#Dwarven foods aren’t all mean cheese and bread guys

[thelittletobsterthatcould]

I’ve been trying to get better at wrong foods that Dwarrow would eat that isn’t just “spiced *insert meat here* with *type of bread* and *type of cheese*” so I have some thoughts:

Who’s to say they don’t like salads??? Maybe they do but are such haters that they automatically refuse to eat the elven salads??? Who’s also to say that the elves version of salads are pretty bland, with like lettuce/cabbage, cucumber, and some nuts with a ginger-y dressing or NO dressing?? Who’s to say that they aren’t more used to things like fruit salads or bean salads??? Who’s to say that elven food isn’t inherently more simple in flavor when they’re more used to complex flavors and salads?????

Like you’re gonna look me in the eyes and say Kili wouldn’t eat a salad with roasted corn, chickpeas, avocado, jalapeño, shallots, pepitas, and fresh basil??? With a nice creamy lemon pepper dressing???? Or that Fili doesn’t seem the type to enjoy a strawberry salad with spinach, toasted pecans, avocado and fresh mozzarella, with a nice balsamic dressing??? Or that Dwalin wouldn’t CRUSH a Bacon-cabbage panzanella?????? Maybe Thorin would enjoy a harvest salad and quick-pickled pomegranate seeds!!! Have you ever considered that maybe Dis loves a good Acorn squash salad with a Tahini vinaigrette????
