I'm reminded of the fans of 'Withnail And I' who attempt to consume the staggering quantities of alcohol and less legal substances mentioned in the film at parties (just a tip, don't try the lighter fluid!).
Maybe it would be interesting to compile a Hobbit or LoTR 'menu', and would definitely result in far less liver damage.
While on the subject, I must object strenuously to Coor's being described as ale! Real Ale actually tastes of something, not just bubbles and cold water. Naturally your local one is always the best!
