Am I the only one that gets hungry every time Tolkien describes food?

Every single damn time Tolkien describes food in these books I get really hungry, and not just for normal food, but lord of the rings food. It's Hobbit and Elven food that effects me the most. I know I can't get lord of the rings style food through normal means and so I get mildly frustrated, and it's been sort of plaguing my reading experience and making these books less enjoyable than I wish. I am reading these books for the very first time mind you. I don't know, Tolkien is just so good at describing things, so the moment the topic gets to food I'm done for. It's not unendurable, but it makes it somewhat hard to concentrate.
