Why hobbit food you ask?

Have you ever wondered what hobbits eat? This question never occurred to us until one Sunday night where we used left over boiled, mashed up tubers to cover a hard boiled egg. We took this concept from a Guyanese dish known as Egg Ball. Which really is a hard boiled egg covered in a single root called cassava. After we fried up these tuber balls and were sitting down to devour them Tony said, "Sara, you cook like a hobbit and it's awesome" which then turned these tuber balls into hobbit balls. This also got us thinking, "what else have we cooked that's been inspired through the use of local ingredients and cuisine?" From this our blog was born. But if you're actually looking for foods that hobbits eat you won't find them here. But we do hope you enjoy our creations!

Fried Plantains

What to do with plantains?? What’s better than frying them? NOTHING, except eating them with BBQ sauce!

Cut plantains in half and then long ways into 4ths. Heat vegetable oil and place plantains in, turning them until they are little brown and crispy. Season with a little black pepper and salt, or an all-purpose seasoning. Enjoy with sour* or BBQ sauce.

To turn into a dessert drizzle fried plantains with sweeten condensed milk and cinnamon**

** Idea from a Mexican dessert


This is the savory version! Hmmmm with some special Jamaican Pepper.
