what would be your last meal?

[nextqueen]

A bit grim, but what would be your last meal ever if you had to choose, if there were 3 courses?

[Jan1957]

Cream of tomato soup
Fillet Steak, jacket potato, onion rings with grilled mushrooms and tomatoes.
Banoffi pie

[Khandro]

When I was serving time in Folsom prison, I used to dream of canned tomatoes and fried crispy bacon.

[Purple_Popple]

Starter: Baked Brie with cranberry sauce
Main: Swordfish Steak, chipped potatoes, salad
Dessert: Rum n Raisin icecream
All washed down with 4 bottles of the best Ozzy chardonnay...so then i wont care about my fate....lol.

For you, Khandro (even though I still can't understand why you'd want canned tomatoes!)

Chicken liver pate and toast
Duck a'lorange, saute potatoes and green beans
Rhubarb or plum pie and thick cream
yum!!

[Buenchico]

That lot sounds fine to me, Pinki!

Pips1:
I can't stand rhubarb but, as long as you promise that the pie will be plum, I'll join you with that menu!

Well since Im dieting at the moment, it would have to be.............. a whopping fish and chips with mushy peas, a strawberry gateux and a couple of pints of good lager. Ive really missed them and I would like to go happy knowing I cant put on weight.

Mediterranean fish soup.
Lamb shanks with dauphinoise pots.
Chocolate fondant with vanila ice-cream.

Fois gras

Steak Tartare

Big bowl of popcorn

Can't stand cream of tom soup and not keen on the tom sauce that come with baked beans or spag hoops etc., but I love tomatoes, fresh, tinned or sieved as in passata. Quite like ketchup as well.

[chokkie]

probably macaroni cheese, made the way my paternal grandma used to make it!

[joggerjayne]

Ooh, Tiggy ... Costco do amazing lamb shanks.

All in sauce, cooked, and everything.

You just heat them.

I know it's a cheat, but they really are good. Real melt-in-your-mouth meat.

[ummmm]

Jayne - what does Fois gras taste like?

[tiggerblue10]

Might have to go and have a gander then JJ and see what there is there.

I either have to have my meat very rare or slow cooked to get the melt-in-your-mouth effect.

[tiggerblue10]

I had fois gras once and its quite nice but I won't eat it now for ethical reasons.

[ummmm]

That's what puts me off but I am curious to taste it...

[joggerjayne]

ummmm ...

Crikey, tastes are hard to describe, aren't they.

It's kind of like liver (obviously!) but it's so soft, you wonder how it keeps it's shape, and when you put it in your mouth, well it's the only thing which does, literally, melt. You have it on a toasted brioche, with a glass of sweet dessert wine.

The thing that really irritates me is when some restaurants have "fois gras" on the menu, and when it comes it's pate de fois gras, not seared fois gras.

It's the best starter ever.

[joggerjayne]

"Quite nice" Tiggy ??

Oh, come on ... it's orgasmic.

[tiggerblue10]

The one time I had it it had a frothy topping on it. I found it had a very creamy texture Ummmm. A lot nicer than normal liver and finer than pate.
