Second Breakfast
One thing Boromir appreciated about Imladris was the food, abundant and varied. Arising late one morning, he followed the aroma of something extraordinary…
“Lingonberries! In a bread with pumpkin, of all things! What is that spice, do you think? Nutmeg? Or mace?” It was astounding how the smallest one could talk so much without breathing. “Those dwarves can eat, can’t they? And those men really tuck it away. We’d starve if not for second breakfast. Good thing none of them are around right now, more for us….”
They had the grace to blush, and happily share what little was left.

The comment about how much the 'litte one could talk without breathing' was such a perfect description of Pippin - right on the nose! And his comments about the other races 'tucking it away!' I would love to have had more of Boromir's reaction to that remark!
