Irrefutable canon Tolkien fact #2:
One of the most popular dwarven bed time stories is the tale of Gunror the Foolish who refused to listen to his parents and only ate greens until one day he woke up as an elf and was hereafter bound to live his life in misery.
Dwalin will deny it to his dying breath but he takes the whole ‘more than one vegetable a week turns the mightiest of dwarves meek’ punchline of the story very seriously!
