Man eats all the food in 'Lord of the Rings' in tribute to his late father
Second breakfast. Elevenses. Luncheon. Afternoon tea. Dinner. Supper.
It was all consumed by one dedicated Lord of the Rings fan, who created a themed 14-course menu that mirrors the food eaten by characters in Peter Jackson's epic film trilogy — and it was all for a very important reason.
UK writer Nate Crowley commemorated one year since his father passed away with a back-to-back marathon of all three films from The Lord of the Rings — paired with a 14-course menu reflecting exactly what was eaten on screen.

Teaming up with a friend for the marathon, Crowley posted images of every course, interpretations of everything from Elven lembas bread to Denethor's "grim dinner." Here's the menu, and LOTR fans, prepare to be seriously impressed (and probably use this a guide for your next marathon.)

Crowley even picked out director Peter Jackson's cameo, when he snacks on a carrot as a villager of Bree.

Of course, Crowley heralded scene in which Uruk-hai make a meal out of a disobedient Orc.

It keeps going, with nods to the salted pork from the Isengard stores, Denethor's epic feast, and Crowley includes some truly heartwarming personal tributes to his dad.

Honestly, this kind of attention to detail is where large-scale, immersive, multi-sensory pop culture events get started.
But of course, it was more than just a fun thing to do, and Crowley's followers shared their appreciation for his commemorative event.
