“Some called for ale, and some for porter, and one for coffee, and all of them for cakes; so the hobbit was kept very busy for a while.”
Here are all the food items described in the book The Hobbit during the unexpected party at which Bilbo Baggins met Thorin and Co.
Tea
Cakes
Beer
Seedcake
Ale
Porter
Coffee
Buttered scones
Red wine
Raspberry Jam
Apple Tart
Mince Pie
Cheese
Pork Pies
Salad
Cold Chicken
Pickles
Biscuits (eaten by Mr. Baggins on a stool by the fireside, his appetite quite taken away by the goings on)
Note that this was just the list for the “high tea” part of the gathering, which was not to be the only meal that night:
“I suppose you will all stay to supper,” he said in his politest, unpressing tones.
“Of course,” said Thorin. “And after. We shan’t get through the business till late.”
Compare this menu to the one in the movie, An Unexpected Journey.
