Not to mention that Hobbit food is SO British-Isles (sp?)in style. I don't think ME is necessarily related to an exact continent, I think Tolkien just dreamed it up based on alot of things he loved (and hated perhaps?) about our world (and more particularly HIS world) and I get SO nostalgic for Ireland when I read his books. (I basically grew up there, though I'm from the States originally). UP the Dubs!
