Beorn is vegetarian, but not vegan as he's fond of butter and honey. Hmmn, that sounds a bit Pooh-ish...
Anyway, Gandalf stuffs himself with bread, honey, butter and clotted cream. Then Beorn sends the company off with nuts, dried fruit, flour, and twice baked cakes. Which sounds like biscotti to me! Roasted Mirkwood squirrel = not good. You can cross black squirrel off your shopping list. We never do find out what the Wood elves were having at the feast, but they do feed Thorin bread, meat and water. We also know they had barrels of butter and apples. Also mention of kine and oxen in their barrel rolling song. Kine are I believe, the females. After escaping the Woodland realm, Bilbo's next meal is yet another pie, stolen this time. I'm guessing that's a meat pie rather than a sweet fruit pastry.
