Lord Of The Rings Seed Cake Recipe

The typical hobbit life in Lord of the Rings includes eating, drinking, sleeping and then more eating. Sam insists on carrying his cooking utensils all over Middle Earth and we soon learn that hobbit holes have more than one pantry and hobbits enjoy eating both breakfast and dinner twice a day.

Bilbo’s Seed Cakes

One particularly popular dish from Hobbit cuisine is seed cakes, which Bilbo makes for his party. The cake, form our understanding is similar to a sweet loaf of bread cooked with a variety of seeds in the batter.

If you’re throwing your very own Lord of The Rings party, serve up this dish!
