Mushrooms & Bacon!
Please recall that it is a "mighty dish of mushrooms and bacon" that turns hobbits on!
I can personally testify that this is a Good Thing. Directly inspired by the account, I have melted butter in a skillet, fried bacon just a little, tossed in some chopped onion, fresh crushed garlic, a little red wine, and giant portabello mushrooms over the top. All of this gets stirred around frequently and the mushrooms turned a couple of times, with a lid to keep the moisture in most of the time. It doesn't take long! Soon you have tender mushrooms flavored with bacon, wine, butter, onion, and garlic. Ooooooooooh! (And with that, the little hobbit scuttled off to the pantry for an after-dinner corner-filler! Now, if he could only get some Miruvor...) |

Re: Mushrooms & Bacon!
Hey I was thinking...(I do this occasionally) and I came up with another very influential food, in the Silmarillion when Ungoliant sucks the light from the Two Trees and drinks dry the wells of Varda. Eventually she devours herself, doesn't she? ugh.

Tom Bombadil's water that refreshes you instantly sounds very nice. So does the Lembas bread. Mutton sounds nastey though. I don't like mushrooms so I wouldn't like those either.

I can't say that lembas sounds appealing to me....ugh. Mushrooms either. I'd like to get my hands on some of Bilbo's cakes, though!

Being of the genus Hobbitus Hungarius, I am in fact particular to ALL foods in general.
After asking a few of my friends (who are too shy to join this humble forum), I have decided that some of the foods do not seem to have been thought up out of thin air. Not even Lembas, which seems to be a sort of doughy-cake, has been 100% invented. This really annoys me. After spending six years eating Lembas iI find it actually tastes like dough. I do like my cakes

lembas has always made me think of hard-tack, the hard as bricks crackers they ate in teh Civil War. I have always wanted to try them, even if they sound horrible, which they do.

"The food was mostly in the form of very thin cakes, made of a meal that was baked a light brown on the outside, and inside was the colour of cream. Gimli took up one of the cakes and looked at it with a doubtful eye. 'Cram,' he said under his breath, as he broke off a crisp corner and nibbled at it. His expression quickly changed, and he ate all the rest of the cake with relish. 'No more, no more!' cried the Elves laughing. 'You have eaten enough already for a long day's march.' "I thought it was only a kind of cram, such as the Dale-men make for journeys in the wild," said the Dwarf. 'So it is,' they answered. 'But we call it lembas or waybread, and it is more strengthening than any food made by Men, and it is more pleasant than cram, by all accounts.' "

actually, I was thinking of lembas, I dont know, it just seems like it would be like hard tack. Just let me be wierd !
by the way, it also reminds me of the pound cakes in MRE's, the food we get now (which is a far cry to the good side of hard tack most likely, but still not quite right)

"Meat's back on the menu, boys!" Orc sashimi...tasty |

I think cram is a little closer to hard tack then lembas, though I always imagined it more like twice-baked bread. I always pictured lembas to look like (but not taste like) these fried, flat, rectangular, golden hash-browns they used to serve at my high school's concession stand.

I always imagined lembas to taste like Zagnut candy bars. Don't laugh. JRRT is on record as saying that he thought that ambrosia tasted like very sweet Coca-Cola.
