You've been captured by the other side unfortunately, and are scheduled
to be put out the airlock in the morning. Being civilized of course,
your captors will grant you one final grand meal. This ain't prison
food, but anything your heart desires. The above silly set-up notwithstanding, the question is real, so do tell. If you had but one meal left to enjoy, what food and extras would you enjoy? I'll go with this menu: Broiled Shrimp with homemade tartar sauce A good, messy cheeseburger Chocolate milkshake - Ice cold beer with warm soft pretzel Two Camel cigarettes, one filtered and one unfiltered Dinner music: Banco's "Darwin" and then some Buddy Guy with the drinks. Then, black of space, here I come.  |

A really big, really good Monte Cristo sandwich. You just can't a good one in these health conscious days in which we live. Also, a pint of really good beer. Maybe Rogue Shakespeare Stout. -------------

I imagine it'd be some sort of BBQ platter or I might just go to Texas de Brazil since I can basically eat as many different meats as I want till I keel over, with a plentyful salad bar -------------  Time always wins. |

I love food in general so much that my last meal could change like the wind. I'll start with: A mint julep made with fresh mint and Maker's Mark bourbon Then: A pitcher of Samuel Adams Cherry Wheat draft beer Ribeye steak with the fat caramelized, topped with caramelized onions, mushrooms and Montreal spicy steak seasoning Mashed russet potatoes with butter Corn on the cob (also with butter) For dessert, a glass of tawny port and a piece of baklava (garnished with extra cloves) And since smoking is included, how about an Excalibur Emperor:  All enjoyed during Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.  ------------- https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays" rel="nofollow - https://epignosis.bandcamp.com/album/a-month-of-sundays |

Meh, I hate fancy food. I'd just want to enjoy one more bowl of Ramen or two.

And of course, as the internet, I remember the source of Finn's gif. If your pathetic brain hasn't absorbed it yet, or even worse, if it has but then forgotten it, here you go, meatbag.
I would probably just have my mom's macaroni and chees and meatloaf, with some ice cream afterwards. I have simple tastes. ------------- if you own a sodastream i hate you |

I'm referring more to the piece of cake as a last meal. I drink tea, not coffee, but I can at least respect that.

Don't forget to put it all in a bucket and mix it up good, except for the ming. There's a huge variety of stuff I like so I'm currently racking my brains. And no it wouldn't be brains.

| Red beans and rice, smoked pork sausage, Louisiana hot sauce and hot cornbread or biscuits if they know how to make'em flaky. Ice water or unsweetened ice tea. |

Probably nothing, is there just any way you can speed this up and get it over with? However the caretaker's suggestion sounds good. Andouille baby . I'd like a hot Earl Grey green tea with that instead of iced tea. Man I don't like that stuff. Spiced Indian Darjeehling would work, too. |

Beef pot roast with carrots and potatoes. Then something like 6 Jaegerbombs and since we're including smoking, you might guess what I'd choose.

I would probably have whatever is offered first, since I'm not really going to enjoy much anyway knowing I'm about to die a terrible death. I don't know what I would actually like.

A multi-course Indian feast!
Yum -- food to die for!
Second place would be West Indian. Mmmmm -- jerk!
I made mulligitawny last night (a tres tasty curry chicken soup), and tonight it's to be tandoori chicken and Spanish potatoes. I like spice!  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!' He chortled in his joy. |

Hey Peter! I had Indian tonight.....a fish with homemade cheese in a creamy sauce with cashews and raisins....that might sound awful but it was quite good. I've found the Indian restaurants around here are pretty good with fish (salmon), but they overcook the chicken and shrimp, the chicken is always dry and tough, the shrimp rubbery. Yet aside from their handling of those two items, the rest of their food is pretty awesome. I just stick with fish or go vegetarian there. |

When I do Indian it's lamb for me. And lots of naan obviously. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

Hmmm....I haven't tried lamb yet, maybe I should. And yes, naan is amazing when warm and fresh. (We need a mouth-gorging emoticon for this thread)

My wife & I were in a good Indian eatery in Toronto a while back. When we asked for one of the dishes to be hot (spicy), the sari-clad waitress asked "Canadian hot, or Indian hot?" We said "Let's try Indian hot." Man, that WAS haaaawt! The accompaning cold beer was most welcome -- and needed!
 And yeah, Egalitarian, fresh-baked naan to stog it all down with and wipe the plate clean afterwards is awesome.
My wife cooks great indian food, as well -- she can whip up a five-courser, replete with raita, in no time flat! My teenaged daughter, meanwhile, made some fine chana the other day -- jerk flavour!
 My "from scratch" vindaloo though, with the spices toasted and individually blended (no curry powder, but the individual ingredients, plus more) is amazing, if I may be so immodest -- if you can wait for it.  ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?

 Oh yes, Balance ol' boy -- we're all happy when that one is served up! Often my wife will make another Indian dish or two to accompany it. And the rice is always basmati, naturally. So much more fragrant and tasty than everyday white rice! We buy it by the sack. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'

Turmuric (a key spice in curry) has strong anti-carcinogenic properties, they now say. I have often found that spicy food will kill a cold -- a real shot in the arm for the immune system.
I hear that spicing up meat like that originated in hot countries as a way of preserving meat, masking the taste/odor of meat which was going "off," etc. (So much healthier that our western salting and pickling.) In the West indies, lime juice is used to wash raw chicken pre-cooking -- the citric acid is not only a tenderizer (and tasty), but also a natural disinfectant, killing salmonella and other nasties -- and thus the lime slice in the neck of your Mexico City-made Corona. ------------- "And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?

^^ I like Basmati too, it's the only rice I make now, its longer split grain cooks-up much better than normal 'long grain' rice which these days in California is more like the crunchy pearl variety for me; Southern fried chicken with coleslaw, beans, biscuits&honey, and plenty of hot sauce |
