Thanks, if it's my last day I won't be needing the $5,000 a bottle the stuff costs, so may as well spend it, not like I'll be repaying the credit cards

Humble Pie before I meet my maker

Don't want to die, but I'm getting hungry reading these posts

I'd do similar to the OP, but it would be filet mignon medium, baked potato w/ all the dressings (although garlic mashed works for me too), and a nice robust red wine or a good champagne, followed by cheeses for dessert.

Alas, it's time to go heat up some Campbell's chicken noodle soup for lunch. Sigh...

I was thinking along the same lines. Something that takes a long time to finish...

All you can eat pancakes and an endless cup of coffee.




Seriously, though, steak and asparagus.

It's quite difficult to choose for this :-

I'll start with a small bowl of Kartofflensuppe mit Speck

A couple of fresh sardines with a green salad

A small dish of Penne Caccia e pepe

Two Lamb Chops Tikka (desi style) from my mate Tan's restaurant

A small simple cleansing sorbet

Rare Roast Beef, Yorkshire Pudding, Roasts and Mash, green peas, small carrots, decent gravy.

Cheese - Caerffili, Blue d'Auvergne, Very Aged Gouda, unpasteurised Livarot

Blackberry Pie and proper custard

To drink: An Alsace Riesling - 1989, a 1970 Latour, a 1977 port

Small greek salad, small bowl of spaghetti with Little Neck or Mediterranean clams, a neapolitan pizza with parma and arugula, a small filet wrapped in bacon with a couple of grilled prawns, a small cheese plate with a blue, a soft cow's and soft sheep's cheeses, and a chocolate mousse to end it.

For drinks, I'd start with a dirty martini, followed by a nice kiwi savvie, a barolo for the steak, and port to finish it all up. As the firing squad/guilliotine/hangman/electric chair were being readied, I'd be sipping a manhattan or possibly a nice cognac neat.

Yay. Almost makes it sound appealing.

I want a trip to Whole Foods to buy figs and kiwi fruit (not the large kiwis but the tiny variety ("Kiwi Organics" is what the container label says), and maybe some wheat sourdough just so the meal has some substance.

For the figs, any variety, but preferably brown turkey and some California type, the name of which escapes me, but which is unusually sweet, possibly the same type used for dried figs--not black mission figs, IOW, though I wouldn't turn those down either.

If the above are out of season when I am asked to state my preference for last meal, then that's all right--I'll wait as long as it takes.

And if anyone is curious--yes, they are available now, or at least were at my local WF (with the exception of the California unusually sweet fig, whatever it is called).

So many things pop to mind:

(1) First and foremost, my mom's squash casserole. I like to think I'm a good cook, but I can never duplicate it
(2) A peck of steamed oysters from the best/freshest available at the time, with just some hot sauce and lemon slices
(3) An emmenthaler/gruyere fondue with crusty bread and Granny Smith apple slices
(4) A hot tomato/mozzarella salad with more-than-usual good balsamic (hard to explain, but so freakin' delicious)
(5) Dark-meat turkey and oyster dressing, with just a touch of Southern-style white gravy
(6) Sauteed baby spinach with tons of garlic
(7) Strawberries from Plant City, FL when they're at the freshest

Polish it off with some fresh-squeezed red grapefruit juice and vodka (don't care about the brand ... more about the grapefruit juice) on ice.

A couple or three lobster rolls from Red's Eats in Wiscasset, ME.

Or perhaps a gorgeous rib steak from Peter Lugar's in NYC. Assorted vegetables roasted with olive oil and garlic (asparagus, cherry tomatoes, pearl onions, potato wedges) on the side.

Or a decent sized slab of moist brisket from Smitty's in Lockhart, TX, with a link of their sausage as a side.

Any of those would do just fine.

Each of those would be finished with a warm thick slice of of very good apple pie, topped with a large portion of Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream.

The beverage - iced tea, unsweetened.

Will it be lunch? Peter Pan creamy peanut butter on hamburger buns (two), Lays Kettle Cooked Mesquite BBQ Chips, and Dr. Pepper.

Dinner? A huge filet mignon which has barely been heated on the outside and is still cold and bloody inside, sauteed mushrooms, Ken Davis BBQ sauce on the side, french fries, steamed asparagus, a couple glasses of ice cold skim milk.

If some of us had as much food as itemized in some of the posts, that could indeed become our last meal?

A very large pile of hot steamed blue crabs and a very large pitcher of very cold beer.

steamed lobster and spicy hot tuna steak.
