What Would Be Your Last Meal on Earth?

Food & Drink / October 06, 2011
Melanie Dunea has done it again. In her first acclaimed book, My Last Supper (2007) she asked the world's top chefs 'what would you eat for your last meal on earth?' Now she just released My Last Supper: The Next Course where she upped the questions for 50 notable foodies. Thought provoking questions as well. I'm going to take a moment to answer them.
What Would Be Your Last Meal on Earth? You'll get the idea of why I chose this meal after you see the setting of this meal. I'd like to eat steak, good steak. Ones we bought from the market. Baked potatoes with all the fixings and a yummy beet salad. And chicken wings from grain fed chicken too (hot of course).
What would be the setting for the meal? I'd like it on a mountain top eating on a picnic table looking over Salmon Arm. Beautiful white and pink hydrangeas fill simple glass vases. Blue and white gingham table cloth and eating off my melomine camping dishes. It's dusk and there are lanterns in the trees to give off a soft glow. A campfire burns about 10 feet away and there are coolers filled with selections of ice cold beer.
Would there be music? Absolutely! Dave Mathews would serenade. Oh and maybe I'll have the Kings of Leon open cause I just saw them and they pretty much rocked.
Who Would be your dining partners? My mother and my boyfriend Garfield (yep just like the cat) and well whoever wanted to come, cause it would be a party.
Who would prepare the meal? Gordon Ramsay. I like that he swears a lot, is funny, and can cook. I hope he likes camping!

I, too, am a sucker for a good steak. I’d want a medium-rare steak smothered in sauteed mushrooms, a nice side of garlic toast, garlic mashed potatoes, and green beans with toasted almonds. Since it’s my last meal, may as well include a fat lobster tail with lots of garlic butter for dipping! For dessert, something decadent like a really rich cherry cheesecake. Yum!

My last meal would definitely have to be prime rib. Oooohhh I have such a strong and delicious food memory of an amazing prime rib meal at a cheesy hotel in California.
