Saturday Morning Gamer+ Chat
We now have a Gamer+ chat room at Tenkar's Tavern on Discord. In fact there are two of them, a voice chat and a text chat. It works best if you're in both so you can talk and share pics and links at the same time.
Inspired Unreality is our weekly chat event, Saturdays at 11:00 AM CT. I post a Gamer+ Weekly Update and suggest a topic but it's open game chat and anyone can post a topic or just start talking about their favorite games.
We will have other events including Actual Play and Podcasting. But the chat room is always open. If you're working with someone on Gamer+, in chat or in comment threads, it's cool to take it to Tenkar's Tavern and actually talk about it.

I'm starting a new intermittent series: "Bits & Bobs - This & That." The idea is a miscellaneous mish mash of call ins, ideas, and thoughts that haven't evolved enough for a full episode.

Do Hobbits Drink Hot Chocolate?
This was the first topic of discussion on Inspired Unreality today and after several discouraging searches concluding that Middle Earth has no chocolate I finally found the result I was looking for.
"Chocolate is mentioned in an draft of Bilbo's Farewell Party. Hobbits produced chocolate themselves, or bought from other peoples:
He stepped down. One hundred and forty-four flabbergasted hobbits sat back speechless. Mr Proudfoot removed his feet from the table. Mrs Proudfoot swallowed a large chocolate and choked. Then there was complete silence for quite forty winks, until suddenly every Baggins, Took, Brandybuck, Chubb, Grubb, Burrowes, Bracegirdle, Boffin and Proudfoot began to talk at once."

Click (more) and scroll down.
Although these words did not make it into the book we clearly see hot chocolate described. I mean after all how could the hobbit mommys get all their little hobbits home for elevenses without serving a nice mug of chocolate?
I found the full text.
"Lastly, to make an Announcement. He said this so loudly and suddenly that
everyone sat up who could. I regret to announce that - though, as I have said, 71 years is far too short a time among you - this is the END. I am going. I am leaving after dinner. Good-bye!
He stepped down. One hundred and forty-four flabbergasted hobbits sat
back speechless. Mr Proudfoot removed his feet from the table. Mrs Proudfoot
swallowed a large chocolate and choked. Then there was complete silence for
quite forty winks, until suddenly every Baggins, Took, Brandybuck, Chubb,
Grubb, Burrowes, Bracegirdle, Boffin and Proudfoot began to talk at once.
'The hobbit's mad. Always said so. Bad taste in jokes. Trying to pull the fur
off our toes (a hobbit idiom). Spoiling a good dinner. Where's my handkerchief. Won't drink his health now. Shall drink my own. Where's that bottle. Is he going to get married? Not to anyone here tonight. Who would take him? Why good¬bye? Where is there to go to? What is he leaving?' And so on. At last old Rory Brandybuck (8) (well-filled but still pretty bright) was heard to shout: 'Where is he now, anyway? Where's Bilbo?'
There was not a sign of their host anywhere.
As a matter of fact Bilbo Baggins had disappeared silently and unnoticed in
the midst of all the talk. While he was speaking he had already been fingering a small ring (9) in his trouser-pocket. As he stepped down he had slipped it on - and he was never seen in Hobbiton again."
