speaking as an elf who has dined with dwarves... [In reply to] Can't Post

as in, I'm a mom of three sons...that whole dinner at Rivendell scene looks awfully like a lot of dinners at my house! And some of Ori's lines about hating green things and asking for chips are pretty much direct quotes!

More seriously, I though the different food choices of the elves and dwarves worked as a good visual clue to show, rather than tell us, that the characters come from different cultures with different preferences and values.
