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!

The Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Okay, it’s not exactly original or even Guyanese, heck, I don’t even know what can be more American than a grilled cheese sandwich, well maybe apple pie, but that’s beside the point. Here’s our Guyanese Grilled Cheese Sandwich, nothing special, but it’s a great reminder of home.

Bread
Mayo
Cheese
Garlic
Butter/Margarine

Take bread (freshly baked if possible, a great Guyanese perk) and put mayo on both sides. Chop the garlic and put it on one side of bread. Slice the cheese put atop the garlic. Close the sandwich. Heat pan/tawa and put a little margarine on it and let it melt spreading it around. Put the sandwich in the pan and be sure to get butter both sides. I like to use a spatula to press the sandwich down and the flip it a few times until cheese s melted, garlic a bit cooked and the bread is nice dark golden color.



This one we made with a great find: Turkey Bacon!
