Doubtless a delicacy can be a delicacy of more than one ethnos:
both my Irish and German ancestors ate potatoes, e.g. (Historically,
they were the only European countries starving enough to accept the

To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are
no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that
