What would you have as your last meal in life?

Appetizer: French bread with butter or bruschetta
Salad: Taco salad :)
Main Course: Prime Rib with pomme frites
Dessert: dark chocolate mousse with brownie bits

Beverage: Portuguese Sangria
 
Physics news on Phys.org
1 California Burrito and 1 bean and cheese burrito from Lolitas taco shop.

10 fish tacos from TY's Oyster Bar.

2 double doubles from in'n' out.

Diet coke.

Dessert: No need. That meal will kill me before I get here.
 
Appetizers: Escargot bourguignon with crusty french bread to sop up the sauce, and a mix of raw oysters with cocktail sauce, oysters rockefeller and charcoal grilled oysters in the shell with cocktail or horseradish sauce.

Entree: King crab legs with melted butter, lemon, and garlic dipping sauce.

Desert: Cheesecake and Key lime pie.

Beverages: I'd start with a nice aperitif, a nice white wine with appetizers and entree and ending with a digestif. Haven't made up my mind on what those would be yet.
 
1000 year old egg. Put one away for me now.

This (with the bruschetta)! But probably with a few beers instead of the sangria.
 
I wouldn't want it to be ordered, like in courses. I'd want it all at once:

King Crab (oh hell yeah!)
Ribeye steak, prime grade, rare
Carrots with ginger
Asparagus
Broccoli
Garlic mashed potatoes
Naan
Cauliflower
Tiramisu
Chocolate mousse
Onion rings
Squeaky cheese
Fresh home-grown tomatoes
Vanilla and chocolate ice cream
Sweet strawberries and blueberries
Pizza with pepperoni, olives, and mushrooms

Wow I'm hungry now.
 
Lisa, if you ate that all in one sitting, it would be your last meal!

With pickled ginger?

Or porridge?

Oooh, I'll add tiramisu! And the lobster bisque they served at the Bell/AT&T campus in Dallas, that place could have earned a few Michelin stars if it was public. Best food I've eaten in my life.

Wrongly preparated fugu. That would probably be my last if I ever have the chance to try such a food.
 
  • #12
I have simple tastes. This would be just fine.

Appetizer: Baked breadcrumbed zucchini and couliflower florets.
Salad: Spinach, broccoli, red onion, roma tomato, cucumber, radish, red pepper, blue cheese, raspberry vinigerette dressing.
Main Course: 18 oz tenderloin rare, grilled asparagus, seared jumbo shrimp and scallops w/ Turbo's Habenero salsa.
Dessert: Since this is pretend land, a pint of Vermonty Python Ben & Jerrys.
Beverage: Ice cold Mountain Dew with a crazy straw.
 
  • #14
Mountain Dew! Haha. <3

You can't go past a good steak, so I would have an eye fillet with mushroom sauce, garlic mash, broccolini (I hate asparagus!), baby carrots, corn on the cob with butter and pepper and baked cheesecake for desert. Wash it down with a few of those heavy, dark Belgian beers and a little whiskey, oh, and some sharp cheese and olives afterwards.

I developed a shellfish allergy about five years ago, have been in pain ever since, shellfish have always been my absolute favorite, not eating them is killing me. and so would eating them.

I've thought about testing this allergy periodically by ordering a shrimp cocktail to go, and eating it in a hospital waiting room.

But as a last meal, same thing except with lots of oysters on the half shell and no hospital.

The last few years I've been getting the soy version because the regular is just too bad for me. Not nearly as good of consistency but the taste is pretty good.

After barely eating for 9 days (tonsillectomy), I know what my first meal will be: sushi! And when I can take it the next choice will be greasy, salty, garlicky pizzas.. the only thing I'm craving for now :biggrin:

Good god.

I have one packet of top ramen in the house, I'm starving, and I accidentally just ended up in this thread.

I'm about to spend several hundred dollars at the grocery... :cry:

What feast did you decide on?

Here, on this second day of summer, it's cool and rainy. Perfect day for chicken soup made from scratch :!).

Pre-cooked chicken, and some mushroom compost.

And no, I'm not eating the compost. I still need to plant my garden.

I did though, drool over many things on your list, whilst at the store: King Crab legs, Lobster tails, scallops, clams, steaks galore, and fresh made bread...

Thank god the chicken is putting me to sleep right now, otherwizzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

I'd have the McDonald's Shamrock shake and a fresh Dunkin Donuts pumpkin-spice doughnut.

Bawahhh ha ha ha!

Since their both seasonal foods (one in March and the other in autumn), the meal would never be able to be assembled, and thus I would escape death!

I assume that was the point of this question... right?

That's an amazing list! The only thing I'd add is bacon. I actually can't believe you don't have that on there already, Lisa! :confused:

Just a massive amount of sushis with a good old Coke.

Maybe my taste will change until then though but this is what I would choose right now.

Here's a more difficult question, if you could only have ONE food dish, which one would it be?

I'd want fresh alaskan king crab legs, cooked, served with melted butter, lemon and garlic. King Crab is always found (even for restaurants) pre-cooked and frozen, so he made a trip to catch and eat fresh (never frozen) king crab legs. He said it was incredible and was by far much better than any lobster he'd eaten, so much more flavor. He definitely preferred it to lobster, it was his new favorite. Heck I prefer the pre-cooked stuff to lobster, I can only imagine fresh.

If I can't have the crab, an artichoke with the same lemon butter. :biggrin:

I don't know, but there would definitely big fat, skewered scallops on the menu.

Is there a limit on the portion size?

Butter seems to be the common denominator here. But nobody has posted they want to eat "butter" as their last meal...

One day, I will have to go back to Alaska, and see if my memory of fresh King Crab legs, stands up to my more current memory of fresh Dungeness Crab.

3 weeks until OCF, and I'll confirm whether or not a freshly cooked Artichoke, smothered in butter, is closer to Nirvana.

hmmm... I think this is a chemistry question. Can we move this thread? :-p

This reminds me of one of my favorite meals. I was about to exit the Navy, and my buddies took me out to dinner at some fancy restaurant near the football stadium down in San Diego.

Filet Mignon, smothered in hollandaise sauce.

Of course, I share Gollum's opinion of how steaks and fish should be prepared:

I've never met a Sushi I didn't like. Never had it with butter though.

hmmm...

Amaebi dipped in a steaming hollandaise, soy, wasabi sauce.
I'll have to experiment.
Hopefully, it doesn't come out like my meatloaf experiment.
As I recall, even my cat wouldn't touch it. x 2

This reminds me of my first failed food science experiment: Peanut Butter and Butter sandwich.
I think I was 8.

ah ha!

I think this girl solved it:

For my one dish, I will have shrimp, wrapped in oyster, wrapped in crab, wrapped in lobster, wrapped in scallop, wrapped in salmon, wrapped in steak, wrapped in ... ... ...
..., served in a pastry puff shell, smothered in hollandaise sauce. Seasoned to taste, of course.

Thank you.

  • Grif: A what?
  • Sarge: Put that in a sparrow (picture of a sparrow), stuff them both in a cornish hen (picture of a cooked hen), then put that in a chicken (picture of a guy in a chicken suit).

  • Grif: Two turkeys?
  • Sarge: Hey, it's Thanksgiving. Put that in a penguin (picture of some penguins), stuff that in a peacock (picture of the NBC logo from the '70s), then an eagle (picture of an eagle), shove it all in an albatross (picture of an albatross in flight), then an emu (that well-known picture of an emu's head, head on), next comes an ostrich (picture of a running ostrich), then a leopard (picture of a sleeping leopard)! Put all that in a pterodactyl (artist's rendering of a pterodactyl), and then stuff it in a Boeing 747 (picture of a 747).

Probably something vegetarian. I'm not vegetarian at all, but if it's my last meal I don't see the need for an animal to die since it's not doing me any good anyways.

If you have never had fiddleheads (immature ostrich ferns) you might like them, along with a side of pan-fried potatoes. Takes me back 50+ years, but still is a tempting breakfast.
