OT: What's your last meal?
When I read about the team being in Rome, my focus immediately went to food. I visited Rome while I was in high school and loved every meal. So that got me thinking: if I had to pick a last meal, what would it be? This is such a difficult question for me. I love food and eating, and picking just one meal is like picking a favorite child. Ask me the same thing tomorrow, and it would be a completely different meal. But if I had to choose my last meal today, it would be a really well-made caesar salad, spaghetti and meatballs made with beef, pork, and veal (the meatball triumvirate), and for dessert, moist chocolate cake with chocolate frosting and a big glass of milk.

Two lafayette coney dogs and vernors.
Original Pancake House Big Apple for breakfast
Gordon Ramsay's Beef Wellington for lunch
Ceviche for early snack and a small cup of Coney Chili
Late dinner would be either a NY strip cooked Pittsburgh style, a thing of pulled pork from Due South BBQ (random Virginia BBQ place near VT that has an incredible state winning "Hot red" sauce), and some Korean Fried Wings.
Desert would be Banana Cream Pie from the nearest diner.
Probably spinach and sausage. Not entirely sure where I'd get it; I haven't had it in over ten years since I moved out of Madison.
Lots of beer, which I can't drink now (gluten-free beer is terrible, with a few exceptions). Boon Kriek, Westvleteren 12, Two Hearted Ale, and I'd order a bunch of new beers and send them back after a sip if they didn't pass muster.
For dessert, Michael's Frozen Custard in Madison made this toffee custard I used to love (Roca Crunch?). Then maybe a root beer float. And a glass of tawny port.
Afterwards I would be so full and drunk that I won't notice when they shove me in the incinerator.
So Arkansas can't be all that bad. I'll have to keep them in mnd when pondering my next capital offense.
My last meal would be an antidote to the lethal injection going into my arm.
Are we talking about the same thing?
A lot of good food has been listed so far but I'd go with sushi. Give me all the Salmon, Yellowtail, Mackrel that my stomach can handle, then I'll find room for some Octopus, Toro, Sweet Shrimp, Smelt-Fish Roe & Sea Urchin.
Damn, I'm hungry!
and Russian dressing from Katz's. Couple of half-sour dill pickles.

A 20 oz porterhouse from Del Frisco's. Medium, maybe a little bit charred. With all the trimmings.. pommes frites, asparagus, butter squash. Can I have my Ipod as well? I'd love a little bit of music with my meal.
Unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks.
And my last meal would never end.
When I was in elementary school, my best friend's mom would make beef burgundy, also known as beef bourguignon. It's like a stew with beef and onions and carrots and mushrooms, and I felt like a badass because there was red wine involved somewhere in there.
Then she'd have these baked bread rolls that had ground beef (or chicken? or pork?) inside and you could rip them apart or eat them whole or dip them into the beef burgundy stew.
She'd also give us a salad on the side but I don't remember what was in it aside from being in a phase where I put too much ranch on everything.
The nostalgia of simpler times, eating a yummy meal during cold, snowy Michigan winters when I was young and we just got our first computer and we played Ski Free and solitaire and doodled silly things on MSPaint is what I want to get out of my last meal on Earth.
Last meal, well if it's a death row type of last meal, I don't care as long it's to go. If I'm dying type of last meal I'd order everything off the desert menu.
Feces
Randolph Street, Chicago. I'd start just over the river and work my way west until filled with items from tasting menus.
Steak and a tall glass of whole milk.That is all.
I live in the south and love breakfast so this is an easy choice...
Shrimp N Grits with sausage gravy along with scrambled eggs, biscuits n sausge gravy, hash browns, bacon and pancakes with maple syrup. Absolute heaven!!!
...and I never was sure of the answer but a few years ago I underwent a major surgery in my abdomen. Not a small procedure by any means and it turned out that my last meal was at Le Relais de l'Entrecôte on Rue Saint-Benoît. Clearly I opted for the steak-frites as comfort food option. Thankfully, I survived the surgery even though I went fully 10 days without eating as a tube was placed into my recovering guts.
Having said that, and in the spirit of M in Rome, my choice of favorite meal continues to be the pasta all'amatriciana with kosher beef at Trattoria Moderna in Rome. I am not, by nature, a foodie and this is the only dish that I have ever actually found myself dreaming about. I make sure that I have this every time that I am in Rome.
If I've got about 12 hours or so, 3 full drops of
Liquid LSD on a Cruton, a Half Ounce of high
quality Skunky ass bud, a case of Heinekin
and a carton of Marlboro Reds.
