As a sort of thank you for all of your help in URL=“[How Should I Furnish My Hobbit-Hole? - Cafe Society - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=526960)”]furnishing my hobbit-hole, I’m throwing a potluck dinner party. You’re all invited, as long as you list the recipe for the hobbit themed food you’re bringing. I have plenty of dark ale, long bottom leaf, breads and cheeses and some sauteed mushrooms. Everything else is up to you guys! ---

Great! This gives me a chance to try out my ‘dragon-roasted dwarf’ recipe! Twelve times I’ve tried cooking it so far, with varying results. This time though, I think I’ve got it down just right. ---
