    Was there ever much mention of dwarven cooking? And who's the "etc" here? Smeagol's people? The only mention we have of what he ate before he became Gollum was that his grandma taught him how to suck eggs

      Dwarves typically didnt cook. They traded for food from whoever lived outside of their holds. I think thorin was racist against hobbits in the book because hobbits just chill, party, and make/grow food, which in his head meant they werent good enough for anything else.

      Wasn't Smeagol just another hobbit?

        I think the river folk or whatever they were called were related to hobbits but slightly different at least culturally
