Later that night Shad's wife: "They pillaged the pantry. I'm not even going to tell you what they've done to the bathroom, they all but destroyed the plumbing. I don't understand; what are they doing in my house?"
I think, genuinely, that despite a hobbits prodigious appetite they actually have very good portion control. Like in the books, Bilbo was absolutely peeved that the dwarves emptied his pantry and finished an entire seed cake.
yeah they probably just eat much smaller meals. but just eat a lot of them. in fact a lot of body builders will eat like 5 smaller meals everyday instead of the typical 3. so the idea isn't exactly unprecedented.
Well they are also half as big as the average adult human.... I feel like their size also doubles their metabolism. Especially considering most Hobbits were really hard workers too, from farmers, to gardeners, brewers, potters, ranchers, etc. If you've worked EXTREMELY hard, you'll know just how fast you get hungry too, but those are mostly like a snack type of hungry, not a full on meal.
Yeah. If a small body is working half the day, it needs an almost constant recharge of energy. And it'd mostly small portions, enough to go back to work. Only the three main meals would be big. And not even that big, since they would've eaten something not that long ago. In the end, they eat the proportional food of a human worker, but spaced along the whole day. [Party feasts like Bilbo's retirement are another can of worms, they're special occasions] Edit: plus, once the body gets accustomed to the hours of eating, it will regulate metabolism to adapt to it. You can't eat like a hobbit once and call it imposible, you need to do it for an extended period of time.
Except pippin ate 4 lembas breads. One bite of which fills a man's stomach. Assumptions being that "fills a stomach" just means an average meal and not literally to the brim, the bread has around 4 bites (Its been a while, and I remember the bread looking bigger, but 4 bites makes the calculation huge already), and hobbits have half size stomachs compared to men. All that means pippin ate 16 meals that would satisfy a full sized man and still seemed fairly hungry. And that's assuming they're only 4 bites large.
@@DarthZ01 lembas breads closest irl equivalents are either bannock (which, btw, isn't exclusive to the native Americans but also to the Gaelic area as well), or hard tack. Lembas isn't magical, either, as far as I know. Which just means it's a honey, fruit and nut bread that's highly dense in carbs. And hard tack, along side a beverage (normally water or an alcohol) and some cheese or jerky were the daily rations for many a man in the past. So if you take lembas bread as a non magical food, that's just nutrient rich and dense with carbs, then in theory legolas (my phone wants to say Legoland lol) saying you can fill a man's stomach with just a bite isn't erroneous. I've had bannock, and it's very much something you can nibble on during a hike and stave off hunger for hours. I've had modern hard tack, and it's lesser then bannock in that regard. But the thing is, I've also sat with my family and eaten ALOT of bannock during a campsite cuz I'm bored. So, I think what legolas actually meant in his needlessly flowery way of talking alot of the elves in the books had, was that in a pinch, you could eat just lembas bread for days, and stay comfortably full on small rations. And pippin isn't your average hobbit. He's immature and impulsive for much of his adventure and only matures once he realizes the state of the world. Also, he didn't know that lembas bread was intended to be eaten in small amounts. Further to my point, though, is that after Frodo and Sam get seperated from the fellowship, they eat appropriately for the rest of their journey and their lembas stores last until the get to Mount doom.
- The drink for this meal is unfermented wine. Non-alcoholic. You also can call it grape juice, almost. - Yeah, it's almost exactly what you could call it...

I went to uni with a bloke who could literally eat enough that his abdomen was physically distended, far in excess of what everyone else had, nap for an hour or so and come back skinny as he was before he started. He was 5'2" or so and looked like a 12 year old. I swear to this day that he was actually a hobbit pretending to be a small human.
Pretty much although hobbit meals aren't alway huge meals they did some as small ones as they did here if your a particular person like myself that loves food you mag be oksy somehow I'm still slim XD
Yes, this is more how I eat. Light breakfast (a protein pancake usually), handful of nuts for 2nd, handful of grapes and cheese for elevenzies. Lunch is my big meal, followed by light snacks (fruit, cheese, hummus and veggies, granola bar, etc) until bed.
I usually eat a light breakfast a couple of breakfast cakes or something like that, with two cups of coffee. Have a mid morning sandwich. Then have a full meal lunch. Then have another sandwich in the mid afternoon. Then have a pre-dinner of biscuits, grapes, coffee and such little things like that. Then have a full dinner. Then have some sweet heavy puddings. Then have an apple half an hour before bed.
@@ranger3576 In WFRP it was a constant snacking. Hobbits would rather putter around and make pastries than survive on large amounts of bland staples. They have one religious festival in the Moot where they eat like that, Pie Week. Everything closes down and the hobbits spend their days making fruit preserves and pies which they immediately eat.

That depends on what Orc Lore you use. Pathfinder Orc Lore is different from Tolkien's, which is different from D&D Orc Lore. From my findings, most Orc Lore describes them as carnivores, while they can eat non-meat, they don't get any nutrition from it.
Next challenge idea, gather 5 other men, preferably two that are taller than average, and one that's just a bit taller than you guys, then spend 6 months traveling to an active volcano, just an idea of course.
One thing to remember about hobbits is that their society is very agrarian. Anywhere they go, they walk. The hour or so in between meals is spent doing chores, pulling weeds, shoveling hay, taking long walks (with half sized hobbit legs) and occasionally getting involed with the affairs of wizards.
You also have to account for the author's perspective with the meals, we are talking about a British author who grew up with these meals. So a little research shows 3 of the 7 meals listed are supposed to be tea with a light snack, not full-on meals in their own right. Supper and DInner are weird because 1 of those would be a large meal, but the other would probably be like an appetizer meal. None of this accounts for any of the meals having dessert either, so we could actually be talking about an 8th meal on occasion.
@@TheNewRidore Yeah, that makes sense. So that's why it seems like a Hobbit about 3/4 the size of a normal human can eat nearly 3 times as much as a human.
@@TheNewRidore Very true, and the English country labourer from Tolkien's day would have eaten breakfast before sunrise, a very long day, so supper is almost a light snack a short time before bed and breakfast is super early before you start working in the fields.
You mentioned that you were feeling really good between meals. People's blood sugar tends to drop at about the 2hr mark depending on what you eat and biochemistry. When you eat, it spikes your insulin since your body has to take care of the excess sugars. When your insulin level spikes your serotonin levels also spike and thus you feel happy. It's why some people end up addicted to food, particularly if you suffer from depression. It literally makes you feel good.
Bro I hope that's all it is, cause the option I was afraid of was that Shad had gone into ketoacidosis and was feeling drunk from the ketones, and was literally about to fall into a coma.

“You’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you all here today” “Because we’re all Hobbits...?” “Precisely, 06/22/2021, 7:00 AM, meet at my house, we eat, whoever eats all their meals first gets to live as the only Hobbit, everyone else DIES, you have til tomorrow to prepare, good luck”
"He went off to live with the elves, and you know what that means..." I choose to interpret that as a euphemism akin to telling a child their dog went off to live on a farm.

@@bryanmerel Yes they do. Bilbos family is often mentioned as being one of the most wealthy in the Shire.

Serious talk: In general, small mammals have higher caloric needs relative to body size, because their increased surface area relative to volume means they lose heat more quickly and need to burn more energy to maintain body temperature. (there are some species of tiny shrews that can literally starve to death in a matter of hours.) This may go some way towards explaining hobbits increased appetites--they literally biologically have to eat more food.
Small mammals might have higher caloric needs relative to body size but still won't need to eat as many calories a day as humans. Even a large breed dog only needs roughly half the calories of an average man's to maintain weight. And all dogs have a faster metabolism than humans. It's simply not that straightforward. And hobbits don't just eat a lot "for their size", they eat as much (or even more in Merry and Pippin's case) than creatures double their size - which of course is complete nonsense.
The concept of Hobbit civilisation seems to revolve less around food preparation; the planting, farming, harvesting, preserving, preparing, and ultimately cooking of not just the next meal, but all future meals. All hobbits would live in what is essentially a "kitchen village", its economy based on the buying and selling of each other's produce. As a result, the hobbit physique is moderately athletic but "well padded". Also, my theory on hobbit feet is that they are not proportionally bigger, they just appear that way because their entire race/species have never worn footwear of any kind. Unlike the human foot with its squished-together toes, the hobbit foot's toes are widely spaced, the skin slightly thicker on the upper, and the soles both thick and wide like the pads on dogs and cats (and the soles of overprices running shoes). Thanks to their natural habitat, they have never walked on anything harder than grassy meadows, dirt roads, and wooden floorboards; however, the stone floors and streets of human civilisation might wear on their soles after a while (like that captive tiger or bear in some rich idiot's "private zoo" with concrete floors).

As someone who's hypoglycemic, I eat like this daily, so if I may, I'd like to inform you guys of how best to have done this. Starting off, your 1st, Luncheon, and supper are your three big main meals. Next is 2nd breakfast, elevensies, and supper, these are your smaller meals, slightly bigger than a snack, but smaller than your full meal. Then finally you have your afternoon tea, this one you did fairly spot on, keep it simple with things like fruits and cheeses, or you can make this your sweets meal since cupcakes and the like pair with tea so well. Other than that I'd say you guys did great in surviving a hypo's meal day. Sidenote: This has also brought an interesting concept to mind for me. Since our human bodies see the overuse of one's pancreas, and therefore an increase of natural insulin production, as a detriment, but someone like me who IS hypoglycemic can do this and be fine, what if the pancreas of hobbits/halflings naturally developed to produce a larger amount of natural insulin, hence why they're able to eat twice as much as a regular human and feel just fine?

Oz: I can't do this, Shad. Shad: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be eating. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Ozzy. The ones that really mattered. Full of calories and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the stomach go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this sickness. Even seven meals must pass. A new course will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Ozzy, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept eating. Because they were holding on to something. Oz: What are we holding on to, Shad? Shad: That there's some food in this world, Mr. Oz...and it's worth fighting for.
The 'drunkenness' and 'high' absolutely IS a mix of endorphins from cramming in so much food, and oxytocin from the good times with friends..

That would be weird. I thought dwarves saw swords as weapons for weaklings. The only weapon that can come close to a battle axe as big as them is a hammer of a similar size, if you are more into whacking than splitting. There are enough human tribes in the Middle Earth (includding the three hobbit tribes) to get one with dwarfish temperament. Or maybe half-dwarfs, if such a thing can exist (not sure if Aüle's children can have progeny with Ilúvatar's children).
*could it be that actual Hobbits have such an insanely rapid metabolism that it actually does require seven meals a day to keep them from becoming famished and falling over and becoming inadvertent trip hazards to others?*
The Hobbits seem to represent a Medieval sort of existance. I'd imagine that they spent all day working like Medieval villagers, so they'd work it off, instead of letting it all accumulate like that poor unfortunate at Shad's right. Wouldn't the food they eat be very simple, which should go down better--and stay there?
That's actually a really good point. Smaller creatures do have faster metabolism. Take a bird vs an elephant. The bird seem to eat less but that's because of the difference in size. If you compare the food/size ratio you would see that the bird has a higher food/size ratio. As hobbits are half the size of a regular human with 5 meals a day, it's very possible that real hobbits would have higher food/size ratio. But we have to consider that half the size is not that big of a difference in size, so the higher food quantity would be very noticeable. But even from 5 to 7 meals is not that big of a difference l.

Oh, I know this kind of pain. I was once a missionary in Utah, and at Thanksgiving, EVERYONE wanted to feed us. For the Thanksgiving of both of those years, I remember eating at least six meals, and I think it was seven meals during that second year.

I guess I've always pictured breakfast, luncheon, and dinner as full meals, while 2nd breakfast, elevensies, and supper would be smaller meals or light snacks while afternoon tea would simply be tea or coffee with biscuits or cucumber sandwiches for an afternoon refresher. One also must consider that Hobbits are an agricultural people who are probably working dawn till dusk at intense physical labor, hence requiring more calories. Also, they mentioned that Hobbits probably have supercharged metabolisms.
I do believe Tolkien wrote that Hobbits eat six meals a day "when they can get them," but goes no further in describing their eating habits. Presumably the meals are smaller in proportion than a full-sized human meal, but also smaller overall, so as to provide the necessary energy throughout the day as opposed to devouring three larger meals.
I always see this meal schedule as maybe how a farmer or rancher would eat. Usually you get up early 5 or 6 ib morning. First breakfast would be something quick to eat to hold you over until chores were done. Maybe a biscuit and quick cup of coffee. Then off to feed the animals. Then your second breakfast which is a full meal. Then off to work again with snacks in between meals for extra energy. Having this much food and thus kind of meal schedule doesn't really work out unless you're a hard worker and busy all day.
My dudes. I'm pretty freakin' sure that when the hobbits talk about seven meals a day, a few of those are just a light snack, something to munch on. Like the way Spanish people eat tapas after work. Not seven full blown sit down meals. And hobbits are farmers, so in between eating they're doing heavy labor to work it off.
Yeah most of those 'meals' - if not, indeed, _all_ of them save one - would be very small affairs indeed. Small slices of this-that-or-other, bits of something on toast. Not full-sized meals...
I get an impression that if they did some activity in between meals, they wouldn't even have to cut the portions to make it through without much struggle
the hobbit book sure painted a different picture... hobbits are not only constantly doing but they're also prolly just metabolizing like nuts. that's my guess anyhow

Next challenge eat like the Dwarfs in the Hobbit movie, fill a pantry of food gather 15 people and eat it, oh and one of you MUST eat an entire block of cheesewheel. I vote for it to be Shad.
In a way, the ability of an “inhuman” hobbit to eat so much more makes a bit of sense. Smaller creatures tend to eat more than larger creatures in terms of body weight, such as how insects typically eat their own body weight in food.
Please bear in mind, Jackson added the 7th meal. TOLKIEN only had 6. Hobbits "needed" these meals because, in theory at least, they were working hard and needed the extra calories. Just because 6 meals are available does NOT mean we eat all 6 everyday. Consider farmer Maggot and family, who had the one large meal and then went to bed. Not all Hobbits do this. I usually only do 3 meals, with afternoon tea.
In addition, Tolkien mentioned that Hobbits loved good plain food. The best approximation of the types of food that Hobbits would eat would be that of an Edwardian farmer. As a gentlehobbit, Bilbo would have his meat delivered to him by his butcher instead of slaughtering it himself, but other than that there is no indication of a hobbit haute cuisine for the upper classes. Tolkien was wavered about including New World foods: he edited out a mention of tomatoes in his abridged _The Hobbit,_ but referenced potatoes in _The Two Towers._ A big part of afternoon tea was cakes. It would have been nice it one of the meals had included mushrooms, since hobbits love them so much.

You could eat seven meals, but they'd have to be smaller ones. It's slightly more structured than grazing. If you treat the luncheon and supper like the biggest meals of the day, the rest are basically just snack breaks. Farmers used to eat quite a bit back in the day because they were working so hard and needed the extra calories, so I always figured the hobbits were mostly farmers and the ones that did something else still ate more or less like everyone else because they were used to it. That sirloin looked really tasty!
I actually used the Hobbit method to help me loose weight; you can make the portions quite small because there’s never enough time to get very hungry. For example the first meal would be a savory breakfast (say a single egg) second breakfast a selection of fruit, number 3 something I could bake and have all week like a scone, number 4 tea and a biscuit (simple crisp cookie) 5 a small sandwich, 6 soup, and 7 a thick beverage say chocolate milk. It frees you up if you think of it as 7 snacks vs 7 meals
I would love to see how viable it is to train inexperienced people to fight "bandits". For example, the hero comes to a repressed town of mostly elderly, women, and children. The hero teaches them to fight in a week or less and they defend the town and free themselves. (you could commission the local Hema group to play the bandits) and LARP of course for safety reasons.
Hey Shad! I am currently reading Rhythm of War and I noticed that you were in the acknowledgements for reference for historical combat, in the book. I've been a fan of yours for a while and it is so cool to read and think "Oh man!

The example that comes to mind is when you did the video on the murderstroke in that anime and spoke about stopping an overhand blow mid-swing before it could build up momentum.
If, the moment they finished eating, they started working out or going on long walks or chop wood or whatever to burn their energy, then I can see them stuffing 7 meals for one day. Otherwise, man. Threat to stomach integrity is very real.
