Well, I used the glossaries in the two Books of Lost Tales, so I guess we're quits.

CAKE: Sounds like a pain, to bake.
COFFEE: Prohibition is lifted from the banana dessert, but the beverage has a calorific and early start.
MINCE-PIES: Slang peepers or Yule pastries?
MAJ (RASPBERRY): Very disrespectful slang for Elessar? Or a raspberry preserve running backwards?
PORTER: Drink favoured by Macbeth’s sozzled gatekeeper, who jumps in early?
NEKCIHC: One so-hearted might indeed run backwards!
SALAD: Sounds like Ereinion, on a plate!

THEME: Specific foods and drinks served at Bilbo's 'Unexpected Party.'
PASSWORD: COMMONS

To answer your question ... well, as my name suggests, I am quite hobbitlike, (a very Tookish hobbit, mind). But having come up with the 'Mim's Taters' idea from a recent perusal of 'Unfinished Tales,' (where I also found the name Nuneth to help with my mothers-and-daughters one), I decided to also try to make one exclusively concerning the Unexpected Party. So I was sort of writing them concurrently, sharing the clues between the two.

Well done, and over to you!
