Later that night Shad's wife: "They pillaged the pantry. I'm not even going to tell you what they've done to the bathroom, they all but destroyed the plumbing. I don't understand; what are they doing in my house?"
- The drink for this meal is unfermented wine. Non-alcoholic. You also can call it grape juice, almost. - Yeah, it's almost exactly what you could call it...
I think, genuinely, that despite a hobbits prodigious appetite they actually have very good portion control. Like in the books, Bilbo was absolutely peeved that the dwarves emptied his pantry and finished an entire seed cake.
yeah they probably just eat much smaller meals. but just eat a lot of them. in fact a lot of body builders will eat like 5 smaller meals everyday instead of the typical 3. so the idea isn't exactly unprecedented.
Well they are also half as big as the average adult human.... I feel like their size also doubles their metabolism. Especially considering most Hobbits were really hard workers too, from farmers, to gardeners, brewers, potters, ranchers, etc. If you've worked EXTREMELY hard, you'll know just how fast you get hungry too, but those are mostly like a snack type of hungry, not a full on meal.
Yeah. If a small body is working half the day, it needs an almost constant recharge of energy. And it'd mostly small portions, enough to go back to work. Only the three main meals would be big. And not even that big, since they would've eaten something not that long ago. In the end, they eat the proportional food of a human worker, but spaced along the whole day. [Party feasts like Bilbo's retirement are another can of worms, they're special occasions] Edit: plus, once the body gets accustomed to the hours of eating, it will regulate metabolism to adapt to it. You can't eat like a hobbit once and call it imposible, you need to do it for an extended period of time.
Except pippin ate 4 lembas breads. One bite of which fills a man's stomach. Assumptions being that "fills a stomach" just means an average meal and not literally to the brim, the bread has around 4 bites (Its been a while, and I remember the bread looking bigger, but 4 bites makes the calculation huge already), and hobbits have half size stomachs compared to men. All that means pippin ate 16 meals that would satisfy a full sized man and still seemed fairly hungry. And that's assuming they're only 4 bites large.
@@DarthZ01 lembas breads closest irl equivalents are either bannock (which, btw, isn't exclusive to the native Americans but also to the Gaelic area as well), or hard tack. Lembas isn't magical, either, as far as I know. Which just means it's a honey, fruit and nut bread that's highly dense in carbs. And hard tack, along side a beverage (normally water or an alcohol) and some cheese or jerky were the daily rations for many a man in the past. So if you take lembas bread as a non magical food, that's just nutrient rich and dense with carbs, then in theory legolas (my phone wants to say Legoland lol) saying you can fill a man's stomach with just a bite isn't erroneous. I've had bannock, and it's very much something you can nibble on during a hike and stave off hunger for hours. I've had modern hard tack, and it's lesser then bannock in that regard. But the thing is, I've also sat with my family and eaten ALOT of bannock during a campsite cuz I'm bored. So, I think what legolas actually meant in his needlessly flowery way of talking alot of the elves in the books had, was that in a pinch, you could eat just lembas bread for days, and stay comfortably full on small rations. And pippin isn't your average hobbit. He's immature and impulsive for much of his adventure and only matures once he realizes the state of the world. Also, he didn't know that lembas bread was intended to be eaten in small amounts. Further to my point, though, is that after Frodo and Sam get seperated from the fellowship, they eat appropriately for the rest of their journey and their lembas stores last until the get to Mount doom.
As my grandmother liked to say "First you eat because you're hungry, then because it tastes good. Finally you eat because its impolite to leave anything on the plate" before giving someone another helping
Yes, this is more how I eat. Light breakfast (a protein pancake usually), handful of nuts for 2nd, handful of grapes and cheese for elevenzies. Lunch is my big meal, followed by light snacks (fruit, cheese, hummus and veggies, granola bar, etc) until bed.
I usually eat a light breakfast a couple of breakfast cakes or something like that, with two cups of coffee. Have a mid morning sandwich. Then have a full meal lunch. Then have another sandwich in the mid afternoon. Then have a pre-dinner of biscuits, grapes, coffee and such little things like that. Then have a full dinner. Then have some sweet heavy puddings. Then have an apple half an hour before bed.
@@ranger3576 In WFRP it was a constant snacking. Hobbits would rather putter around and make pastries than survive on large amounts of bland staples. They have one religious festival in the Moot where they eat like that, Pie Week. Everything closes down and the hobbits spend their days making fruit preserves and pies which they immediately eat.

You mentioned that you were feeling really good between meals. People's blood sugar tends to drop at about the 2hr mark depending on what you eat and biochemistry. When you eat, it spikes your insulin since your body has to take care of the excess sugars. When your insulin level spikes your serotonin levels also spike and thus you feel happy. It's why some people end up addicted to food, particularly if you suffer from depression. It literally makes you feel good.
Bro I hope that's all it is, cause the option I was afraid of was that Shad had gone into ketoacidosis and was feeling drunk from the ketones, and was literally about to fall into a coma. There was a moment in the video when my stomach dropped cause what he was describing sounded like diabetic coma was about to strike, and I would really rather that NOT happen to him.
I went to uni with a bloke who could literally eat enough that his abdomen was physically distended, far in excess of what everyone else had, nap for an hour or so and come back skinny as he was before he started. He was 5'2" or so and looked like a 12 year old. I swear to this day that he was actually a hobbit pretending to be a small human.
Pretty much although hobbit meals aren't alway huge meals they did some as small ones as they did here if your a particular person like myself that loves food you mag be oksy somehow I'm still slim XD
Reasons to subscribe to Shad: 1. He legitimate loves medieval fantasy, he loves it so much he wrote a book! 2. He wants things to be realistic enough that is still believable awhile never ruining the fun of unrealistic cool stuff we love like extremely big swords! 3. He goes the extra mile to make interesting videos, like entering a below zero lake in a barrel to test if it was floatable. 4. He didn't beat the crap out of Jazza for breaking his swords. 5. He didn't beat the crap out of Asher when he beat him in Archery with zero experience. 6. He developed type 2 diabetes with more levels in cholesterol than his levels in fighter for this video.
If you think it through Medieval Times had medieval customs and eating that amount of food meant that they actually work the fields and also trained with the sword an armor which requires a lot of energy
Hello fresh boxes are a fairly convenient size and shape that makes them well suited for stacking, so they are even ok for the guys who load the trailers.
The concept of Hobbit civilisation seems to revolve less around food preparation; the planting, farming, harvesting, preserving, preparing, and ultimately cooking of not just the next meal, but all future meals. All hobbits would live in what is essentially a "kitchen village", its economy based on the buying and selling of each other's produce. As a result, the hobbit physique is moderately athletic but "well padded". Also, my theory on hobbit feet is that they are not proportionally bigger, they just appear that way because their entire race/species have never worn footwear of any kind. Unlike the human foot with its squished-together toes, the hobbit foot's toes are widely spaced, the skin slightly thicker on the upper, and the soles both thick and wide like the pads on dogs and cats (and the soles of overprices running shoes). Thanks to their natural habitat, they have never walked on anything harder than grassy meadows, dirt roads, and wooden floorboards; however, the stone floors and streets of human civilisation might wear on their soles after a while (like that captive tiger or bear in some rich idiot's "private zoo" with concrete floors).
Serious talk: In general, small mammals have higher caloric needs relative to body size, because their increased surface area relative to volume means they lose heat more quickly and need to burn more energy to maintain body temperature. (there are some species of tiny shrews that can literally starve to death in a matter of hours.) This may go some way towards explaining hobbits increased appetites--they literally biologically have to eat more food.
Small mammals might have higher caloric needs relative to body size but still won't need to eat as many calories a day as humans. Even a large breed dog only needs roughly half the calories of an average man's to maintain weight. And all dogs have a faster metabolism than humans. It's simply not that straightforward. And hobbits don't just eat a lot "for their size", they eat as much (or even more in Merry and Pippin's case) than creatures double their size - which of course is complete nonsense.
"He went off to live with the elves, and you know what that means..." I choose to interpret that as a euphemism akin to telling a child their dog went off to live on a farm.
Exactly. I remember on the Movie, it's clear narated that they love everything that grows, pertaining to gardening and planting vegetables and raising Livestocks.
@@bryanmerel Yes they do. Bilbos family is often mentioned as being one of the most wealthy in the Shire.

@@cleanixx5343 But it is never mentioned that they... pay the way see it for example when Humans eat at a Hobbit Inn.

As someone who's hypoglycemic, I eat like this daily, so if I may, I'd like to inform you guys of how best to have done this. Starting off, your 1st, Luncheon, and supper are your three big main meals. Next is 2nd breakfast, elevensies, and supper, these are your smaller meals, slightly bigger than a snack, but smaller than your full meal. Then finally you have your afternoon tea, this one you did fairly spot on, keep it simple with things like fruits and cheeses, or you can make this your sweets meal since cupcakes and the like pair with tea so well. Other than that I'd say you guys did great in surviving a hypo's meal day. Sidenote: This has also brought an interesting concept to mind for me. Since our human bodies see the overuse of one's pancreas, and therefore an increase of natural insulin production, as a detriment, but someone like me who IS hypoglycemic can do this and be fine, what if the pancreas of hobbits/halflings naturally developed to produce a larger amount of natural insulin, hence why they're able to eat twice as much as a regular human and feel just fine?
I want to see a LoTR spinoff series where Shaddeus Underhill is pursuing his identity theft nemesis, Frodo Baggins. Always a step behind, he nearly catches Frodo at the Grey Havens. Frodo looks back and smiles, knowing he got away with a free bar tab. Shad let’s it go, recalling his own adventures along the way. Making it back to the Prancing Pony in Bree, he pays the tab. What he DIDN’T realize is the innkeeper forgot to add the damage to the rooms rented for the night..... FROOOODOOOOO!!
One thing to remember about hobbits is that their society is very agrarian. Anywhere they go, they walk. The hour or so in between meals is spent doing chores, pulling weeds, shoveling hay, taking long walks (with half sized hobbit legs) and occasionally getting involed with the affairs of wizards.
You also have to account for the author's perspective with the meals, we are talking about a British author who grew up with these meals. So a little research shows 3 of the 7 meals listed are supposed to be tea with a light snack, not full-on meals in their own right. Supper and DInner are weird because 1 of those would be a large meal, but the other would probably be like an appetizer meal. None of this accounts for any of the meals having dessert either, so we could actually be talking about an 8th meal on occasion.
@@TheNewRidore Yeah, that makes sense. So that's why it seems like a Hobbit about 3/4 the size of a normal human can eat nearly 3 times as much as a human.
@@TheNewRidore Very true, and the English country labourer from Tolkien's day would have eaten breakfast before sunrise, a very long day, so supper is almost a light snack a short time before bed and breakfast is super early before you start working in the fields.
“You’re probably wondering why I’ve gathered you all here today” “Because we’re all Hobbits...?” “Precisely, 06/22/2021, 7:00 AM, meet at my house, we eat, whoever eats all their meals first gets to live as the only Hobbit, everyone else DIES, you have til tomorrow to prepare, good luck”
The 'drunkenness' and 'high' absolutely IS a mix of endorphins from cramming in so much food, and oxytocin from the good times with friends..

Look. I mean no offense to anyone here, nor do I mean to demean Shad's efforts, or anything like that. But I think that calling them friends might be a bit naive. Shad is their employer.

Oh, I know this kind of pain. I was once a missionary in Utah, and at Thanksgiving, EVERYONE wanted to feed us. For the Thanksgiving of both of those years, I remember eating at least six meals, and I think it was seven meals during that second year. I nearly cried from how hard it was to keep eating, trying to be polite to the people. I'm glad I'll never have to do that again. Cheers and honours to all of you, good Game Hobbits.

Oz: I can't do this, Shad. Shad: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be eating. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Ozzy. The ones that really mattered. Full of calories and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the stomach go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this sickness. Even seven meals must pass. A new course will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Ozzy, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept eating. Because they were holding on to something. Oz: What are we holding on to, Shad? Shad: That there's some food in this world, Mr. Oz...and it's worth fighting for.

That would be weird. I thought dwarves saw swords as weapons for weaklings. The only weapon that can come close to a battle axe as big as them is a hammer of a similar size, if you are more into whacking than splitting. There are enough human tribes in the Middle Earth (includding the three hobbit tribes) to get one with dwarfish temperament. Or maybe half-dwarfs, if such a thing can exist (not sure if Aüle's children can have progeny with Ilúvatar's children).
This is what strongmen/powerlifters have to do everyday in order to maintain their weight/strength, and most say it's the worst part of their training routine and can be somewhat demoralizing. Some even get up in the middle of the night to squeeze in a meal

"Taking jewelry to strange places" was so pythonesque it cracked me up "Listen, strange jewelers hidin' in mountains, distributin' rings is no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical volcanic ceremony!"
I guess I've always pictured breakfast, luncheon, and dinner as full meals, while 2nd breakfast, elevensies, and supper would be smaller meals or light snacks while afternoon tea would simply be tea or coffee with biscuits or cucumber sandwiches for an afternoon refresher. One also must consider that Hobbits are an agricultural people who are probably working dawn till dusk at intense physical labor, hence requiring more calories. Also, they mentioned that Hobbits probably have supercharged metabolisms.
So, after eating themsrlves to death, nothing is seen or heard of Shad's team for a week? Well..., 'everything is a poison, and the dosage determines toxicity' - Paracelsus

And then to bed!"
This whole channel was just a trick he lured us in with all the historical weaponry and magic system talk only so he could have a big audience when eventually he starts more comedy like skits
I always see this meal schedule as maybe how a farmer or rancher would eat. Usually you get up early 5 or 6 ib morning. First breakfast would be something quick to eat to hold you over until chores were done. Maybe a biscuit and quick cup of coffee. Then off to feed the animals. Then your second breakfast which is a full meal. Then off to work again with snacks in between meals for extra energy. Having this much food and thus kind of meal schedule doesn't really work out unless you're a hard worker and busy all day.
*could it be that actual Hobbits have such an insanely rapid metabolism that it actually does require seven meals a day to keep them from becoming famished and falling over and becoming inadvertent trip hazards to others?*
The Hobbits seem to represent a Medieval sort of existance. I'd imagine that they spent all day working like Medieval villagers, so they'd work it off, instead of letting it all accumulate like that poor unfortunate at Shad's right. Wouldn't the food they eat be very simple, which should go down better--and stay there?
That's actually a really good point. Smaller creatures do have faster metabolism. Take a bird vs an elephant. The bird seem to eat less but that's because of the difference in size. If you compare the food/size ratio you would see that the bird has a higher food/size ratio. As hobbits are half the size of a regular human with 5 meals a day, it's very possible that real hobbits would have higher food/size ratio. But we have to consider that half the size is not that big of a difference in size, so the higher food quantity would be very noticeable. But even from 5 to 7 meals is not that big of a difference l.
You could eat seven meals, but they'd have to be smaller ones. It's slightly more structured than grazing. If you treat the luncheon and supper like the biggest meals of the day, the rest are basically just snack breaks. Farmers used to eat quite a bit back in the day because they were working so hard and needed the extra calories, so I always figured the hobbits were mostly farmers and the ones that did something else still ate more or less like everyone else because they were used to it. That sirloin looked really tasty!
I do believe Tolkien wrote that Hobbits eat six meals a day "when they can get them," but goes no further in describing their eating habits. Presumably the meals are smaller in proportion than a full-sized human meal, but also smaller overall, so as to provide the necessary energy throughout the day as opposed to devouring three larger meals.
Hey Shad! I am currently reading Rhythm of War and I noticed that you were in the acknowledgements for reference for historical combat, in the book. I've been a fan of yours for a while and it is so cool to read and think "Oh man! That sounds like an addition by Shad!" when reading some of the fight scenes and remembering videos you've made talking about the same topic. The example that comes to mind is when you did the video on the murderstroke in that anime and spoke about stopping an overhand blow mid-swing before it could build up momentum.
I just wanted to highlight here at the end, this is what tolkien meant! As they raised their glasses together in good company among friends and with full bellies there is no greater joy! This was a great video shad!
If they wanted to mimic 1900s English eating habits they missed a few meals... Namely: Twelveses, St. Matthew's Meal, Apres Lunch, Midnight Feast, and 2am Snack.
@AileDiablo You don't put yourself into a calorie deficit consuming 3000-5000 calories a day by goin to the gym 2 or 3 times a week.

I would love to see how viable it is to train inexperienced people to fight "bandits". For example, the hero comes to a repressed town of mostly elderly, women, and children. The hero teaches them to fight in a week or less and they defend the town and free themselves. (you could commission the local Hema group to play the bandits) and LARP of course for safety reasons.
In a way, the ability of an “inhuman” hobbit to eat so much more makes a bit of sense. Smaller creatures tend to eat more than larger creatures in terms of body weight, such as how insects typically eat their own body weight in food.
With all the power they have absorbed all at once, the boy's natural fat is going to become so dense that it'll compress into natural sword-proof armour. They'll be unstoppable!

I know it was the ring, but Frodo was a broken shell of a Hobbit, who did the Isuldur thing and refused to destroy the ring. (This is all from books, not movies, before you question my fandom ;-D)
Please bear in mind, Jackson added the 7th meal. TOLKIEN only had 6. Hobbits "needed" these meals because, in theory at least, they were working hard and needed the extra calories. Just because 6 meals are available does NOT mean we eat all 6 everyday. Consider farmer Maggot and family, who had the one large meal and then went to bed. Not all Hobbits do this. I usually only do 3 meals, with afternoon tea.
In addition, Tolkien mentioned that Hobbits loved good plain food. The best approximation of the types of food that Hobbits would eat would be that of an Edwardian farmer. As a gentlehobbit, Bilbo would have his meat delivered to him by his butcher instead of slaughtering it himself, but other than that there is no indication of a hobbit haute cuisine for the upper classes. Tolkien was wavered about including New World foods: he edited out a mention of tomatoes in his abridged _The Hobbit,_ but referenced potatoes in _The Two Towers._ A big part of afternoon tea was cakes. It would have been nice it one of the meals had included mushrooms, since hobbits love them so much.
As a halfling in D&D you can hide behind a person that is bigger than you as a rogue and I was wondering how functional would that be in a real life situation.

I think, genuinely, that despite a hobbits prodigious appetite they actually have very good portion control. Like in the books, Bilbo was absolutely peeved that the dwarves emptied his pantry and finished an entire seed cake.
yeah they probably just eat much smaller meals. but just eat a lot of them. in fact a lot of body builders will eat like 5 smaller meals everyday instead of the typical 3. so the idea isn't exactly unprecedented.
Well they are also half as big as the average adult human.... I feel like their size also doubles their metabolism. Especially considering most Hobbits were really hard workers too, from farmers, to gardeners, brewers, potters, ranchers, etc. If you've worked EXTREMELY hard, you'll know just how fast you get hungry too, but those are mostly like a snack type of hungry, not a full on meal.
Yeah. If a small body is working half the day, it needs an almost constant recharge of energy.
And it'd mostly small portions, enough to go back to work. Only the three main meals would be big. And not even that big, since they would've eaten something not that long ago.
In the end, they eat the proportional food of a human worker, but spaced along the whole day.
[Party feasts like Bilbo's retirement are another can of worms, they're special occasions]
Edit: plus, once the body gets accustomed to the hours of eating, it will regulate metabolism to adapt to it. You can't eat like a hobbit once and call it imposible, you need to do it for an extended period of time.
Except pippin ate 4 lembas breads. One bite of which fills a man's stomach.
Assumptions being that "fills a stomach" just means an average meal and not literally to the brim, the bread has around 4 bites (Its been a while, and I remember the bread looking bigger, but 4 bites makes the calculation huge already), and hobbits have half size stomachs compared to men.
All that means pippin ate 16 meals that would satisfy a full sized man and still seemed fairly hungry. And that's assuming they're only 4 bites large.
@@DarthZ01 lembas breads closest irl equivalents are either bannock (which, btw, isn't exclusive to the native Americans but also to the Gaelic area as well), or hard tack. Lembas isn't magical, either, as far as I know. Which just means it's a honey, fruit and nut bread that's highly dense in carbs. And hard tack, along side a beverage (normally water or an alcohol) and some cheese or jerky were the daily rations for many a man in the past. So if you take lembas bread as a non magical food, that's just nutrient rich and dense with carbs, then in theory legolas (my phone wants to say Legoland lol) saying you can fill a man's stomach with just a bite isn't erroneous. I've had bannock, and it's very much something you can nibble on during a hike and stave off hunger for hours. I've had modern hard tack, and it's lesser then bannock in that regard. But the thing is, I've also sat with my family and eaten ALOT of bannock during a campsite cuz I'm bored. So, I think what legolas actually meant in his needlessly flowery way of talking alot of the elves in the books had, was that in a pinch, you could eat just lembas bread for days, and stay comfortably full on small rations.
And pippin isn't your average hobbit. He's immature and impulsive for much of his adventure and only matures once he realizes the state of the world. Also, he didn't know that lembas bread was intended to be eaten in small amounts.
Further to my point, though, is that after Frodo and Sam get seperated from the fellowship, they eat appropriately for the rest of their journey and their lembas stores last until the get to Mount doom.

Yes, this is more how I eat. Light breakfast (a protein pancake usually), handful of nuts for 2nd, handful of grapes and cheese for elevenzies. Lunch is my big meal, followed by light snacks (fruit, cheese, hummus and veggies, granola bar, etc) until bed.
I usually eat a light breakfast a couple of breakfast cakes or something like that, with two cups of coffee. Have a mid morning sandwich. Then have a full meal lunch. Then have another sandwich in the mid afternoon. Then have a pre-dinner of biscuits, grapes, coffee and such little things like that. Then have a full dinner. Then have some sweet heavy puddings. Then have an apple half an hour before bed.
To be fair, I think that elevenses is more of a snack time, like afternoon tea.
@@ranger3576 In WFRP it was a constant snacking. Hobbits would rather putter around and make pastries than survive on large amounts of bland staples.
They have one religious festival in the Moot where they eat like that, Pie Week. Everything closes down and the hobbits spend their days making fruit preserves and pies which they immediately eat.
Yea, I went the opposite route, I kinda pictured them not only as seven full meals, but like seven buffet meals. The ones you gotta roll away from xD
I feel like I need to defend my husband's honour here: I generally do the cooking in our house purely because I am the better cook, but Sir Ben's eggs are the best I've ever had. 🙌
Haha
Crucial knowledge there, Mrs Sir Ben
I might try Mr Mrs Sir Ben's sloppy egg Season All recipe
Does he make eggs Sir Benedict?
Gordon Ramsey makes sloppy eggs as well.
This is why Hobbits never leave the Shire. They're either spending all their time making food, eating it, and after they've eaten it and can't move.
Yep, that is in fact the canonical reason.
Just wait til you Zoomers hear about Cobain
That farmer must make a lot of high price salad. If you know what I mean.
Thus the reason for that super-food they use when traveling.
"Adventures? Are you bloody high on your pipeweed, Gandalf, I can't raise my butt from my chair!"
now i want to know how Hobbits stay fit, and do they actually digest any of that?
Next challenge idea, gather 5 other men, preferably two that are taller than average, and one that's just a bit taller than you guys, then spend 6 months traveling to an active volcano, just an idea of course.
There's an old series called A Simple Walk. Where two guys walk from the Shire set to the mount doom location.
Sounds like a good excuse for a trip to Hawai'i
Sadly, there are no active volcanos in Australia. There are a few inactive ones, but nothing active
That sounds... like an adventure. No self respecting hobbit would do something as unhobbit like as an adventure!
throw a rolex into a volcano on iceland.
You mentioned that you were feeling really good between meals. People's blood sugar tends to drop at about the 2hr mark depending on what you eat and biochemistry. When you eat, it spikes your insulin since your body has to take care of the excess sugars. When your insulin level spikes your serotonin levels also spike and thus you feel happy. It's why some people end up addicted to food, particularly if you suffer from depression. It literally makes you feel good.
thank you for the explanation.
Add a pair of aching leg joints and a sedentary life routine and now you know why I'm overweight
huh well thats interesting... wonder if thats related to how for afternoon tea I eat more then I do at dinner lol
That’s why hobbits are so damn jolly all the time then
Bro I hope that's all it is, cause the option I was afraid of was that Shad had gone into ketoacidosis and was feeling drunk from the ketones, and was literally about to fall into a coma. There was a moment in the video when my stomach dropped cause what he was describing sounded like diabetic coma was about to strike, and I would really rather that NOT happen to him.
I went to uni with a bloke who could literally eat enough that his abdomen was physically distended, far in excess of what everyone else had, nap for an hour or so and come back skinny as he was before he started. He was 5'2" or so and looked like a 12 year old. I swear to this day that he was actually a hobbit pretending to be a small human.
they travel in our world now and then, but never for long often hidden, and utterly invisible when they don't wish to be found.
Pretty much although hobbit meals aren't alway huge meals they did some as small ones as they did here if your a particular person like myself that loves food you mag be oksy somehow I'm still slim XD
Hi, are you speaking about me? Because that sounds like me. A lot.
Meanwhile, I eat one salad leaf, nap for an hour or so, and come back 1kg heavier.
Reminds me of Tarrare.
Reasons to subscribe to Shad:
1. He legitimate loves medieval fantasy, he loves it so much he wrote a book!
2. He wants things to be realistic enough that is still believable awhile never ruining the fun of unrealistic cool stuff we love like extremely big swords!
3. He goes the extra mile to make interesting videos, like entering a below zero lake in a barrel to test if it was floatable.
4. He didn't beat the crap out of Jazza for breaking his swords.
5. He didn't beat the crap out of Asher when he beat him in Archery with zero experience.
6. He developed type 2 diabetes with more levels in cholesterol than his levels in fighter for this video.
7. And he bullied a poor hobbit that was living in a barel
I cackled at this, so well played.

Well done crossover
The concept of Hobbit civilisation seems to revolve less around food preparation; the planting, farming, harvesting, preserving, preparing, and ultimately cooking of not just the next meal, but all future meals. All hobbits would live in what is essentially a "kitchen village", its economy based on the buying and selling of each other's produce. As a result, the hobbit physique is moderately athletic but "well padded".
Also, my theory on hobbit feet is that they are not proportionally bigger, they just appear that way because their entire race/species have never worn footwear of any kind. Unlike the human foot with its squished-together toes, the hobbit foot's toes are widely spaced, the skin slightly thicker on the upper, and the soles both thick and wide like the pads on dogs and cats (and the soles of overprices running shoes). Thanks to their natural habitat, they have never walked on anything harder than grassy meadows, dirt roads, and wooden floorboards; however, the stone floors and streets of human civilisation might wear on their soles after a while (like that captive tiger or bear in some rich idiot's "private zoo" with concrete floors).
Serious talk: In general, small mammals have higher caloric needs relative to body size, because their increased surface area relative to volume means they lose heat more quickly and need to burn more energy to maintain body temperature. (there are some species of tiny shrews that can literally starve to death in a matter of hours.) This may go some way towards explaining hobbits increased appetites--they literally biologically have to eat more food.
Do you have any idea in how the biology around the matabolism works on real people with dwarf syndrome?
@@ChadwickDickinson thanks for putting that thought in my head
I think they forgot children and short adults exist🤣
Small mammals might have higher caloric needs relative to body size but still won't need to eat as many calories a day as humans.
Even a large breed dog only needs roughly half the calories of an average man's to maintain weight. And all dogs have a faster metabolism than humans.
It's simply not that straightforward. And hobbits don't just eat a lot "for their size", they eat as much (or even more in Merry and Pippin's case) than creatures double their size - which of course is complete nonsense.
I identify as a small mammal 😂
"He went off to live with the elves, and you know what that means..." I choose to interpret that as a euphemism akin to telling a child their dog went off to live on a farm.
"Passed into legend" sounds much better than "An Hero'd"
@Astroblaze the Reality Traverser I had interpreted it as the old Hobbit said, "He's cracked, he is !"
Oh snap, i thought joining the elves meant you were gay ._.

You need to be working between meals, Hobbits aren't lazy someone has to grow and raise all that food.
Exactly. I remember on the Movie, it's clear narated that they love everything that grows, pertaining to gardening and planting vegetables and raising Livestocks.
@@bryanmerel How have the Hobbits not become an integral part of Middle Earth's economy?
@@rhorynotmylastname7781 question is....do Hobbit even have yhe concept of...money? 🤔

@@cleanixx5343 But it is never mentioned that they... pay the way see it for example when Humans eat at a Hobbit Inn.

What are Hobbits coming to these days when they can't eat 7 full course meals a say
As someone who's hypoglycemic, I eat like this daily, so if I may, I'd like to inform you guys of how best to have done this.
Starting off, your 1st, Luncheon, and supper are your three big main meals. Next is 2nd breakfast, elevensies, and supper, these are your smaller meals, slightly bigger than a snack, but smaller than your full meal. Then finally you have your afternoon tea, this one you did fairly spot on, keep it simple with things like fruits and cheeses, or you can make this your sweets meal since cupcakes and the like pair with tea so well. Other than that I'd say you guys did great in surviving a hypo's meal day.
Sidenote: This has also brought an interesting concept to mind for me. Since our human bodies see the overuse of one's pancreas, and therefore an increase of natural insulin production, as a detriment, but someone like me who IS hypoglycemic can do this and be fine, what if the pancreas of hobbits/halflings naturally developed to produce a larger amount of natural insulin, hence why they're able to eat twice as much as a regular human and feel just fine?
Very cool thought
I want to see a LoTR spinoff series where Shaddeus Underhill is pursuing his identity theft nemesis, Frodo Baggins. Always a step behind, he nearly catches Frodo at the Grey Havens.

What he DIDN’T realize is the innkeeper forgot to add the damage to the rooms rented for the night..... FROOOODOOOOO!!
Cogent campaign!
XD
This. Yes, that. Do it. they need to do it
We need that
I mean this is genious :D
One thing to remember about hobbits is that their society is very agrarian. Anywhere they go, they walk. The hour or so in between meals is spent doing chores, pulling weeds, shoveling hay, taking long walks (with half sized hobbit legs) and occasionally getting involed with the affairs of wizards.
Yeah. Farmers in my country SEEM to eat like crazy, but the amount of calories they burn in all their daily chores makes them actually sinewy.
Und theyre smaller. Which means they need more calories per kg weight than a normal size person
You also have to account for the author's perspective with the meals, we are talking about a British author who grew up with these meals. So a little research shows 3 of the 7 meals listed are supposed to be tea with a light snack, not full-on meals in their own right. Supper and DInner are weird because 1 of those would be a large meal, but the other would probably be like an appetizer meal. None of this accounts for any of the meals having dessert either, so we could actually be talking about an 8th meal on occasion.
@@TheNewRidore Yeah, that makes sense. So that's why it seems like a Hobbit about 3/4 the size of a normal human can eat nearly 3 times as much as a human.
@@TheNewRidore Very true, and the English country labourer from Tolkien's day would have eaten breakfast before sunrise, a very long day, so supper is almost a light snack a short time before bed and breakfast is super early before you start working in the fields.

Shad: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be eating. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Ozzy. The ones that really mattered. Full of calories and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end, because how could the end be happy? How could the stomach go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this sickness. Even seven meals must pass. A new course will come. And when the sun shines, it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Ozzy, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept eating. Because they were holding on to something.

That would be weird. I thought dwarves saw swords as weapons for weaklings. The only weapon that can come close to a battle axe as big as them is a hammer of a similar size, if you are more into whacking than splitting.
There are enough human tribes in the Middle Earth (includding the three hobbit tribes) to get one with dwarfish temperament. Or maybe half-dwarfs, if such a thing can exist (not sure if Aüle's children can have progeny with Ilúvatar's children).

One also must consider that Hobbits are an agricultural people who are probably working dawn till dusk at intense physical labor, hence requiring more calories. Also, they mentioned that Hobbits probably have supercharged metabolisms.

I always see this meal schedule as maybe how a farmer or rancher would eat. Usually you get up early 5 or 6 ib morning. First breakfast would be something quick to eat to hold you over until chores were done. Maybe a biscuit and quick cup of coffee. Then off to feed the animals. Then your second breakfast which is a full meal. Then off to work again with snacks in between meals for extra energy. Having this much food and thus kind of meal schedule doesn't really work out unless you're a hard worker and busy all day.

*could it be that actual Hobbits have such an insanely rapid metabolism that it actually does require seven meals a day to keep them from becoming famished and falling over and becoming inadvertent trip hazards to others?*
No Frodo and Sam made it for a long time on Lembas (whatever power bars that is)
@@felixtheswiss bear in mind lembas can fill the stomach of a grown man with one bite. So it should handily sustain a pair of hobbits.
The Hobbits seem to represent a Medieval sort of existance. I'd imagine that they spent all day working like Medieval villagers, so they'd work it off, instead of letting it all accumulate like that poor unfortunate at Shad's right.
Wouldn't the food they eat be very simple, which should go down better--and stay there?
Or they are simply less efficient at actually absorbing nutrients and thus need more
That's actually a really good point. Smaller creatures do have faster metabolism. Take a bird vs an elephant. The bird seem to eat less but that's because of the difference in size. If you compare the food/size ratio you would see that the bird has a higher food/size ratio.
As hobbits are half the size of a regular human with 5 meals a day, it's very possible that real hobbits would have higher food/size ratio. But we have to consider that half the size is not that big of a difference in size, so the higher food quantity would be very noticeable. But even from 5 to 7 meals is not that big of a difference l.

You could eat seven meals, but they'd have to be smaller ones. It's slightly more structured than grazing. If you treat the luncheon and supper like the biggest meals of the day, the rest are basically just snack breaks. Farmers used to eat quite a bit back in the day because they were working so hard and needed the extra calories, so I always figured the hobbits were mostly farmers and the ones that did something else still ate more or less like everyone else because they were used to it. That sirloin looked really tasty!

I do believe Tolkien wrote that Hobbits eat six meals a day "when they can get them," but goes no further in describing their eating habits. Presumably the meals are smaller in proportion than a full-sized human meal, but also smaller overall, so as to provide the necessary energy throughout the day as opposed to devouring three larger meals.
Hey Shad! I am currently reading Rhythm of War and I noticed that you were in the acknowledgements for reference for historical combat, in the book. I've been a fan of yours for a while and it is so cool to read and think "Oh man! That sounds like an addition by Shad!" when reading some of the fight scenes and remembering videos you've made talking about the same topic. The example that comes to mind is when you did the video on the murderstroke in that anime and spoke about stopping an overhand blow mid-swing before it could build up momentum.
I just wanted to highlight here at the end, this is what tolkien meant! As they raised their glasses together in good company among friends and with full bellies there is no greater joy! This was a great video shad!
Only later finds out that the exact hobbit diet was based on the 1900’s English eating Habits,
Shad: OH SO I COULD HAVE SURVIVED?!?!!!?
Specifically university professors!
I was questioning the portion sizes they chose for most of the seven meals.
If they wanted to mimic 1900s English eating habits they missed a few meals... Namely: Twelveses, St. Matthew's Meal, Apres Lunch, Midnight Feast, and 2am Snack.
When the West discovered Korea, they legit found hobbits. Many meals each day, little work, much idleness
" one ring to rule them all" was actually the story of the Hobbit-butt handling the aftermath of all that food

No joke, watching this right after second breakfast
I eat enough for 1st and 2nd breakfast to be done at the same time
@AileDiablo I hope nobody listens to this horrible fucking advice..
People underestimate how fucking serious it is to not have a second breakfast when you are working a field since 6am lol
@AileDiablo You don't put yourself into a calorie deficit consuming 3000-5000 calories a day by goin to the gym 2 or 3 times a week. Which is the only way you lose weight, is by being in a calorie deficit. Along with saying eat with your hands and shoveling it in? You should just delete the nonsense you posted.
Edit: my bad 8000 calories in a day, 15 apples and 3 bananas, lmao. Also you ARE trying to give advice. Reread your stupid post. "Use your hands to increase the frequency of how much you eat, to the point it hurts to talk" ????? Wtf, I can't deal with this nonsense. Delete this crap, some people desperate to lose weight will see this and think it's a good idea. (It obviously isn't, for ANYONE of ANY size)
@AileDiablo There is no way I can eat alot with a fork? Why? Does the fork give extra calories per bite? This is nonsense, all of it. I am 6'5" 225 pounds. I go to the gym 4-6 times per week. I don't want to eat so much it hurts to talk, why would I? Are you trying to give advice on how to win a diabetes eating contest or something? Wtf is wrong with you?
"I didn't have any flour, so I used cement mix." No, no. Wrong fantasy setting entirely. That's Dwarf bread from Discworld!
Or stone bread from Old Warhammer Fantasy
Also the pancakes from one of the Ernest movies! XD
They're also eating it wrong: you're meant to gaze at it, think about how you're not yet desperate enough to eat it, and the sheer relief will ease the pinch of hunger
Optional step: sharpen and swing at your enemies
That was actually a plot point in "Ma and Pa Kettle at the Fair".
Would like to see the rat on a stick meals
I would love to see how viable it is to train inexperienced people to fight "bandits". For example, the hero comes to a repressed town of mostly elderly, women, and children. The hero teaches them to fight in a week or less and they defend the town and free themselves. (you could commission the local Hema group to play the bandits) and LARP of course for safety reasons.
This functional fandom thing is amazing. I need more.
In a way, the ability of an “inhuman” hobbit to eat so much more makes a bit of sense. Smaller creatures tend to eat more than larger creatures in terms of body weight, such as how insects typically eat their own body weight in food.

Sam was the true hero of the story, if you ask me. I know it was the ring, but Frodo was a broken shell of a Hobbit, who did the Isuldur thing and refused to destroy the ring.

Please bear in mind, Jackson added the 7th meal. TOLKIEN only had 6. Hobbits "needed" these meals because, in theory at least, they were working hard and needed the extra calories. Just because 6 meals are available does NOT mean we eat all 6 everyday. Consider farmer Maggot and family, who had the one large meal and then went to bed. Not all Hobbits do this. I usually only do 3 meals, with afternoon tea.
In addition, Tolkien mentioned that Hobbits loved good plain food. The best approximation of the types of food that Hobbits would eat would be that of an Edwardian farmer. As a gentlehobbit, Bilbo would have his meat delivered to him by his butcher instead of slaughtering it himself, but other than that there is no indication of a hobbit haute cuisine for the upper classes. Tolkien was wavered about including New World foods: he edited out a mention of tomatoes in his abridged _The Hobbit,_ but referenced potatoes in _The Two Towers._ A big part of afternoon tea was cakes. It would have been nice it one of the meals had included mushrooms, since hobbits love them so much.
Bilbo does eat a second breakfast in The Hobbit book, which may be why Jackson added that
"We laugh more as death approaches" is such a mood. Even more funny as they became more delirious as the video goes on.
As a halfling in D&D you can hide behind a person that is bigger than you as a rogue and I was wondering how functional would that be in a real life situation.
I think from the right angles and taking in account the size and builds of both people ya could hide behind someone for a bit

I appreciate the “Underhill Identity Theft” bit, but I think Shad’s true Hobbit surname should include the word “Brook” since his real surname is Brooks.
