Pajiba

i'd have to go with a plentiful helping of chicken tikka masala with some naan and vegetable pakoras (so the whole room can smell me when they turn on the juice for the electric chair).

follow that with a caterpillar roll and some eel nigiri.

wash it down with some woodford reserve and coke.

then finish with a cookie dough blizzard (extra cookie dough, please) with hot fudge mixed in.

So...you like Boston.

I'm going to say:

The Macedonian Breakfast from Sabur in Sommerville (OMG! good. Try it, Dustin)
bread and oil from Bravo! along with their spinach and artichoke dip

Fresh pineapple, cherries, and honeydew melon

And I'm going to second that pitcher of Sangria from Dali.

I'm going to be drunk and bloated as all hell when I die.

Mmmm. General Tao's Tofu from the Shanghai Restaurant here in Ottawa, extra veggie spring rolls, served with a nice glass of an off-dry riesling (damn right this thing will be quasi-snobby... it's my last meal, bitches!). Then for dessert I need some insane combination of my mom's apple pie, gobs of chocolate and Cool Whip, topped with copious amounts of raspberries and strawberries and ice cream. And then maybe some kind of deliciously ironic fortune cookie. Tadaaah!

Fried chicken dinner with extra bowls of gravy for me to eat like soup. God I love gravy.

For dessert, a smorgasbord of cookies. They all have to be giant, squishy, and loaded with chunks of nuts, candy and/or chocolate.

I'll go with the sangria idea for my beverage. Yummy.

Sometimes I'm truly surprised that I don't weigh 300 pounds.

DINNER
Shrimp & Grits (from my favorite local restaurant)
NY strip - med.rare
Fried Chicken (possibly Popeye's)
sweet potatoes
sauteed green beans

plus anything that's southern cooking would be fine with me.

BEVERAGE
Diet Coke
Parenga sparkling shiraz
Chardonnay

DESSERT
cheesecake
banana pudding
something gooey and chocolate

Well, I'm a good southern girl, so...

Fried chicken and collard greens (nice and spicy), sweet potato casserole, homemade mac and cheese and spoon bread. KFC biscuits (the only decent thing coming out of KFC). Maybe some sharp cheddar cheeze grits and a huge slice of pecan pie to top it off. With Vanilla ice cream.

To drink? Lemonade. Bu the gallon.

Actually this sounds like the dinner I made for thanksgiving last year. Weird.

Well, since I'm going to Hell for making fun of retarded kids and being pro choice, let's kick this pig:

Appetizer: Boneless Buffallo strips from Karl Strauss Brewery

Main Course: Pernil (Puerto Rican dish: Seasoned, stewed pork) with white rice and beans, with a side of fried plantains (sweet).

Dessert: Brownie Sundae with Hot Fudge

Ohhhhh yeah, that seats gonna be messy when they throw that switch, baby.

And Dustin, kudos for the Steak-Umm reference. My fiance has no clue about the joy of Steak-Umm.

I would have the perfect blt on rye bread (bacon just right not soggy, not burned). Steak fries on the side seasoned with paprika and a mojito to drink. Dessert turtle cheesecake. Calories not being a problem would be fantastic.

Yay! Food post.

I would have to say an order of shumai and Godzilla, Spider & Alaskan rolls from my favorite Japanese restaurant; (which has since changed hands -- sob!) a bottle of champagne; (preferably something too expensive to have previously experienced) and for dessert, an array of artisan truffles from my favorite local cafe, Haute Chocolate. (check 'em: hautecafe.net)

Another Southern gal here ...
Fried chicken strips with a peppered white gravy (woo hoo - not having to worry about my heart clogging would almost make it worth .... nahhhh)
Cold spinach pie (yeah I'm Greek too)
Homemade mac n cheese

And for dessert ... brownies fresh out of the oven with chocolate ice cream and homemade fudge sauce

fried ravioli with marinara
greek salad
eggplant parmesan
garlic mashed potatoes
garlic bread- extra garlic
tiramisu
mint iced tea

Hmmm...ok, I would have to go with a shrimp & chicken stir fry from Stir Crazy, one of the best Thai restaurants in Chicago, IMO. That's probably enough for the first three courses, with all the veggies and amazing sauce they add in.

Beverage: A pitcher of strawberry/mango Daiquiris. Margaritas are good, but I prefer rum. If not booze, then Sprite or lemonade.

For dessert: I never eat dessert, but this is my last meal, after all, so mint chocolate chip ice cream from Coldstone Creamery, or Baskin Robbins, with marshmallows and hot fudge.

Because I'm a southern girl at heart, I will have: sweet tea, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. Peach cobbler and homemade vanilla ice cream. But then for fun, and I'll gorge since it is my last meal, add in some pinot grigio, brie cheese, baguette, and fresh strawberries.

It doesn't have to go together, it is my last meal.

I'd probably just have a bottle of La Fin du Monde beer. The food I'd ask for and probably wouldn't eat? Christmas breakfast at my parents' house:

A perfectly ripe d'Anjou pear
An omelette with cheese, onions, peppers and ham
KFC Biscuits with my mom's gravy
Fruit pizza (pastry from our favorite local bakery)

My mom makes Pecan-Crusted Chicken that's to die for, but it was the best the first time she made it and it's never quite lived up to that first time. If it could be duplicated just like that, that's my bar-none final meal choice. You've got the chicken with mashed potatoes (again, last meal, so lay on the heavy whipping cream instead of the lower-fat chicken broth in there). Then some of the pecans fall off and you mix it in with the potatoes. Dear God. So good. Also, a Caesar salad, with Girard's light Caesar dressing.

To drink, um, a well-paired wine would be nice. No preference on that one. Dessert, too, I don't tend to be picky about. Something with a brownie and vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce sounds nice right now.

Of course, part of me was tempted to just say a burger and fries from In-N-Out with a neopolitan shake.

Apparently it's cliche, but fried chicken all the way (maybe popeyes) mashed potatoes, gravy and an apple pie with caramel topping from my hometown restaurant.

Sadly, no matter how many five star restaurants I've been to around Boston, not one dish stood out as something I need to eat before I die.

The only food that comes to mind is a bacon cheeseburger from Wild Willy's in Watertown with a vanilla milkshake and fries. For dessert, a molten chocolate cake from Finale.

I am the product of a stay-at-home-mom (back when it was the norm--I'm not judging, just very lucky) so my last meal would consist of my mom's homemade chicken and dumplings (rolled not dropped), fresh-from-the-garden and fresh-from-the-cob creamed corn (made in an iron skillet) with fresh-from-the-garden lightly chilled sliced tomatoes. For dessert, I would like my sister's homemade bread pudding with Maker's Mark sauce. Yeah, festival of starches but hey, it IS my final meal.

Just a question for the Pajiba writers, especially those that live or have lived around Boston:

Do any of you know the writers at The Weekly Dig? Cause...I feel like you might get along.

My grandma's biscuits and gravy, my dad's spinach bread, a slice of Lou Melnotti's pizza, my brother's BBQ chicken, my friend Gina's mom's kimchee (with daikon radish, OMG), and a chocolate soufflé with raspberry chocolate sauce, finished off with a glass of Dogfishhead Raison d'etre beer.

Damn, termination sounds pretty fucking good right now...

APP:


Seared Foie Gras w/ Sauternes

Lobster Ceviche



MAIN:

- Barbecue Ribs, Brisket, and Hot Links from this BBQ shack right off I-45/I-75 in Dallas near my wife's old apartment

- Grilled Cheese Sandwich (Yellow American on Wonder Bread of course)

- Corn on the Cob

- Anything my mom used to make [ sniff :( ]

- Gallons of Thai Ice Tea

- Del's Frozen Lemonade (it's a Massachusetts thing)

DESSERT:

- Warm freshly baked brownie

- Banoffee Pie

That was great fun! I think I'd have a heart attack while the meal was progressing.

Fried okra from my grandmother's recipe for an appetizer,
She-crab soup from Charley's in Virginia Beach(although I hear they've gone downhill and am woeful over that),
Chicken marsala from the recipe in Jennifer Crusie's book Bet Me(Seriously the best chicken marsala recipe I've ever found),
garlic mashed potatoes,
a romaine, radicchio, and arugula salad with blue cheese and dried cranberries on top and O olive oil's Balsamic vinegar instead of dressing,
a pineapple-topped cheesecake cupcake from the upmarket grocery near my office,
Diet coke,
A glass of a really nice chardonnay.
I'd be pretty pissed about the impending death, but this sounds like a pretty excellent meal, even if the components really don't hang together at all.

Call me boring but for my last meal I would want a bacon cheeseburger and fries with a tall cool Bud Light to wash it down. For dessert, just some cookie dough ice cream.

Fun! OK, so: My mom's Poulet Roti aux Herbes de Provence (which is roast chicken and potato and herbs, but she's French, bitch) and my dad's cheese grits with Kelly sausage (made only in Elba, Alabama) and some collards with pepper sauce, followed by giant plate of French cheeses (Mimolette, chevre, St. Andre, oh god...)and a fresh baguette, then some hot beignets and cafe au lait from the Cafe du Monde, New Orleans. So, lots of traveling before I get fried!

Great, now I have to go to Whole Paycheck and the French Quarter on my day off. Damn you, Pajiba!

God, ya'll are making me hungry!
Yeah, I'm southern too and would have to go with a lot of what has already been mentioned, like homemade mac 'n cheese, spicy turnip greens, and biscuits,(tho not from KFC-I'll give 'em my own recipe) plus my Maw Maw's tomato gravy that I used to eat like soup. But I want me some already peeled boiled shrimp, a friggin barrell full! And after that, a big pan of blueberry cheesecake. And ditto on the Sangria.
I wish I didn't have to die to get that meal.

Can't decide. Do, however, know my last meal would have to contain kalamata olives, eggplant roasted to liquid softness, avocado with lime and chilis, and cheese cheese cheese cheese and cheese (samples from all over the world).

And a glass of antique Chateau Lafite.

And the most perfect Eccles cake ever baked.

A plate of Tacos Al Pastor from Matt's El Rancho (Austin, TX), with a pitcher of Mexican Martinis to make me pleasantly numb before the actual execution.

For dessert, my grandmother's berry cobbler, made from fresh dewberries, warmed and topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

My mom makes these awesome spare ribs from a recipe Julia Child gave out on Good Morning America in the late-70s. So those, a growler of Uncle Sam Oatmeal Stout from the Troy Pub and Brewery, a chihuahua from Crif Dog in NYC (a hot dog wrapped in bacon with sour cream and slices of avocado), and some Belgian fries from Pommes Frites with horseradish mayo. And for dessert, a Chipwich.

Giant burrito with carnitas (slow roasted pork - sweet Jesus above, it's tasty), pintos, sliced avocados (or really good guac), fiery hot salsa, and sour cream from any number of taquerias in the Mission in San Fran. I DREAM OF THEM.

To drink, I'll steal the above ideas - Sangria would taste GREAT with a burrito.

For dessert - dark chocolate flourless torte with a biting red raspberry sauce to cut the richness.

Then several shots of good whiskey and you can throw the switch.

3 dozen hot wings from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo NY, a basket of waffle fries, 4 wet naps, and 2 dozen heinekin lights.

My mother's spaghetti bolognese, forever and ever amen. As many servings as I can eat. Water will be fine to drink.

Wow, am I the only Canadian here? And the only veggie? :S Though you guys are making me miss my meat-eating days, hehe... some of that fried chicken stuff sounds gooood right now!

Baked ziti with four cheeses, garlic bread, and a glass of chianti.

Then for dessert, I would like one of those tiered silver trays filled with little napoleons, eclaires, lemon tarts, etc., and a big pot of coffee. I was born a pastry hound, and I'll die a pastry hound.

Great diversion! Total fantasy meal. This could not be eaten in one sitting but each part has been thoroughly enjoyed at different times.

Appetizers: Tapas from Guadalupe Cafe in Malaga, Spain. Served with Saumur "Champagne" from Loire Valley, France.

Fish Course: Lobster Victoria from The Raffles Hotel in Singapore. Served with Gewurtraminer from Alsace/Lorraine.

Pasta: Rissoto w/ White and Black Truffles from the Vincenzo in Rome, Italy. Served with an Autralian Shiraz.

Entree: Venison Chops from the Chateau de Pont in Rilly, France. Served with a 1997 Chateauneuf de Pape.

Vegetables: Zuchini Frito from The Four Seasons, New York.

Salad: Caprese Marisco from the Villa Convento in Sienna, Italy. Served with a 2004 Vouvray.

Cheese: Stilton w/ carmelized walnuts and assorted pears. Served with a Porto Riserva.

Dessert: My aunt's Rice Custard ("Natillas") served w/ Homemade Irish Cream.

Liquor: Hennesey VSOP.

Since we are going for fantasy here: I want it served to me by Chris Meloni in the Bahia Verdi on the top floor of the Carioca Hotel in Rio de Janeiro.

This is awful....and I'm in the middle of a mid-day snack run that I'm fighting against.

1)Let's see - filet mignon, medium rare and bananas foster from Brennen's in Orleans (I'm an Ohioan, I still dream about that meal!)

2)Big bowl of grits with real butter and sugar

3)Steak fries sprinkled with parmesan cheese, salt and dipped in ketchup

4)Order of pineapple fried rice with chicken, spice value 4 from Thai 9 (yummy, if you come to Dayton, you must try!) And yes, I know nobody wants to come to Dayton. LOL

5)Skyline chili dog

6)Jamocha almond fudge ice cream

7)Beverages - Coke, tons of it and two bottles of plum wine.

(This meal will be eaten in no particular order but is a culmination of my guilty pleasures and need to leave a horrible mess behind in the wake of my death.)

Being from Southern Indiana and not too picky I would say a good club sandwich and waffle fries would do me over. And a well chilled bottle of green apple soda.

To start: Chili cheese fries. The kind that are such a mess you have to eat them with a fork. Also some seared foie gras. (Not mixed together, though. Blecch.)

Entree: Filet mignon, medium rare. Garlic mashed red potatoes (with bits of the skins mashed in). Iceberg lettuce salad drowned in ranch dressing.

Dessert: A pint of Ben & Jerry's Creme Brulee ice cream.

Drink: Mango mojito from Orleans in Somerville.

Green salad with blue cheese dressing
Prime rib, rare
Baked potatoe with lots of butter and sour cream
Home grown tomatos, salt and peppered
Mom's coconut cream pie

fried green tomatoes,
then my grandmother's pepper steak and rice,
my mom's cherry cobbler
and a really good red wine.

I've actually said this as I've eaten the meal: "Gosh, this would be totally what I wanted if I had to die tomorrow". Geoffrey's (Boston) has since closed, but I would make the feds find that chef (I'm going to federal prison, no small potatoes state stuff). The meal:
Pepper-encrusted seared tuna steak on garlic-mashed potatoes on garlic-seared baby spinach. I want to stink and say I ate "baby" in my last meal (I can't be rehabilitated - off to the chair) with Cakebread chardonnay and assorted gin cocktails to drink. Maybe a godiva/vodka/bailey's concoction with dessert: a chocolate pudding cake with real vanilla bean ice cream and hot fudge. I will have so much alcohol that I will flambe.

And, before I die, samplings of the following: Dali goat cheese Tapas (can't get it out of my mind now, Dustin!) with the sangria, of course.
A serving of my mom's chicken a la king and 2 biscuits. Casa de Pedro's tequenos and their shredded beef which I think has crack in it (I went for lunch 6 times in two weeks after the first time I had it). If I had any more room left, my mom's vanilla-raspberry parfait and one of her whoopie pies. She makes awesome desserts, but the chicken a la king was my favorite meal as a kid.

When I gain 10 pounds this week, I blame pajiba!

I'm going to go with the hometown favorite all-the-way pizza from melting pot...no not the fondue place we actually have a pizza place named that. Also, since I'm going to be dead soon anyway I'd have to have a baked sweet potato with cinnamon butter!
Beverage-sweet tea and not that nasty nestea crap it must be real sweet tea...also available at the melting pot
dessert-another local restaurant does this thing called a chocolate chimichanga that is a hershey bar in a tortilla deep fried with ice cream on top...AMAZING

Dustin, your meal was really depressing. The word "microwave" should not be present... :)

Mine:

-- Twice baked potatoes with a ton of cheese and butter
--Cream of potato soup with wild rice with lots of bread and butter for dipping
-- Roasted Chicken with stuffing and corn.
-- Shrimp scampi with rice
-- Tortellini Carbonera
-- Cinnamon rolls and chocolate lava cake for dessert.

i would probably have a kafta kabob sandwich (from the exceptionally delicious Boston Shawarma in Boston), a Jones cream soda, and for dessert I'd probably have a cannoli from Mike's Pastry in the North End (can you feel the boston love here?)

In-n-out 3x3 Plain (Meat, Cheese, Bun)
Papa John's Pizza, Cheese
Liter of Dr. Pepper

I'd be a bloated corpse

All I have to say is that I've watched Top Chef since season one when no one was paying attention and I'm glad it has taken off.

I just got started with watching Hell's Kitchen and I must say that is has saved my monday nights.

My last meal with be fried chicken cooked by either Paula Dean or Emeril.

Hmm, ok, definitely a huge bowl of tom kha gai (from Thai food restaurant of your choice, it tastes pretty much the same everywhere) along with a plate of phad thai noodles, and some freshwater eel (I forget what that's called in sushi-language) A few Corona's to drink, and a pint of B&J's Dublin Mudslide for dessert.

I am so gonna blow my diet today ;)

20 wings from The Chicken or the Egg in LBI; 10 killer beesting, 10 teriyaki
a three pound lobster, broiled
cajun fries
slice of key lime pie
6 pack of Blue Moon

light me up, executioner man!

Venison steaks, pounded tender, dipped in flour and fried in butter. And a "hawaiian hamburger" (named by my father, no, he's not Hawaiian): venison burger mixed with worcheshtire sauce with a kraft single melted INSIDE.

Serve the meat with mashed potatos with corn mixed in.

Dessert: my mother's pumpkin pie (with the crisco crust--though I doubt my mother would make me a pie if I was on death row. . .) and Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream (served separately). I'm lactose intolerant as all hell, but I'm dieing so who cares if I get the shits!

MD 40/40
I'd rather not remember the sound of the switch flipping. Also, they'd have to drag me to the chair and prop me up in it, which would be hilarious.

*Cottage Inn Chicken Mediterranean pizza
*Some of that deep fried mac and cheese from Ralphie's
*An ENTIRE chocolate cake from the local Wixey's bakery, but with the white icing, or maybe German chocolate,inscribed with some witty phrase (because that's when you need cake, so sayeth Demetri Martin).

Appetizer: pecan crusted goat cheese with baguette
or coconut shrimp. or both.

Entree: lobster, lobster, lobster...with a side of crab legs...i loves me some seafood.

Dessert: crepes

Beverage: long island iced tea or root beer.

ok, my life is complete. all set.

Obviously, we are your bitches. At this stage, you can post anything up there and as long as it requires us to slack off work and make lists, we will oblige. I'm not complaining, just noting.
This may seem a tad pretentious but it's my last meal so I'll assume tracking down the items on this menu can delay them long enough to let me finish Black Swan Green (damn you Pajiba book list! I am totally hooked):

1) Chips (i.e., french fries) with curry sauce (but it has to be the curry sauce they serve at Antwerp train station which is the most amazing I have ever tasted)
2) Battered cod (I gave up eating cod a few years ago because of the over-fishing and I just crave it) lashed in salt and vinegar from Henry and Roses chippie in my home town in Ireland
3) Tayto's cheese and onion crisps
4)The lamb and cranberry pie from Tea and Sympathy in NYC
5) Sherry trifle, home made, swimming in sherry
6) Lots of unpasteurized farm-made cheeses, stinky, runny, full of flavour and an enthusiastic middle finger in the air to Kraft and the USDA!
To drink (if we're assuming the sherry is a food group), mojitos from The Columbian cuban restaurant in Long Boat Key.

Oh man...I shouldn't do this when I haven't food shopped in a week. I'm doing every course possible.

Appetizer: Tostadas topped with black bean spread, a slice of mango, and a drizzle of wasabi (from Blue Sage, the best vegetarian restaurant in the universe)

Salad: My mother's chicken ceasar...the dressing is so garlicky it could blind a man.

Entree: This is tough...I'd have to go with masamaun chicken curry from my favorite Thai place.

Cheese plate: Suck it bitches, I'm dying and I get a cheese plate. I want the one from Amada, a fantastic Philly tapas place, that had three cheeses with three different spreads (like chocolate hazelnut and garlic dulce de leche) and came with freshly cut baguette and green apple slices. Orgasm.

And dessert: My Aunt Tina's butter cake. It has so many calories that I'd probably die of a heart attack before they could electrocute me.

And I'd have a gallon of red sangria from my favorite place in the Village.

hmm...

the bread and oil from bravo! is amazing so i will have to have that. and lasagna with meat sauce. and since it is my last meal, i also want mashed potatoes. for desert i would have creme brule and i would wash it all down with peach snapple(my second favorite food!...i realize its not really food, but i just love it that much). now i am hungry

Damn, now that I've gone back and read everyones' entries, I want to change my entree to fried chicken with garlic mashed potatoes and gravy.

Sometimes I wish I was Southern, I can only imagine the amazing fried chicken I'm missing out on being in the Northeast.

More thai iced tea than any human should consume. Vietnamese bun salad with eggrolls and peanut sauce. Filet mignon, medium rare, with a side of remoulade. My dad's potato salad. Pate on crostini. Roast duck l'orange. Eggs benedict. Creme brulee. Bananas Foster. And an assortment of truffles.

This meal will last an entire day, dammit.

A carne seca chimichanga and a bowl (even though it's as big as your head and you never finish it) or that tasty tomato soup from El Charro in Tucson, AZ. Guacamole from Lerua's in Tucson. Homemade fresh mint ice cream for dessert.

Might be dead before they throw the switch...

I just had to say, Dustin, regarding Annie's Mac 'n' Cheese...

HELL YEAH!!!

An appetizer would be calamari, fried and filled with enough flavor to soothe my taste buds.
For the main course, I'd have a pizza pie loaded with cheese and is cooked to perfection, preferably by my father, who's pizza I adore.
For my drink, I'd have the perfect chilled Iced Tea with the right amount of sweetness.
For dessert, first I will have a fruit salad loaded with berries and mangoes and oranges. Then, as many Reese's Peanut Butter Cups as I can handle. To finish it off, I'll have a rich chocolate cake that is rich, tasty and just decadent.
Yes, this to me is the greatest Foodgasm of my life. And damnit, I will appreciate it.

Stouffers macaroni and cheese
Filet Oscar (Tenderloin, crab meat, hollandaise sauce)
cake batter ice cream from cold stone
Publix Sweet tea

WHITE CASTLE!!!

no joke. I'm sure a lot of people from Detroit would agree with me.

-Grape Leaves, Tabouleh, Lebanese Bread
-My Grandpa's sauce & capellini, just the way it was every Sunday of my childhood
-Pork Sandwich from David's Real Pit BBQ in Gainesville, Florida (with slaw, of course)
-Fish & Chips from Cricketers' Arms in Orlando
-My momma's Pistachio Cake
-Red Velvet cake with gads of cream cheese frosting
-Pumpkin Pie with loads of Redi Whip

Dang, I forgot the sweet tea. From McAlister's.

I LOVE Anna's, and Wild Willy's! I think for me personally it would be a toss up between the eggs benedict from Kellys (on broadway in Somerville, not the Roast Beef joint)with a huugggge glass of chocolate milk and a cup of coffee with extra english muffins.

or

A shitload of crab rangoons from Kowloon.

This is not going to get me home any sooner to have dinner. and i'm already so damn hungry. PLUS, my cooking is not where I wish it could be... sigh...

APPETIZER: peruvian ceviche. raw fish marinated/cooked in lime juice.

SALAD: greek salad with lots and lots of kalamata olives and crumbled aged feta cheese... and probably some grape leaves (even if i did have some for lunch today from rumi in dc...yummmm)

SOUP: Either tom yum soup or pariwella. seafood in some type of red tomato-oniony broth.

MAIN COURSE: back to seafood. probably paella. or pescado a lo macho with rice slices of ripe avocado. again, peruvian style. because peruvian food is soooo good. I also wouldn't mind some pad thai smothered in crushed peanuts.

DESSERT: rice pudding with coconut shavings and cinnamon. or a realllly thick, but milky, milkshake.

GOD. I'm so fucking hungry now.

Wow, as much as I love food, I'm having a hard time picking something. All I know is that my last meal would be accompanied by copious cocktails from the Town Talk Diner, especially the whiskey cocktail Ben makes for me: Maker's Mark, amaretto, cherry liquor, lemonade and something I can't remember. Yum.

Maybe a lovely steak, rare, with my lemony asparagus. And pie.

Appetizer:
Calamari - with lots of salt and lemon juice
a HUGE cheese platter, complete with olives, nuts, crackers & seasonal fruit
a hearty bowl of clam chowder
my bf's AMAZING Ceasar Salad (So much garlic it's spicy - SO GOOD)
Veggie Samosa

Seafood:
Butter cream crab from my fav chinese restaurant
Salmon nigiri
Basil steamed halibut
my bf's garlic & dill stuffed whitefish (must be fresh)

god i'm hungry....

I'm pregnant now, so for extra-special fun I'm just going to list what I feel like eating tonight.

- Tuna melt sandwich with cheddar cheese on English muffin.
-3 kosher dill pickles
-2 fried eggs with lots of salt and butter
-Cold shrimp
-Linguini carbonara with asparagus instead of pancetta
-some goddamn lox on a bagel, fuck this listeriosis bullshit
-an undetermined amount of chocolate
-bread pudding
If I ate that tonight I could die happy. To drink I'd adore a gin and tonic, my favorite DC summer drink. It's going to be a long hot summer with nothing flavorful to quench my thirst but lemonade and my attempts at a virgin mojito.

Appetizer: Stuffed grape leaves (dolmas) with a lemony yogurt dipping sauce and a bag of Tostitos tortilla chips with the "hint of lime". I love those fuckers.

Salad: A Caesar salad. A REAL Caesar, with a fresh raw egg and everything.

Dinner: An entire pan of spanakopita. With extra feta and phyllo. Then a side of fresh homemade pasta in a four cheese (fontina, parmesan, gorgonzola and mozzarella) cheese sauce). Screw Dr. Atkins.

Dessert: One whole huckleberry pie.

To drink throughout the meal: One bottle of pinot noir and several mojitos. And a couple glasses of milk with the pie.

As for Top Chef, I predict that Howie's packing his knives on this week's show.

first off, I've got Celiacs disease, so that will bear on my choice foodstuffs:

Stuffed-crust pizze:bacon(real american, not that ham they use in canada), hamburger, cheddar and mozz cheese. Bread sticks and garlic olive-oil on the side.

Guinness, followed by a Sailor Jerry Rum and Coke.

Key Lime Pie!

Since calories obviously don't count as you're marching to your death, I'd start with steamed pork buns and Carl crunchies (light salt flavor - sooo good) and some cream breads.

For the main part of the meal, I'd go for my mom's Swedish meatballs and rice with corn on the cob, served alongside a vegan roll and a serving of tako karaage from Sushi Eye.

As for dessert, I'd want a deep fried Snickers bar, some of mom's Watergate salad, various mochi, green tea tempura ice cream from Sushi Eye (it's served with fried tempura battered strawberries and banana pieces - insanely delicious), Ben & Jerry's Wavy Gravy - discontinued,m but I'd make them make me a batch, and finally, black sesame and strawberry Pocky.

Obviously, I'm being executed for the grievous sin of gluttony...

green tea tempura ice cream from Sushi Eye (it's served with fried tempura battered strawberries and banana pieces - insanely delicious)

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

swoon

Forgot to add that I'd be washing this all down with gallons of ice cold birch beer - the clear stuff from Stop N' Shop that my grandma always got for us, not that bizzare caramel colored crap that you find west of the Mississippi.

The Cox:

Just FYI, bacon means bacon in Canada, too.

What USians call Canadian bacon is called back bacon or peameal bacon up here. That fleshy hammy stuff you speak of is not nearly as common or popular in these parts as long thin strippy streaky crispy qua normal bacon.

The good news--you can get your last meal here, too, if you commit a capital crime north of the border and are about to be put to death by the state...oh no--wait! never mind. :)

Cous Cous mixed with cucumbers and tomato, and a fine balsamic and a little olive oil.
Fresh buffalo mozzarella, a little pepper, baslamic and salt.
2 slices of applewood smoked bacon with one over medium egg and rye toast for desert.

Oh yum!!!

Appetizer: fresh salsa...lots of cilantro...fresh made nacho chips

Main: chicken fajitas with a side of lobster and BBQ ribs

Drink: ice cold Coor's Light (canadian version as american is v. watered down) and a diet coke (not for the diet reason as almost dead - can't take the sugar in reg. coke anymore)

Dessert: fudge brownie sundae extra chocolate sauce, cheesecake w/ rasp sauce as an encore...

Appetizer:
Eddamame
Shrimp Tempura Roll
Spider Roll, no avocado

Soup: Lobster Bisque

Salad: Feast From the East Chinese Chicken Salad

Main Course: Mom's Thanksgiving Dressing with Giblet Gravy, Sisters Mac & Cheese, My Sweet Potato Soufflee

Dessert: Strawberry Shortcake

I think I gained 5 pounds just thinking about all that food!

"Because I'm a southern girl at heart, I will have: sweet tea, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy. Peach cobbler and homemade vanilla ice cream."

This (props to libraryliz), with the addition of collards (with ham hocks) and biscuits.

My last dinner, and because I can have unlimited amounts of whatever I want, I'm having....

Starter: Dolmades with garlicky tzatziki, paneer mekhani (Indian cottage cheese in a tomato butter) and butter naan from Haweli in Edmonton. A plate of har gau (shrimp dumplings).

Entrée: Medium roast beef, mashed potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, GRAVY, steamed broccoli with Canadian cheddar cheese sauce, perfectly grilled New York strip steak with a big bowl of white rice with Japanese Village's creamy sesame sauce, kai-lan stirfried with garlic and soy sauce, grilled zucchini with parmesan cheese.

Dessert: A GINORMOUS "Oh my God, Caramel" Brownie with vanilla icecream. A strawberry icecream cone. A big slice of my mother's Tin Roof Pie.

Drinks: Red sangria with red grapes and nectarines, Lifeboat tea with skim milk, strawberry lemonade from Red Robin.

And after that, they wouldn't need to execute me, since I'd have exploded!!! Plus they couldn't really anyways, since I live in Canada, and I'd only have gotten Life for whatever I'd done.

King crab legs

Nigiri sashimi
Spicy tuna and dragon rolls

Stir fry with pasta and tofu

A gallon of Bojangles sweet tea (I'm from NC)

and.......a pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked

OMG pinkcheese! I thought my mom was the only one who made watergate salad. The easiest "salad" to make in the whole world.

Appetizer: grilled shrimp with bacon, garlic and lots of butter

Main Course: BBQ (Montgomery Inn, Cincinnati), Hash Browns with Bacon and Cheese (Waffle House), and a side of a hand-tossed ham and bacon pizza with extra cheese, light on the sauce (Leaning Tower of Pizza, San Diego)

bread: Italian (Dudley's, Santa Ysabel), corn muffins (Calhoun's, Knoxville), biscuits from Bob Evans and Red Lobster

Dessert: my Mom's Bread Pudding and a turtle sundae with extra pecans and sauces, hold the cherry (Michael's Custard, Madison, WI)

Beverage: Canned Pepsi, ice cold and fully loaded with sugar and caffeine

NOTES: Couldn't come up with anyplace to add a serving of Cashew Chicken from Royal's, Japan

I'm seriously into bacon and cheese...

Holy shit, am I really the only Marylander in here? Really?!? Fine, here goes:

Appetizer: Minature (blue) crab cakes (must be made by someone from Maryland, it's not the same in any other state) served with plenty of lemon slices and tartar sauce

First course: Steamed whole blue crabs absolutely CAKED in old bay seasoning with a side of watermelon and fresh corn on the cob.

Second course: Crab imperial with a whole loaf of french bread to eat it on. And maybe a salad on the side, salad is completely optional but preferred.

Drink: Long Island iced teas or a good summer beer, nothing else drinks with blue crab, especially not steamed ones

Dessert: Chocolate cake with a giant scoop of real vanilla ice cream and a milkshake from the home made ice cream place near where I live.

Bonus is that it would take me a couple HOURS to take down that meal (crab is heavy, y'all). I'm going out drunk and spicy.

y'all are making me hungry.
I'd have pasty (mmmmmmm steak and potato pie....), roasted red peppers with mozzarella on fresh bread, chinese dumplings, a whole pot of coffee liberally spiked with whiskey to drink, and tiramisu with strawberries and cognac to finish it off.

Let my island native ass weigh in on this extremely important last-foodstuffs-ever poll right quick:

*plate lunch from the Diner on O'ahu with kahlua pig, pork lau lau, spareribs and chicken katsu. No rice, double macaroni salad.

*saimen from one of the many, many, noodle houses in Waipahu/Aiea, preferably with fish cake, hot peppers and a few won tons.

*fried SPAM with eggs over rice and lots of soyu. you mainlanders have no idea what you're missing, i tell you!

*haupia (firm coconut pudding) and chocolate dobash cake

And, to wash that all down, a six pack of Woodchuck's dark and dry apple cider.

I'm ready. It's on!

almost forgot - deep fired artichoke hearts with ranch dressing as an appetizer. lots and lots of ranch dressing.

I'd have to have some spinach artichoke dip. Not served damned corn chips either. I like pita chips.

Since it's my last meal, I won't be cooking. Therefore, some of my favorite foods won't be allowed because I can't trust others to make them correctly. That makes things tough.

I need some garlic/parmesan mashed potatoes, shrimp cocktail, broccoli cheese casserole, and fried apples. I know these don't really go together, but I'm never one to care.

Some pinot grigio to drink.

Some sort of Oreo Pie or White Cupcakes with White Icing (it's a comfort food from childhood).

Damn, I'm so hungry now.

I'm from Trinidad so I was torn between sushi and Trini food but finally made a decision to eat as I have lived...

Breakfast - 5 or 6 doubles (chick peas in a gooey curry sauce in between 2 fried dough flaps that has since softened) with mango, cucumber and slight pepper. With an Apple J

Lunch - Shark and bake from Richard's on Maracas Beach. This is fried shark fillets sandwiched between fried dough (crispy). Topped with pepper, chadon beni sauce (cilantro), garlic sauce, mango, cucumber and the thousand island dressing thingie. With a Sorrel Shandy.

Dinner - Trinidad stew chicken cooked dark and soft, with the perfect macaroni pie (cheesy and gooey), tons of gravy, fried plantain, coleslaw, red beans, and a bowl of the most perfect callalloo ever (soup made out of what is essentially spinach). Lots of pepper sauce at my disposal.



Dessert - My aunt's cheesecake for old times sake, and a great molten chocolate cake.



Drinks - Just feed me beer. Give me Carib from Trinidad, every type of Abita from New Orleans, and all the flavoured Sea Dogs. Keep it flowing fast and furious.

My grandmother's hot chicken salad and her lard rolls (yep, LARD rolls) with lots and lots of butter. My mom's homemade mac and cheese. And hot peach cobbler (my recipe) with vanilla ice cream. And a big old frozen margarita with lots of salt.

My grandmother's hot chicken salad and her lard rolls (yep, LARD rolls) with lots and lots of butter. My mom's homemade mac and cheese. And hot peach cobbler (my recipe) with vanilla ice cream. And a big old frozen margarita with lots of salt.

a nice big medium rare steak...

baked potato, salad with bleu cheese...

and a cool pint of Guinness!

Mashed Potatoes, made with tons of cream and butter

My great-grandmother's sicilian meat dressing, made with Morningstar Farms veggie crumble instead of ground beef.

Homemade cranberry sauce with ginger

Asparagus sauteed with butter and herbes de provence

Portabello mushrooms sauteed in thai peanut sauce

Cambridge Brewing Company's Heather Ale, Seadog Blueberry Ale, or a Black Forest (Guinness and Lideman's Framboise Lambic)

And for dessert, JP Licks' El Diablo ice cream (chocolate with cinnamon and cayenne pepper) or Herrell's Twinkie ice cream. Or maybe a Fudge-Anna from Cabot's (vanilla ice cream, mellow ripe banana wheels, the best hot fudge ever made, and marshmallow sauce. Mmmmmm.). Maybe all three?

Ok, now I have to go make dinner.

katy - Watergate is the *only* "salad" that should be allowed on diet plans, IMHO! ;-)

fried chicken
steak
broccoli
eggplant parmigiana
tiramisu
Oh, and a mess of White Russians.

Manny said: "Well, since I'm going to Hell for making fun of retarded kids and being pro choice, let's kick this pig:"

See you there, Manny. I have seats in that section, too.

We'll start with vegetable samosas straight from the street vendors. Nothing from a fancy restaurant, I want the deep-fried, wonderful ones you only get from some hole-in-the-wall place.

Then I want a baked apple stuffed with brie.

I want the chicken and avocado soup from Frontera Tex-Mex.

And I'll have a whole grilled Vidalia onion, as well.

Homemade strawberry shortcake for dessert.

I'll wash it down with the mojitos they make at Cheesecake Factory, and a bottle of Mirassou Chardonnay.

We'll open with duck spring rolls and a buffalo burrito (pricey special appetizers I've had here in NYC), accompanied by a Brooklyn Pilsner
Potato leek soup
Some lemon ice and some chilled vodka as a palette cleanser
A thiiiiiiick cut veal chop, spicy sweat potato fries, braised red cabbage and some form of green, served with copious amounts of Stone Imperial Russian Stout, Smoked Porter & Double Bastard Ale
Large piece of goooooey chocolate babka, fruit sorbet (assorted flavors) and a bottle of Old No. 7 Brand, Jack Daniels

Strap me in pickled and light up the sky

I can't believe I missed most of this diversion. I'll just say that since it's incredibly hard to choose between my favorite Italian, favorite seafood, and favorite steak restaurants, I'll just go with

1. as many Skyline Chili Dogs as I can eat (the real thing, with the mustard put on with a wooden stick)

2. Kopparberg pear cider and frozen vodka shots (two of the best things about Finland),

3.a raspberry-almond tart from The Ravioli Shop in Rochester, NY, and

4. my mother's tapioca pudding.

My mother's meatloaf (it's to die for), a mountain of red mashed potatoes heavy on butter and gravy, black olives, deviled eggs, a foot-long mango margarita from La Salsa in Las Vegas(if I'm dying, I'm dying buzzed), a Love It ColdStone Coffee Lover's ice cream with extra heath bar, an espresso martini, and an entire package of TimTams.

It's the one time in my life I don't have to worry about calories, so I'm going all out. I'm gonna sizzle in that chair!

I'm going with the Holy Trinity of delicious cuisine: Greek/Middle Eastern, Indian...and, well, chocolate is the third. Because I'm a woman.

For the meze (appetizer):

*kalamata olives and pita bread with hoummus, sweet potato skordalia, and my favorite dip from Iran--yoghurt with cucumber and sultanas
*Aush (Aghan soup)

Main course:

*Chana Masala (chick peas), madras lentils, and vegetable curry on a steaming bed of fluffy brown basmati rice
*garlic naan (extra garlic! fuck, i want an entire head roasted, and then i'll breathe in my executioner's face)

Dessert:

*mint chocolate chip ice cream with hot fudge
*a whole bar of the darkest chocolate imaginable

Beverages:

*Maneschewitz wine, concord grape (none of that blackberry crap!)
*fruit smoothie from Jamba Juice or Robeks, preferably passion fruit or pomegranate

Oh, and I almost forgot, for before the meal:

*Four grams of marijuana

Australian minced beef pies, gratin dauphinois, English trifle and two bottles of champagne, and to dine with my husband.

Maylai: Hey! I KNEW a fellow native had to post their last meal. I'm not a huge fan of Hawaiian food but I still like it from time to time. I'm also gonna make a nice combo of sugary items since I'm a diabetic.

App:
Garlic naan, extra garlic
Grilled bread w/ olive oil/balsamic vinegar, risotto balls from North Bondi Italian Food.
Pita w/ hummus and tzatziki
Dolmadakia (stuffed grape leaves)

Main:
Kalua pig, NO CABBAGE.
Gnocchi from Town.
pumpkin soup from The Soup Kitchen in Auckland
Handmade pasta with garlic and oil and TONS of parmesan

Drink:
Iced tea with real sugar, real coke (no more diet for me, I'll have a diabetic seizure before I actually die) and a huge margarita

Dessert:
kulolo (thick taro pudding). I could eat that stuff all day. and a bowl of poi WITH sugar, thanks.
Ice cream, and more ice cream. cookie dough or plain chocolate.
French toast w/ loooots of maple syrup, vanilla ice cream and strawberries.
Crepes filled with Nutella, with more ice cream
Chocolate-Hazelnut gelato from that place next to the Sydney Opera House.

And I'll have died before they nuked my brains out. Ta da!

My Mum's roast chicken with honey roasted pumpking, potato, sweet potato and parsnip. Plus carrots and grean beans.

Followed by a massive helping of chocolate and hazelnut browning with enough chocolate sauce to drown in.

Accompanied by a bottle of Fifth Leg Merlot and maybe some cheese biscuits if I have time.

Now that's a good way to go.

Okay, I'll bite (so to speak...)

What's "Watergate" salad?

Never heard of that one.

Where's all the Chicagoans? No love for real hot dogs?

Make mine Portillo's. Let's live (okay, die) extravagantly and throw in a Maxwell Street Polish (Sausage) as well. Some mac 'n cheese (don't mix the cheese powder in too good, keep it powdery and 'I gotta eat in the next 2 minutes!' style).

To hell with the fruits and vegetables (here you go, Manny, you can have mine!). 6-12 KFC biscuits.

A gallon or so of el cheapo. Anyone spending more than $8 on a jug of whatever-flavor-of-Rossi-is-on-sale-this-week is getting ripped off....

Throw in some chocolate cake, ice cream of some sort (by the time I'm seeing the bottom of the first jug, I ain't gonna CARE where the sweets came from).

Hit the switch and it's all gonna be Baked Alaska Flambe.

Doner Kebap sandwich with cheese. The kind you can buy in any tiny little shop all over Europe. With extra red sauce.

One carnitas taco. No tomato, thanks.

Steamed broccoli with a little bit of sharp cheddar and plenty of salt.

Some form of potato. Other than hating scalloped potatoes, I'm really not picky here. Bravas would be nice, so would curly fries. Yum.

Fresh pineapple and peaches.

Brazilian cheese cake with dulce de leche from this little shop in town. Jesus.

Sangria and Manzanilla (the wine, not the tea). Manzanilla invariably makes me sing, and I want to go out singing.

mmmm....so hungry now!
My dinner would be: Perfect cut of steak, very rare with demiglasse on it. Asparagus and baby potatos. Appetizer would be she crab soup. (btw Rachel try the she crab at Keegans: believe it or not it's FANTASTIC!)
Bread with truffle butter. YUM!
Desert would be my moms homemade chocolate mearangue pie. Home made pudding that is the most rocking in the world!!!!
As for drinks - half and halfs. Guiness and Harp and keep em coming. They would def. have to use a wheelbarrow or something to get me to the chair!!!

ughh, I was so excited to see a food post and I love me some Gordon Ramsey. Unfortunately, I am about 3 months pregnant and I almost got sick just reading these... :( Too many KFC and gravy references for me to handle I am afraid. I guess I will eat saltines or bread and butter...
The me from 6months ago would have had a many coursed smorg full of cheeses and garlicky, crispy goodness with lots of wine and finished with espresso and creme brulee...

Well, being from Australia, I'd have to go for a giant slab of dead cow, probably. Medium rare Hell, make it a surf and turf so chuck prawns on top and cover it in creamy garlic sauce. Served with chips (none of this 'fries' business) and...well, to be multicultural, a huge plate of wilted bok-choy with garlic...mmm...

Dessert? something involving lots of chocolate and cream...and maybe raspberries.

Beverage: Seeing as it's steak I guess a nice Barossa Shiraz...the expensive stuff...or just loads of coke.

Let's see.... roasted leg of lamb with rosemary and garlic (natch) served with seriously fluffy-on-the-inside-crunchy-good-on-the-outside roast potatoes, shredded savoy cabbage cooked with a whole load of butter, some lightly fried spinach and Yorkshire puddings cooked in so much oil they're practically deep fried.

All served with lashings of thick and rich red wine gravy.

If I'm allowed additional courses: Peking steamed dumplings to start and hot apple crumble with vanilla icecream for desert.

Oh and to drink some seriously nice French red. Or a glass of fresh peach juice the way they make it in one particular jungle cafe in Bolivia - seriously I've never tasted anything like it.

Actually screw last meal - I'm having that tonight.

Oh man. Can i just say i live for my evening meals. There's nothing like the comfort of good food when you're hungry, feel like it or just damn near want to eat something.

Meal- Steak (well done by Angus steakhouse or Harvester) with them fat, a little bit oily chips with salad in vinegar dressing with big fat juicy prawns. Man...I'm drolling at my desk.

Dessert- Haagen Das Bailey Ice Cream. I know I won't be allowed alchohol so I'll damn near go drank on ice cream.

Mate i've got three hours to go before lunch...

There's a pub here on the Kent coast - a proper British old-school pub, a dying breed - that does the greatest cheeseburger and chips on the planet, so I'll have that. With a side order of scampi.

Tiramisu for desert.

This is crazy, my partner just asked me this like two days ago. This is what I told her;
Indian buffet/chicago's deep dish pizza with chocolate,oatmeal,raisin,peanut butter cookies and to drink I would have shots of tequila and a couple of glasses of merlot.

Turtle Soup with sherry from Brennan's

A slice of French Fry pizza with Tabasco from Chatham Pizza in New Jersey

Crab and Garlic Noodles from Thanh Long in San Francisco

Peking Duck with sweet garlic sauce from Peking Gourmet in Falls Church, VA

Cold steamed peas

Extra buttered filet and creamed spinach from Ruth's Chris

Bourbon Mint Iced Tea

Haagen Dazs Vanilla with rose petal syrup and french fries

Brie with a fresh baguette, a pear, and a bottle of Burgundy

A small Cuban cigar

bjs1109 - Watergate salad (at least the way my mom makes it) has mixed fruit cocktail (no cherries), miniature marshmallows, loads of whipped cream, and I think pistashio pudding mix and mixed together. I'm not to clear on it, since I've never made it myself, but it's the ultimate summer picnic dessert of my childhood.

"Where's all the Chicagoans? No love for real hot dogs?"

Hee! I'm more of a Lou Malnati's pizza person myself.

I can't even come up with anything for this, as I am a huge food freak and could not imagine narrowing my choices down to 3 things, but I will say it would involve pizza and pretty much any kind of Italian food, all the damn sushi I could stuff into my mouth, disgusting amounts of Steak n Shake, and mountains of chocolate. Oh, and Newcastle beer, too. And Orangina! Ohhh, and cookies.

Shutting up now.

I'm awfully surprised at all of the respondees that can actually pick a meal. Here's the thing: just like what I wear everyday, the meals I choose are planned according to what I'm in the mood for. Therefore, I really couldn't choose an all-time last meal menu, because when the time comes- who knows? I'd probably have a sudden urge for cheap greasy pizza, instead of the filet mignon that I would have originally guessed. It is entirely, and extremely subjective to mood. Am I seriously the only one like that...?!

Oh, with Gordon at the top, I am going to have to say a repeat of the best meal I had in my life- at Claridge's with Gordon in the kitchen! Broadbean risotto, Beef Wellington, Apple torte with cinnamon ice cream. Plus about a million baby courses in between.

LOVE YOU GORDON! NO ONE COOKS LIKE YOU! XO

I'm late on this, but I had to respond to this one. I'm not picky about specifics... more like an omikase prepared by my favorite chefs and using my favorite ingredients:

amuse: roasted dates wrapped in bacon, maybe marinated in vanilla and blood orange?
App: containing fois gras and prepared by Chef Wylie Dufresne
Entree: Kobe beef, rare-medium rare, prepared by Chef Tom Colicchio
Dessert: prepared by Gordon Ramsey

and...
a glass of aged single malt scotch, neat.

that'll do just fine, I think.

To start:
- Crab Rangoons from Sahla Thai in St. Catharines ON (if nothing else was possible, I'd just eat these continuously)
- 4-cheese spinach dip from Kelseys
- shrimp cocktail

Then:
A huge BBQ with everything it entails- homemade cheeseburgers, grilled chicken, steak, potato salad, buttery corn on the cob, and more potato salad. Intersperse all those items with Sour Cream & Onion Pringles with Helluva Good French Onion Dip.

Dessert:
-Chocolate Caramel Cheesecake
-a pint of Ben & Jerry's Half Baked

Snack (what? you have a problem with that?)
-Pizza & Wings -covered in blue cheese dressing

To drink:
- alternating between Diet Coke with Lime, strawberry daquaris from The Flying Saucer in Niagara Falls and old style Loganberry juice from the Crystal Beach amusement park

Yup. That oughta do it.

Hahahaha, k, you did NOT just pick something from the Saucer! I'm from the Falls myself... since when do they serve anything other than the 99-cent breakfast?! ;)

An omakase dinner from Masa. A bottle of vintage Krug Rose for an aperitif, then a bottle of Petrus with the meal. Finish with a bowl of ice-cold sour cherries, blueberries and nectarines. And yes, whomever decides to execute me will go broke first.

An In & Out Double-Double with Cheese -- oh yeah, and my wife.

roasted beet and goat cheese terrine, chicken burrito from Agua Linda (Athens, GA), my mom's spaghetti and meatballs, flourless chocolate cake, George Dickel whiskey and Blennheim ginger ale with lemon, and a 6-pack of Terrapin Rye Ale.

"An In & Out Double-Double with Cheese -- oh yeah, and my wife."

I have no Pajiba authority (obviously), but I think this comment wins. Hands down.

And as for someone who said that the food you eat depends on your mood--I'm the same way, but I could almost never turn down Italian food and chocolate. Or ice cream. Or dragon rolls. Mmmmm.

Stephanie! Does this really exist(?): A slice of French Fry pizza with Tabasco from Chatham Pizza in New Jersey. Seriously? Are the fries the topping or the crust, or both?

And I thought a deep-fried Twinkie was the ultimate catalytic agent for sending me into a diabetic coma. The only possible way to top that gastronomic fea[s]t would be to create a corndog pizza. We'll probably see that next year at the Texas State Fair!

and I am the very happy wife of Chez...

thank you, baby. :)

Yet another Southern girl here! I'm pretty sure I could never actually eat all this, but my meal would go as follows:

Fried chicken
Salt & pepper catfish
cornbread AND biscuits
Mashed potatoes and gravy
Collards
Cabbage and bacon
Apple pie w/ vanilla ice cream
Sweet tea and lemonade to drink

That's it, I'm ready for the chair!

Oh boy, I have no idea what I would really decide, but it's summer, so for now let's go with lots of grilled stuff:

appetizer: grilled asparagus drizzled lightly with olive oil, salt and freshly ground pepper and
grilled corn on the cob slathered with butter

main course: grilled four cheese pizza: mozzarella, asiago and parmesan cheeses along with a little bit of a good quality bleu cheese and some roasted red peppers or sundried tomatoes on top. (if you've never had grilled pizza, you should. it's fabulously delicious)
The big decision here is whether I would stick to my vegetarianess or since it's my last meal, go out with some bbq chicken...too close to call, for now let's just stick with the pizza and some homemade Mac n' Cheese

beverage: a quality ginger brew like Reed's

Dessert: French Toast from Victory's Banner and a slice of lemon meringue pie (or peach cobbler? I can't decide!)

A greco donair with no onions and extra sauce. Mint fudge chip Baxter ice cream.

Failing that, a big plate of traditional roast beef and yorkshire pudding, followed by a bowl of hot apple crisp and ice milk.

Shit, guys.

There's so many things I'd love to fucking eat, but I don't think I'd be able to hold anything down.

Most of that food sounds amazing, though.

I would eat a newborn baby. A plump one with dimples.

Mmmm. Baby with BBQ sauce.

That's easy, I've always had just one favorite meal. Willow's chicken pot pie with no vegetables, white rice(covered in the pie sauce), egg noodles(also covered in the pie sauce), a baked potato with cheese and bacon bits, and corn bread. And I wash it down with a big glass of milk. And for desert it would have to be a big bowl of my favorite ice cream, Batter Up from Newport Creamery: peanut butter ice cream with caramel swirls and chocolate covered peanuts.

A thick, juicy cut of steak, cooked medium-rare, with a side of A1 (fuck it, last meal, etc.). Roasted red potatoes. Giant Cobb salad (no avocado, no egg) with extra bleu cheese. Big glass of Coke with lots of ice. For dessert: Stroh's mint chocolate chip ice cream in a waffle cone. Alternately, Purple Haze bong rips.

"Oh, and I almost forgot:

*For before the meal, 4 grams of marijuana."

Outstanding, Diana! I had a very similar thought. Sort of like an amuse bouche, no? You also may have come up with the solution for all these posters who claim they're going to explode before they ever reach the chair - smoke four grams of weed and not only will you actually be able to eat all that food, you'll never notice when your stomach implodes.

My last meal (mostly mom-prepared dishes):

Mom's caesar salad - with raw egg, huge shards of salty Romano cheese and lots of cracked black pepper.

Mom's spaghetti amatriciana - a light, salty/sweet tomato-based sauce with sauteed onions and hunks of bacon.

A medium-rare slab of prime rib with garlic mashed potatoes, fried onion bits and sauteed spinach.

My mom's apple pie - super flaky salty and sweet crust with real sliced apples, none of that canned pie filling crap.

All of that then washed down with one or two (or seven) Kir Royales. Deelish!

This is really hard! I didn't realize how much food I enjoyed in this capacity. But since I'm hungry I'm going with what makes my mouth water now.

A chicken pot pie with only white gristle-free meat. A big salad covered with white meat chicken tenders, cheese, tomatoes, Ranch dressing, avocado and burnt bacon. French bread smothered in chilled butter. Iced tea. And an apple crisp covered in caramel and vanilla ice cream.

Yep. That sounds perfect.

I have no idea where this combination of food came from, but it's been my favorite for as long as I can remember. Try it, you might like it!
Barbequed Pork Chops (like 1 1/2" thick)
Mashed Potatoes
Creamed Corm (must be homemade - not from a can), served ON TOP of the potatoes
Mojitos abondonza for drinks
Graeters Buckeye Blitz ice cream (chocolate ice cream with peanut butter cookie dough and chocolate chunks. Graeters is a local Cincinnati brand, with more butterfat than you should eat in an entire year) with hot fudge sauce.

Oh man, the only thing I like more than eating is thinking about and salivating over food.

To begin: Tostadas with jamon Serrano and manchego cheese; queso fresco and lox; sweet brie and quince paste. Add some shrimp ceviche and I could die a happy woman.

And then, in rapid and delicious succession: spinach lightly sautéed with lots and lots of garlic, tender juicy stewed beef with a tomato/cumin/garlic/etc., and a proper caesar salad with big shavings of parmesan and anchovies.

For dessert: The molten chocolate soufflé with coffee ice cream from The Farm in Portland. My old housemate Kayu's homemade scones with blackberry jam. And, since I'm already a dead woman, cheese cake with fresh strawberries.

To drink: Rioja red wine, seltzer with limes and cucumbers in it, and stumptown coffee with dessert.

Good lord, I'm hungry. And since this is cyber fantasy land and none of yall southerners can come after me with torch and pitchfork, I'd like to add that I think both biscuits and gravy (and _especially_ biscuits WITH gravy) are freakish and disgusting and should be banned as toxic. Just saying.

Fresh pineapple, watermelon, oranges
My Mother's egg fried rice
A side of mashed potatoes
Sauteed spinach with garlic
Cream of broccoli soup
Caprese Salad
Fresh brioche and provolone
Chocolate Pudding

MmmMMmm.
I think I need to take a trip to the kitchen right now.

- S

I judge your lack of inspiration...
Behold my judgement!
Have a baby already and lose your cool, or is this what has already happened?!

I would just want pretty much everything on the Desert menu from Enoteca Cucina here in Adelaide, Australia (we have a nice little le Cordon Bleu school here and we have more restaurants per capita than any other city in the world!)

My last desert there consisted of lavender pannacotta with a shortbread and oven roasted rhubarb and a raspberry sauce.

For a main - pretty much any fresh SA seafood dish from Sammys on the Marina. Or if I'm feeling like a pasta then entree serve of of Spirali Mondiali (chicken in a special rosa sauce) from Cafe Mondiali. I have known only one person to actually eat a whole main serve of pasta from Mondi's as they are huge.

Arby's Beef 'n Cheddar, Taco Bell 7-Layer Burrito, cheesecake, repeat until comatose.
If lubrication is needed, Dr. Pepper or Hi-C Pink Lemonade.

If I need a few last brownie points, I would also want my mother in law's Burnt, Sandy Artichoke hearts that are so wooden, that most people abandon all hope after but a petal.

HEAPING plate of schnitzel from figlmuller restaurant in vienna

sashimi and rice bowl

iced chai lattes, shirley temples, diet coke and vodka

a parfait with cake, chocolate pudding, frosting, whipped cream and choco pieces--topped w/gummi worms. haribo only

like lil bucket parfait, but much decadenter

i will vomit as i die

Oh, where to start...

Salad. Mixed greens/spring mix with lots whole leaf spinach. Sesame ginger dressing and an Alaskan Salmon fillet shredded in. Top it off with a glass (or two) of Chenin Blanc.

Main course, would have several parts. It's my last meal... so no holding back.

Steak, a Rib eye or New York strip, cooked medium, pink but warm, peppery seasoning, but not so much to take away from the flavor of the steak. No sauce.

Grilled shrimp, maybe lemon pepper. No breading. On skewers.

Grilled chicken, again some spice, but not so much to take away from the natural flavor. Maybe a good glaze, orange spice, teriyaki, or other Asian type flavor.

Vegetable medley, broccoli, squash, zucchini, cauliflower, carrots, etc. Mix it up with some long grain rice, or whole grain pasta, rottini would work. Maybe both, who's counting carbs at this point.

I've been drinking, so my mind is cluttered a bit, but to drink, a solid beer, like a Sam Adams or Fat Tire, but better microbrew I can think of later. Several of them. Probably a shot of my friend Jack Daniels in there somewhere.

Desert. Only one thing comes to mind. Mom's homemade brownies. Brownies, frosting, everything from scratch. Melt in your moth. Ummmmmmm.

Afterward, a healthy serving of 12 year old (or older) scotch, Walker Blue, or something else I couldn't afford. A good cigar, maybe a Trilogy Exotic Maduro or a Gurkha.

If I could get blowed after, that would be great, but I don't think that counts as part of the last meal...
