📖 Origin Lore
In the fertile folds of the Shire, breakfast is more than custom — it is sacred law. Passed down from Bilbo’s own larder, First Breakfast honors the cycles of daybreak, hearthwork, and belly-song. When hobbit children stir, it is the sizzle of mushrooms and smell of baking bread that greets them, not alarms or clocks. This meal is not rushed — it is a sunrise of its own.
