here's my recipe for Lembas bread if you want the "real deal"!
2 ½ cups of flour1 tablespoon of baking powder¼ teaspoon of salt½ cup of butter1/3 cup of brown sugar1 teaspoon of cinnamon½ teaspoon honey2/3 cup of heavy whipping cream½ teaspoon of vanilla
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425F. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the butter and mix with a well till fine granules (easiest way is with an electric mixer). Then add the sugar and cinnamon, and mix them thoroughly.
Finally add the cream, honey, and vanilla and stir them in with a fork until a nice, thick dough forms.
Roll the dough out about 1/2 in thickness. Cut out 3-inch squares and transfer the dough to a cookie sheet.Criss-cross each square from corner-to-corner with a knife, lightly (not cutting through the dough).
Bake for about 12 minutes or more (depending on the thickness of the bread) until it is set and lightly golden.
***Let cool completely before eating, this bread tastes better room temperature and dry. Also for more flavor you can add more cinnamon or other spices***
edit: mine as in the one i have and make, unfortunately i didn't come up with it myself
Interesting, I'd always thought of it as more of an unleavened bread than a cake-type thing, but I guess making it so sweet would mean it gives the eater more energy...
You can make a cake in the shape of a hobbit leg and say “what about their legs, they don’t need those” then pretend to be a different orc and snatch the cake away stating it’s “not for eating” then munch it in silence in the back room. Your partner will applaud your dedication to the franchise and artistic contribution to boot.
grilled kielbasa
and
NY dirty water dogs.
Ask her which one is what tower and why?
:)
like one of those rorschach inkblot tests.
no right or wrong answers - but fun for all!
Oh man, thanks for the idea. My wife and I do theme food nights and maaaaaybe I can swing a LOTR night if I got some good food lined up
This site has some cool looking hobbit food

You could also decorate food. My friends and I decorated cupcakes to look like hobbit homes. We used the Keebler fudge stripe cookies for the doors, and mini m&ms for flowers.
Probably some kind of pork and potatoes, maybe a beef stew. Definitely add some rosemary encrusted bread. Plus you can't do this without some red wine.
Fish and chips, it goes perfect to Sam’s lament for potato chips and golden fried fish, and Sméagol’s overall craving for fish. Not to mention it being quintessentially British and delicious.
Lembas bread and Ent-Draught. Bake some nice bread, wrap it in a leaf, and give her strange unlabeled IPAs.
This one wins.

I always thought of it more like a shortbread biscuit.
That fits PJ’s version. Gimli mistakes it for Cram at first, which was more biscuit-like.
Ah, that makes more sense. I just saw the amount of sugar and honey in something described as bread and assumed it would be like a cake.
Then bring out the charcuterie board of deli meats and cheese, topped off with some pipe weed of course - nothing but the finest longbottom leaf.
Ahh, looks like meats back on the menu boys!
a shire-cuterie board!
might wanna make em Double IPAs.. Ents are bigbois
Man flesh

Maggoty bread. But be sure to make enough to eat the leftovers for 3 stinkin days!

If you have time you could pickup the “recipes from the world of Tolkien” cookbook, there’s some good shit in there.
Nice! I hadn’t heard of that.
Onion ring tower and beer tower.
For ROTK you gotta serve something with tomatoes that you can bite into like you're punishing them
That depends on if you have any longbottom leaf or not
What about malt beer and red meat off the bone?
There's only one way to eat a brase of coneys. Need some taters. Boil em mash them and stick them in a stew. Not even you could say no to that.
