last dinner...what would it be?

[bythebayov]

I am sure this has been discussed before, but I want to know, what would you have for your last meal? For me, this is a question that has been on my mind since the book came out but I think I would have Peruvian rotisserie chicken, steamed white rice w/ a hint of garlic and a salad with an incredibly acidic lime or lemon vinaigrette. To finish I would have the richest chocolate cake I could find and a giant glass of milk....ah, comfort!
Note...this changes daily!

[Amuse Bouches]

To start: A nice crudo -- toro, yellowtail, salmon. Paired with champagne.
Main course:
Duck breast, perfectly seared with the skin crisp and a small layer of fat, perfectly pink, sliced and served with a shallot and mustard sauce. My mother's garlic scalloped potatoes that she only makes at Christmas. The best red wine I've ever tasted. A nice salad with a light dressing and some bitter greens -- arugula or watercress. Brussels sprouts.
Dessert: Chocolate Chip Cookies. Like the kind they used to serve at the Huntington Library in San Marino, CA, but with more salt and with toasted walnuts.

Such a difficult hypothetical question to answer as to choose only a few out of the many wonderful possible foods seems like a crime but I wouldn't want to make myself sick on my last meal as it would have to be perfect and memorable! I would probably go for a 'tapas-style' display of mini-sized portions including some Middle Eastern mezze, a selection of Indian dishes (with lamb, duck and seabass), jamón ibérico de Bellota, dim sum and a some Argentinean empanadas. For dessert, a slice of white chocolate and dulce de leche cheesecake with dates, figs and mixed nuts and to drink, a bottle of a good reserve Malbec (Colomé from Salta or Séptimo Día from Mendoza). I'd go with a huge smile on my face, that's for sure!

A plate of spaghetti with my mom's sauce (after it's been in the fridge for a few days so the flavors come together), meatballs, a loaf of italian bread with a lot of butter, and a bottle of red wine.

[Insidious Rex]

A double full Sui circa 1990 Hot Truck of Ithaca, NY fame.

But seeing as it would be my LAST meal and danger wouldn’t be an issue, I think I would go for Fugu prepared by a blind sushi chef. Oh! And a Ballantine Burton Ale to wash down then neurotoxin with…

[bermudagourmetgoddess]

A pile of Maine Lobster with butter!
The BACON EXPLOSION - 5000 calories and 500 grams of fat (I will try it one day)
My Grandmother's homemade Double Double Chocolate cake and to end the meal truffled cheese, triple cream brie and aged gouda with a bottle of Chateau lafite Rothschild 1980

[Olallieberry]

A steamed artichoke with aioli or maybe just plain mayonnaise to dip, with a glass of milk. Followed by some sort of creamy, ridiculously sauce on gnocchi or pasta with tons of cheese. And for dessert, a box of premium assorted chocolates.

I always feel like I could die happy after a morning of dim sum...

[bythebayov]

I agree...dim sum just makes me happy! Love is with chrysanthemum tea mmmmmm

[SonyBob]

A big plate of original Nash's Hickory BBQ (Gravios Mills and Sedalia, MO.) with their own sauce. Why? It's the best BBQ EVER and since the sauce will never be produced for sale anymore, I'd live forever!

[newbatgirl]

Lasagna, preferably a good homemade version made with sausage.
A nice chopped vegetable and greens salad with a vinaigrette dressing.
Warm , fresh Italian bread
For dessert, a thick slice of cheesecake or a fresh, stuffed to order cannoli.

God, I'm hungry now!

[Tee]

at one time , unless I am wrong about the state, Texas ahd a website that listed the death row inmates last meal requests. I believe they took it down. It was a bit surreal, but it went, as you could imagine , from NOTHING to a huge meal. Maybe someone has saved it and will share with you.
It takes the hypothetical equasion out of your question.

[bythebayov]

would love to see that!

Same answer as in my profile for "best meal I ever had": Thanksgiving dinner as made by my mom and grandmom. Includes roast turkey, plain mashed potatoes with lots of butter and cream, garlic green beans, homemade rolls, mashed rutabega, sweet potatoes, olive tray, homemade cranberry sauce and gram's delicious turkey gravy. Served with love and copious amounts of the wine of your choosing. My mom gets enough for an army.

[scuzzo]

A grilled ribeye, grilled asparagus, mixed green salad, buttery garlic bread, creme brullee and something chocolate on the side.

[Jonny509]

Medium rare roast beef with horseradish, mashed potatoes, and green bean casserole.

With a black & tan.

Dinner with my wife at the bar at Sebo in San Francisco. The bar would have to include uni, Michael's ankimo and the tuna collar they made once for us.
