Sting Uncooked dwarves

The 'gem' I uncovered when I read The Hobbit the first few times, and which still makes me laugh, is the sentence in Chapter 2, after Tom the troll saw Balin the dwarf, and gave 'an awful howl'. The reason for this howl was given in that sentence: 'Trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked)'.
