I've just looked for a Roman name for Pandora, but there isn't one. However, there is another Greek one: ANESIDORA. Not sure how to adapt that to anything in Tolkien, though.

... Just having edited to include 'Wanderers' as a password guess, wondering if the last clue could be SARUMAN as patron of pretty singular Eorling GRIMA.

EGGS AND HAM/BACON for the delicacy? You can buy pickled eggs (if you have seriously weird tastes in food). (And they could be wanderers if they were inside Bilbo, Gandalf and the dwarves at the time). (In fact they would be wandering anyway, through their digestive systems!)
No to the Pandora guess, no to Saruman, no to Eggs & Bacon, buuuuuuut....

W But one or two letters of separation keep this genus from the Dark Lord.
A "Is me?" quoth Pandora.
NOLDOR Too dignified to be cut down to a palatal nasal epithet.
D On a western beach we sup.
ESTEL Stronger as jumbled iron.
RANA Too wayward a king.
E Pickle and a non-kosher delicacy.
R "Not a game" of chance.
S Patron of a most singular Eorling.
