You’ve got to hand it to those hobbits, they sure know how to eat. As any self respecting fan can tell you, it takes a lot of fuel to drive the hobbit engine. That’s why they eat seven times a day. Exective chef John Bullington has created a seven meal feast, one for each of the different hobbit mealtimes (1st breakfast, 2nd breakfast, elevensies, etc.), spread out over the twelve hours it takes to watch the entire middle earth trilogy. Interpreted from actual meals referenced in the books, the Hobbit Feast is the ultimate Lord of the Rings sensory experience.

Unfortunately, this one took place already, but if my informant is correct they are holding more than one. I know that Child and Perky both currently reside in Texas, either one want to adopt me during the next showing? ;)
