Tolkien on the menu

Been away for a few days without an internet connection, So bear with me while I do some catching up.

Friday in Langley on Whidbey Island Janice spotted a JRRT quotation on the back of the menu at the semi-fancy Bistro we were having supper in PRIMA BISTRO. It read:

"If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world"

--these of course being among the last words of Thorin Oakenshield, but I've never seen them put to this application before, though I do find it apt.
