What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

When at the dentist, he/she gives you a gum massage wearing rubber gloves...man, that's the best thing in the world.

Really.

Nutella. It's probably the world's most wonderful food.

I'm pretty sure I agree about Nutella. I imagine hobbits must love the stuff. And if they don't, I do and that's all that matters.

When one of your best friends gets you a present on Valentine's Day because you're both single. That totally made my day.

Mmm, Nutella...

You do realize that Nutella comes from Germany, don't you?! I bet you thought they only make great cars over here...

And yes, I too assign spreadable chocolate to the Shire, especially when combined with banana slices for a wonderful open-faced sandwich. Though I don't allow myself to eat it very often...

Nutella...mmm...

The combination of chocolate and hazelnut definitely belongs to the Shire.

And caramel. I'm sure the hobbits are addicted to it.

There's something even better than Nutella (yes, really!) and that's Marmite. Droooooooool.............. Twiglets are made with Marmite and I daren't buy them as I can't stop until I have finished a pack, but there are also Marmite Biscuits now. They are expensive and hard to find but once you get a box you cannot stop until they are all eaten. I can imagine they would be good with cheese on, but we wouldn't be able to pause from scoffing for long enough to find out.

I also assign Kikkoman's Teriyaki marinade, as this is my new addiction. I used up the whole bottle I got last weekend and am now into withdrawal until I get some more.
