(Meena Apsa ho Ambarenya: Tyava ai Randa Lo Nelde)

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and a nasty oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy-hole with nothing to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort. -- J.R.R. Tolkien (from The Hobbit)

And that means food. Hobbits love to eat, six times a day if they can get it, and they love to have 'transportable' food, so as never to go hungry. There are desserts and beverages aplenty in this book (the Ents ate no solid food), but also hearty stews, soups, omelettes, salads, and meals fit for kings....(snip)

There are one hundred and eleven recipes in the book (including one for Bilbo's eleventy-first birthday cake)....(snip)
