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?
5. Drink favoured by Macbeth’s sozzled gatekeeper, who jumps in early?
6. One so-hearted might indeed run backwards!
SALAD: Sounds like Ereinion, on a plate!
Yes, mince-pies, (slang for eyes).
All these foods and drinks do occur in Tolkien, but you may have forgotten where.
