What Would Be Your Last Meal?

October 26th 2007 23:09
Morose, morbid, even unpalitible - yet having last night watched not only the Shawshank Redemption but also The Green Mile - the thought of what I would choose to be my 'final meal' entered the cavernous recesses of my mind.

Hardly a conversation starter around the office water cooler - the subject matter is one most (in fact I'd hasten to suggest all of us) would prefer not to contemplate in reality - yet for the sake of the exercise - it proved a tough one for me to answer.


Would I go with something I'd longed for all my life - but had never tried?

Would I plump for an old favourite?

Or frankly my dear - would I give a damn?

Love to hear your thoughts.

Morning MNG

I'm a piggy and have thought of this before, a few times actually.

As the main meal, I would have a large greasy cafe rendition of egg, chips and beans. For dessert, I would have lots and lots of chocolate, eclairs, crisps and probably more chocolate.

After all that, I would have to either die or pop, so the question isn't morbid at all.

Now I'm starved.....

I would order my executioners head on a tray.
Checkmate.

Hey Trace

And a glass of Moet to go with that?

Always a pleasure.

Why stop at just the executioner old boy. Why not go the whole damn warder buffet.

Cheers

Oh gosh, drinks never occured to me, I was too busy imagining the food.

Yes, Moet would be lovely, thanks...

Oh I just don't know! Hot mattar paneer with very crisp samosas... chocolate mousse... roast lamb... pizza and carbonara... butterfly cakes... king prawns with pesto... lobster... scallops with the roe... cheesecake...

I could go on forever. One thing though - would have to be very drunk. And the more pressing question is... What the hell did I do to end up on death row?!

Ooh yes, chocolate mousse...I forgot that one, thanks Michaelie....

Yes, what did you do to end up on death row?!

Things surely are that bad are they mate?

I'd be going down the Roman path and asking for a food taster first.

Cheers

How we got there, is of course a mystery - crimes against fashion perhaps?

Nice gourmet selection.

Thanks buddy.

Well well well...

so its come to this eh MNG?

I suppose an invisible-man soup with a large gateau of immediate weight loss might not be possible?

Failing that, I'd order the Tang Dynasty Emperor's full birthday banquet, followed by a full serving of Ottoman Empire Sultan's banquet for foreign dignitaries, that should keep things going for about a week or two...
they really knew how to chow down in those days, 100 course meals...

cheers and pass the antacid...burrrrrp!

P.S. Hopefully I'd be too fat to fit in the gas chamber!

Grated black radish mixed with chicken fat and gribbons (these are rendered chicken fat with onions, sort of a Jewish version of pork skins). I love this stuff but, within a few hours, I get horrible chest pains and heartburn. Since execution will follow, that won't be a problem. And, for dessert, a couple of Mallomar cookies.

I am probably the only person alive that could not watch either SSR or the Green Mile. I used to work with the criminal justice system in Texas with victim advocacy. Any prison movie "with a heart" just turns my stomach. I tried to watch them both and could not finish them. :0(

But anyhoo
My last meal would consist of
My grandmother's fried chicken, mashed potatoes, fresh green beans, homemade rolls, and apricot pie... mmmmm
That's what I'm talking about!

In the words of the Monty Python crew.

Perhaps just another waffer thin piece Mr Creosote?

Nice . . . .

I like your thinking - just hope you don't receive too many stays of execution - for your stomach's sake.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hey Mis

You would've been excused from even entering the MNG speakeasy given your former employment history.

But what a meal. While that tract of H2O known as the Pacific prevent me from enjoying your mum's culinary delights - in my mind at least - I can taste that homestyle cooking now.

Hmmmm

A pint of vodka, a curry so hot it's a challenge and a shot of heroin.

I bet none of that's allowed, so...

Lobster, cornbread, and an olive salad, toffee flavoured milkshake, and the bggest chocolate ecclair thats ever been made.

I recall a joke from many, many years ago.

A condemned man, hours from his execution, requested fresh strawberries. The warden told him that, it being the heart of winter, the request could not be granted. Fresh berries would not be available for months. "That's OK", the man replied, "I'll wait."

It's an old joke, not necessarily a funny one.

Ain't a roast just the best damned meal - and it always tastes better when grandma made it.

Thanks for jumping on board.

Cheers

That rates right up there with one of the more interesting culinary responses.

I think I'd rather be incllined to O/D on the eccalir.

Stay well.
