This fresh blackberry tart deserves nothing less than to be topped with a dollop of fresh homemade whipped cream. The perfect ending to any meal.
Where did I leave off on Wednesday for my Lord of the Rings Menu? Or right, luncheon with the potato soup.
To finish off the culinary Lord of the Rings tour, next came afternoon tea, dinner, supper, and dessert. For afternoon tea we served up scones, biscotti, and well… tea. Nothing all that surprising there.
Then for dinner, I made a version of what is called “Balin’s spiced beef”. It was marinated and subsequently roasted with all kinds of spices, wine, and apple juice. And of course don’t forget the potatoes, onion, and carrots. What would a hobbits diet be without them?
After dinner came supper. While according the the books, dinner and supper were interchangeable, in the movies they were listed as separate entities and who am I to deny a reason for a 7th meal?
Since we already did meat and potatoes for dinner, supper was lighter and consisted of a sausage and cheese platter with various kinds of sausages, cheeses, and even some gherkins. If you haven’t gathered already from this week’s list of recipes, hobbits are big on the meat, potatoes, cheese, bread, pickled things, apples, berries, and tea.
Oh and ales. Plenty of that was poured as well.
The big finale for the end of the last movie came with this blackberry tart served with fresh whipped cream. You can’t spend all that time making a pretty homemade tart from scratch and not make fresh whipped cream, amiright? Same thing if you instead make an old-fashioned blackberry cobbler. Those berries deserve some love! Now excuse me, while I recover from my food coma.
