive biscuit that doesn't fit...they are not really very sweet. Sweet, but not really sweet, like I imagine a honey-cake would be.

But then I think that during the time Tolkien was writing, there might have been restrictions on sugar or something...or peoples idea of sweet was different. For example, I know in Mexico, their cookies are a lot less sweet than I am used to.

So perhaps they seemed very sweet, at least to Tolkien, at the time.

The honeycakes of the Beornings has always reminded me of Baklava!

Yes, I agree. They fit better, as a matter of fact. Very sweet.

So we might as well bring 'Nilla Wafers, animal crackers, and Digestive Biscuits to the Entmoot instead of coming up with our own recipes?

Does it actually say in the book that it's sweet? Or are we just imagining it to say that?

I think it would only be very mildly sweet. And now that I've thought about it, I'm sticking with Springerle! Maybe I can bring some to Entmoot.
