i think i would really enjoy being a hobbit becuase i have an inordinate fondness for food. hot soup and clam chowders and marmalade with bits of zest slumped over each other... ah they're so good.
6 meals a day sounds pretty damn good to me
The extension of "marmalade" in the English language to refer to citrus fruits was made in the 17th century, when citrus first began to be plentiful enough in England for the usage to become common. In some languages of continental Europe a word sharing a root with "marmalade" refers to all gelled fruit conserves, and those derived from citrus fruits merit no special word of their own. This linguistic difference has occasionally been claimed as emblematic of the irreconcilability of anglophone and continental world views.
