On Wednesday when I was wasting my time on perusing Twitter, I came across this article on the real last suppers death row inmates chose. I thought it was a fascinating look inside the inmates mind. I was surprised with some(like the smoker. What kind of meal is that?) and sympathized with others(I mean, who doesn’t want to sit down to a burger, fries, and a milkshake?). And then I started asking myself the very same question: What would my last meal be?
My initial reaction was that I’d eat all the things with gluten I can’t but crave—Dunkin’ Donuts lemon filled powder donuts, Boston Market mac n’ cheese, and a big chewy chocolate chip cookie. But after thinking about it I realized I don’t want to go out of this world gassy and bloated; I’ll take my vanity to the grave.
So then I thought I’d eat a really good Holiday meal with food like the best quinoa dressing, whole roasted chicken, and fingerling potatoes.
Who am I kidding? That’d be a great healthy meal to eat before a race, but it’s no last meal. I don’t have a sweet tooth; I have 26. So I’d more likely have to order a dessert platter.
Oh Baby bars so that I could die fat an happy.
Taza chocolate. Like I said, I can’t resist it.
Godiva’s flourless chocolate cake. I’m still in awe of how good this was, even better than my version. Those little bastards.
And a pan of these brownies, which are sinfully good(recipe coming later this week!).
That’s more like it. Can you see a theme?
What would you want for your last meal? Feel free to share recipes!
Haha I’d want all of the above:-) I’d want to have some great savory but probably end with a massive brownie sundae topped with fresh whipped cream, chocolate fudge and peanut butter sauce. You know, hypothetically speaking if I were to ever consider the topic…
I don’t know what I’d want my last meal to me, but I do know EXACTLY who I’d want to share it with 🙂
That quinoa looks great-and that dessert??? yum! My last meal would prob be endless bowls of pasta and garlic bread!
I can’t wait for the brownie recipe! They look so good. I want one right now 🙂
It would have to be my Spinach Pie, Mac and Cheese, pad Thai, garlic bread, and then a GIANT platter of desserts! Including a giant flourless chocolate fudge cake.
haha such a freaky thing to think about, but also very interesting! i’d probably call you to make me some oh baby bars 🙂 i’m going to check that site now!
I’d probably want a big bowl of chocolate chip cookie dough- I’d die happy and possibly with salmonella. 😛
So, my last meal and your last meal are more or less the same. Except I’ll take mine with a side of chocolate. Topped with more chocolate. With a scoop of chocolate ice cream.
Breakfast- waffles with strawberries and whipped cream
Lunch- cheesy pizza and breadsticks with chocolate chip cookies for dessert
Dinner- cheesesteak, pierogies, and a peanut butter sundae for dessert
Snack- banana cream pie
My adoration for you gets exponentially greater with each post.
Perhaps because you strike me as my male counterpart?
In any case, I was just reading an interview with Guy Fieri and he stated he would like spaghetti with tomato sauce.
I’m not sure what I would request!
I wish I were you counterpart because that would mean that I already made it to Grad school and have cute dogs to play dress up with.
Huge slices of deep dish pizza, mashed potatoes, and endless amounts of dessert. Any dessert, it doesn’t matter. Preferably chocolate, but I’m not picky 🙂
I want to say Indian chickpeas, but I don’t want to leave this world full of gas.
So I am going with fat and happy. Kabobs or a Philly Cheesesteak.
i want pans full of my grandma’s cinnamon rolls. not gluten free so my tummy would die. But she’s no longer with us. so the chances of this happening are none. But i still want her cinny rolls with tons of frosting!
And chocolate, too of course 🙂
Truffle mac and cheese, a giant bag of mangosteens, and chocolate-hazelnut gelato. And a French crossaint. And a falafel. And a chocolate waterfall.
could i have a 5 course last meal? from soup to dessert?
My last meal would be a dessert platter as well! I would probably eat so much I would feel really sick, but who cares I am dead after haha! Those brownies in the last photo look awesome!
That’s such a hard question! I would probably have a big Italian pasta meal, followed by some kind of amazing dessert – brownie sundae, carrot cake with whipped cream, peanut butter chocolate cake…all of the above?
[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Mary K, Raya . Raya said: Were those Raw eggs?? RT @WannabeChefEvan: 2 pints of ice cream? A pack of cigarettes? What would your last meal be? http://su.pr/9NXzoa […]
Tons and tons of sushi. 🙂
last meal? oh man… I would want it all! sushi… mashed potatoes and veggies… cheesecake… whole food’s hot bar… haha EVERYTYHING! <3
I think my last meal would definitely have to include Cashew Ginger Tofu.
At the moment, I’m thinking a batch of my raw vegan brownies alongside a jar of sunflower seed butter, then a huge wedge of stinky blue cheese, a Mont Blanc direct from Paris, all followed up with a kilo of Valrhona Guanaja.
*swoon*
I would definitely have a random concoction of my favorite foods–pizza, mashed potatoes, bacon…cheesecake for dessert 🙂 I guess by looking at my list I wouldnt be taking vanity to the grave?!
Good lookin’ header!
My last meal would be a seafood fest. Shrimp, king crab legs and scallops are a must. Fill up on lean protein for my next life 🙂
Your desserts look so good! I have a sweet tooth too, but always go for comfort food, especially food that my mom made when I was growing up. Spaghetti and meatballs, mac and cheese…pretty much any pasta meal makes the list 🙂
I think I’d have to go with your first answer… all the gluten I stay away from now… a fresh warm croissant, a fresh baguette + brie, and the gnocchi made from pâte à choux that I am watching on Iron Chef Battle Gruyere right now. oh YUM.
then, I want your brownies. haven’t seen the recipe and I already know this to be true. 😀
I’d choose a margerita pizza and with none of that vegan cheese shit for my last meal 🙂
Nice plate with the red flower/chilli border.
I absolutely would want to go out gassy and bloated from greasy food. I figure, if I have a stomachache, that should take my mind off the imminent death.
Bring on the snickers!
I guess if it’s a meal it could be a few things right? I would start with cheese fondue.. its my favorite and then finish the meal with a friend snickers or milky way (had it once in scotland and it was incredible!!)
Oh gosh, I kept this post as unread in my Google Reader just so I could reply! HAH. I’d eat a big giant whole wheat pizza. With about 2 tons of cheese. Yum. 🙂
That is a very difficult question. It’ll be an extensive list of food I love. On top of my head: tagliatelle with black truffle to start, followed by a slowly roasted pork belly with cracklings with apple and mustard sauce and then tiramisu; and lots and lots of red wine and cocktails.
