an anonymous correspondent ( of the positive variety!) has pointed out that Thorin and company can be regarded as petty in the mean minded sense (selfishly walling themselves up with their treasure) rather than culturally. Despite having said that I always thought of the culturally Petty Dwarves as bickering and small minded that had not occured to me!
I can remember some really funny stuff from Bored of the Rings- the Prophecy of Boromir's death sticks in the mind along with Frito's greeting of a certain dwarf... but nowt about taters... Oh well no doubt we will get another clue when the barrow betrothed return from Brum..
