With all these “gawd and jeebus” threads buzzing around, I thought I could post up a thread to get a little religion off page 1. So… tell me this.
It’s your last day on Earth. What would you eat? Where would you eat it? You’ll have to be quick about it, 'cause our alien abductors are taking off in a couple hours…
My answer:
I’d find me a high-end steak house and have 'em do it up like a Morrocan joint, with silk flowing from the ceiling, silver-gilded tables, and lush velvet pillows on the floor.
My first course would be a bowl of tomato-red pepper soup, with a little garlic naan. Tomato soup’s always been a comfort food for me…
My second course would be a small roasted quail with a brandy - lingonberry glaze, on a small bed of rice. Make sure it’s a fat lazy quail, of course… we don’t want any lean meat. Maybe just half a quail… I wanna save my appetite.
Then the harem of bellydancers would start performing while the main course arrives… I’ll have a fat Japanese Kobe filet with some Shishito pepper pesto, surrounded with some baby greens, and a dollop of truffle mushroom casserole. I’d pair it with a Syrah-Merlot blend, or maybe a nice Cab-Merlot.
Dessert… hmm. I’ll start with a nice 30-yr old scotch while I decide between the cheesecake and the creme-brulee. Finish off with a nice Cuban cigar and perhaps a fine brandy, if I can still stand up.
Hopefully I’ll have a heart attack as the spaceship takes off, so I don’t have to endure “the probe”.
Aperitif: Single Malt Scotch
Appetizer: Hot Wings & good microbrew
Entree: Porterhouse & wine
Desert: Pizza & more microbrew
Night cap: Single Malt Scotch
I’d head for K-Paul’s in the French Quarter, the one-stop-shop for all my Last Meal needs.
Aperitif: Lagavulin 16 single malt Scotch
Appetizers: Cup of Leek & Shiitake Champagne Cream Soup and a plate of Cajun Jambalaya
Entree: Blackened Twin Tenderloins with Debris Sauce, and the server’s recommended Pinot
Dessert: Creme Brulee w/ a praline bottom
Nightcap: back to the Lagavulin
Then I’d disappear into the crowds of the Quarter, let those aliens try to find me.
a huge deep fried plate of french fries from hardies…
and maybe, even though it’d be still ethically wrong, a real burger. Not just one from mcdonalds, i mean a nicely made burger from a good place, well done (charred really), and just loads of bacon on it.
idk, lol. I really just want french fries right now…
Cool thread, I think I would have to train my stomach to handle my last meal though.
I don’t know the order but it would be something like this.
Vegetarian Bibimbap (the best I had was in the rural outskirts of Seoul at a cottage restaurant in the hills)
Fugu (still haven’t had it but it sounds pretty amazing)
Toro (so good, nothing like tuna and just amazing tasting)
Uni (once again tis amazing, particularly cut fresh from the shell)
Kobe Beef (never had it, always wanted to, but none of the American crap, I only want the good stuff)
some live octopus (I didn’t really like it the last time I had it but it is such a challenge to eat and just so scary that it has to be done!)
Guilin Dog meat (I don’t think I will ever eat it again but if I were offered anything on a last meal this would definitely be there, its good stuff)
Fresh Korean yellowtail or grooper or some other decent white fish (it seems wierd but korean fish is definitely better than Japanese, at least at the local level)
A bottle of good Sake (I don’t know enough about Sake to really name a good one, but I can taste the difference between a crap one and a good one)
Johnny Walker Blue label, I’m sure just one glass is fine (I’ve heard about it and seen it all the time in airplanes and I want to see what the fuss is about)
Some special green tea creme brulee (Just like I used to make at the Japanese restaurant I worked at, except with a special ingredient fused into the creme.
A portabello quesadilla from this one resurant in Duluth Minnesota.
Oh my god that thing was godly. It had big chunks of portabellow mushroom, onion, and pepper. OH my god it was tasty… It also came with a bunch of dipping stuff, like sour cream and this ciniman stuff. It was sooooooooo tasty.
it was crunchy, and mushy, and gooey, and sooooooooooooo fricken tasty… best meal EVAR.
