Thorin the chief dwarf places his breakfast order having invited himself to stay at Bilbo Baggins’ house.

See also the importance of breakfast as fuel for a good day’s thinking, and the kind of breakfast needed for a morning meeting.  And a quotation in general praise of breakfast.

“I like six eggs with my ham, when starting on a journey: fried not poached, and mind you don’t break ‘em.”
