Tolkien's books are full of food. I get hungry just reading them! This particular quiz tests whether or not specific foods are mentioned in either The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings -- the BOOKS. Not whether they appear in the movies, but whether Tolkien mentioned them in those two books, meaning they do exist canonically in Middle-earth.
You just have to say "yes" if they are mentioned, and "no" if they aren't!
1. Apples
2. Bacon
3. Blackberries
4. Butter
5. Cheese
6. Chocolate
7. Coffee
8. Eggs
9. Garlic
10. Honey
11. Mushrooms
12. Pickles
13. Potatoes
14. Salad
15. Tomatoes
I'll put comments on full moderation so no one can copy your answers. I'll post everyone's scores, and the correct answers, on Saturday!

I'm sure the movie is going to throw me off plus I'll pretty much be guessing at random, but I'll try anyway. This is such a fun idea though. I'll have to keep an eye out for food for when I next reread it.
