J.R.R. Tolkien introduced the world to Middle-earth with his book The Hobbit, and he introduced Hobbits by their demeanor and lifestyle. That included things like gardening, beer brewing, evenings at the tavern with their friends, and the debatable virtues of pipe-weed. But more than anything else, it was food that defined their soft, comfortable lives. The Hobbit opens with a lengthy eating party, as Bilbo Baggins finds his larder wiped out by 13 hungry Dwarves. Ever since then, meals have been a central part of Hobbit identity, and indeed, it’s part of their humility of spirit that makes them so resistant to the One Ring. They’d rather have a muffin than a throne.Peter Jackson and actor Billy Boyd found a memorable way to convey that love in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. As Aragorn leads the Hobbits toward Rivendell, Pippin asks about “second breakfast” and a litany of additional meals that will presumably be skipped as they continue. Tolkien specified six meals in the Prologue to The Fellowship of the Ring — which roughly match European traditions — but two of them are essentially the same meal. Here’s a rundown of each one to give a good idea of what Pippin is missing.Hobbits awaken to breakfast, but the specific times in the novel vary. Sam announces breakfast at 9:30 a.m. while on the road in The Fellowship of the Ring, but the heroes also take breakfast at other times of the morning, depending on the circumstances. Regardless, it’s the first meal they take after they’ve awakened and likely consists of a light continental-style meal. That means tea, muffins, toast with jam and perhaps berries or similar pieces of fruit.
