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?
N: 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

The only somehow-related word I could get to work as a password for these items was indeed COMMONS (as in short commons or rations). Again, a word I first came across in Tolkien (and nowhere else, I think, except in 'Brideshead Revisited.') I had to use the 2nd letter of a couple of the answers even then (and put two others in backwards).

Porter is apparently a very brown and malty beer, as well as an unnamed gatekeeper who provides the nearest equivalent of anything humorous found in 'Macbeth.'

One to go!
