Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these drinks is not served at Bilbo's unexpected party for the dwarves at the start of 'The Hobbit'?

Answer: white wine

The red wine was the choice of Gandalf and Thorin. Bilbo also served beer, tea and coffee.
2. Which of these foods was not served by Bilbo at the same party?

Answer: rice pudding

He also provided cake, mince pies, pork pies, salad, cheese, eggs, and pickles. After that, they had supper. And this was an unexpected party - just imagine what Bilbo could have prepared had he actually expected the Dwarves!
3. What was 'miruvor'?

Answer: the cordial made by the elves of Rivendell

No doubt the hobbits did have several mushroom recipes, though they are never specifically mentioned. The Lothlorien wafers were of course 'lembas', and the Dale-made waybread was called 'cram'.
4. What was Gollum's favourite food?

Answer: fish

But he turned his nose up at Sam's suggestion of cooked fish.
5. What does Merry ask for after being woken for the first time in the Houses of Healing?

Answer: supper and a pipe

Merry deserved a good supper - after all, he had just helped to defeat the Lord of the Nazgul.
6. What food does Sam throw at Bill Ferny as the hobbits leave Bree with Strider?

Answer: apple

Sam then said it was a 'waste of a good apple'.
7. Which of these herbs does Sam NOT ask Gollum to look for when he is stewing rabbit in Ithilien?

Answer: basil

Sam would have liked some 'taters' too, which intrigued Gollum.
8. What was the speciality made by Beorn?

Answer: honey

He had several hives of giant bees.
9. What was the name of the food made in Lothlorien, which was kept fresh in a mallorn leaf?

Answer: lembas

Lembas was wonderfully sustaining, and could keep fresh for considerable time in its leaf wrapping. Rather like Twinkies...
10. An easy one to finish with. What food had Frodo stolen from Farmer Maggot in his youth?

Answer: mushrooms

Hobbits were very partial to mushrooms!
