Fictional food and drink in Middle-earth

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This is a list of indiscriminate trivia. (See WP:INDISCRIMINATE.) Most of the foods are biscuits! The drinks have some medicinal properties. The orc-draught is probably alcohol. None of this is notable. It has no literary significance. Jack Upland (talk) 08:24, 27 December 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete The foods and drinks of Middle-earth remain unstudied. &#8213; Susmuffin Talk 12:17, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete I do not think any of these have enough real world coverage to justify an article. We first need people to do the comparative studies between these foods and real world meanings and trends and to produce the scholarly works to justify this. It has not been done, so this is not justified.John Pack Lambert (talk) 12:50, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. While this subject constitutes the bulk of the articles in Hobbitpedia, it is shamefully understudied by the Big People. (Also, there's no such thing as Limpë.) Clarityfiend (talk) 19:58, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
 * LOL, I totally agree. Except most of the foods in Hobbitpedia are not distinct from foods we have articles on here, like cakes, and tea, and wine and such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:21, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only coverage in secondary sources is discussion about whether some of Tolkien's fictional foods represent his views on Communion/the Eucharist/Lord's Supper. This would be appropriate for a section/article about Tolkien and religion, but is out of the scope of the food and drink article.  All we have here is a list of different names for biscuits and alcohol. Hog Farm (talk) 22:11, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
