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!

Sara's Homemade Frozen

One of my favorite treats during training was Frozen. My host mom made it and every afternoon I had one. I'm pretty sure it was just whole milk, sugar and essence (vanilla) mixed together and poured into Popsicle (or icicles as they are called here) bags and placed in the freezer to get frozen.

With some very ripe bananas, shredded coconut, a little coconut milk, and vanilla I made my own Frozen!

2 ripe bananas
1/2 of a coconut (grated)
1/2 cup coconut milk (or use the liquid from the grated coconut)
2 pinches of cinnamon (optional)
1 tsp vanilla
*I decided not to add sugar to mine but you most certainly could

Use a blended to blend everything together. You want it smooth and creamy.
I didn't use Popsicle bags instead I used small plastic containers and placed in my freezer.
I prefer to eat it before it gets completely frozen.


I couldn't resist it's just so light, delicious and healthy!

    This isn't actually called "frozen" outside of your host mother's home. Do a Google search for Guyanese custard blocks.
