Binging with Babish 7M Subscriber Special: LOTR Part 1

Years in the making (because I kept putting it off out of fear), the Lord of the Rings Special is finally upon us. And it's in two parts instead of three - you know, a trilogy. Babish you're a dumbass sometimes. Anyway we're diving into the make-ahead recipes for this seven-course feast, covering all the major hobbit food groups, and getting into the heavy stuff next week! Thank you so much for helping me reach 7 million subscribers!

We’ve had one yes. What about second Babish?

Legolas: “Lembas bread. One small bite is enough to fill the stomach of a full grown man”
Merry: “How many have you had?”
Pippin: “Four”

Next episode:

"LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS!"

[happythoughts]

Fun fact: the elven lembas bread in the Lotr movies was shortbread cookies made by the production team.

[TheLimeGreenMan]

In this episode: Babish realizes he has a bag of flaked almonds which is about to go bad.

[johndoe]

A Babish is never late, he arrives precisely when he means to.

[A_Moody_Bear]

Bold of you to assume that “hobbit sized” wouldn’t be twice as big as a normal portion.

[netherdominater]

Babish: "A very low oven, as low as your oven can go"

Me: **turns oven off** " *_Yeah, this is big brain time_* "

[kyrieespayos]

"Sorry i don't do magic food"

Alright then keep your secrets

[MondeSerenaWilliams]

"What about LOTR special?"
"You've already had it."
"We've had one, yes."
"What about second LOTR special?"

[Boxvoko]

I think hobbits would be incredibly miffed at the notion that they would get a smaller pie because of their size!

[joshuaburns]

"I'm making the mince pies hobbit sized." Babbish you fool, hobbit food is human sized because they love eating so much!

[cameronphenix]

Things I know to be fact from watching:

Babish bought too many sliced almonds and needed an excuse to use them.

[kuteken]

*“Even the smallest Whisk can change the course of the future.”*

- Galadriel when she give Elvish Whisk to Babish

[cnish]

This man said "fingies" with all the seriousness as he would "tiny whisk"

[javeriaahsan]

“There is only one Lord of the Tiny Whisk, only one who can bend it to his will. And he does not share power.”

[leeneedsfriends]

"under a broiler or, as the brits call it, a grill"

*so thats what a broiler is*

[MrSandman]

This channel is the very essence of Tolkien's quote
“If more of us valued food and cheer above hoarded gold, it would be a much merrier world”
Thanks for making the world that much better Babish!

I've always imagined lembas bread to taste like Irish shortbread. It just looks so crumbly in the movies and it's supposed to be sweet so my mind immediately made the connection when i was a kid and watched the movies for the first time and I still cannot be convinced that they don't taste like shortbread.
