The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

But it has more of a grainy texture than a creamy one.
To: HairOfTheDog
Thin cornbread is crisp at the corners. Too grainy and crumbly.

To: RosieCotton
It doesn't have to mean what we usually mean here in the states when we hear the word. Even in Letters Tolkein refers to it as a "baked wheaten cake".
To: Overtaxed
Yeah, but I don't think the British have the same idea of cake as we do.
To: ItsOurTimeNow
"A path! A path!!"...with a trail of lembas crumbs strewn along it?
To: RosieCotton
I don't think the British have the same idea of cake as we do. You must be thinking of "biscuit".

(Mmmmm.....biscuits)
To: Overtaxed
Or maybe stale graham crackers...they get sort of chewy when they've been left out for a day or so...
To: RosieCotton
Yeah, but I don't think the British have the same idea of cake as we do.Or toothpaste...
To: Overtaxed
Well, I know they call cookies "biscuits", but don't they make a lot of little "cakes" that are bigger than a biscuit but not what we would call a cake?

I
really tried to stop it, but I failed. :(
It's getting critical. Maybe I should whip out the Bilbo Baggins Song?
To: Overtaxed
Scones aren't crispy, though. Sigh! It'll never be figured out, will it?

Well....leave it to Trekkies. Wonder what a LOTR wedding cake would have. An Ent and an Entwife?
To: Overtaxed
ok...thicker, creamier graham crackers.
Perhaps we can hit up some University for grant money to study this issue in further detail?
To: Corin Stormhands
That's a bit scary if you ask me...
To: RosieCotton
Elrond could use a crate of these:
