If you knew the END was tomorrow, what would be on the menu tonight?

As a long time Executive Chef and restaurant owner, I love to talk food...shocker, right? Well, I thought it would be interesting to see what the ATS community feels would be a fitting final menu before the SHTF!!!

Lets keep it simple so what would be your...

1. Last drink of choice.
2. Last entree of choice.
3. Last (2) side items of choice.
4. Last dessert of choice.

Assume that there are no restrictions upon what you could eat, meaning any food from anywhere was available to you for consumption...call it one final gift from the culinary gods before you head off to the freezer.

I will hold off on my choices, so as not to influence anyone.

1. Ice Cold Budweiser
2. Chicken Enchiladas
3. Side order of Rice and Beans
4. A Mars Bar

I think i'll need more than just one Budweiser though.

Fair enough, my friend.

A six pack, a spot on a rooftop, and watch the last sunrise on our beautiful planet.

Hi,

1. A bottle of Champagne
2. A bottle of great white wine (Le Montrachet?)
3. Two bottles of great red wine (La Tache?)
4. A dessert wine naturally....(D'Yquem?)

Not sure I'd have any worries....

Peace!

Sorry bro. personally, not much of a stomach for any food if the end comes the next day. Already would have lost so much, more so the gift of life and love.

Would appeciate if your place is high up on the mountains with a viewing deck and I would give you all I materially possess, if it would mean anything to you or you can do anything with it.

Peace

I'd be too overjoyed and excited to eat.

You seem to be overthinking a rather light hearted topic.

Last drink: one very large stein of a very good, aged scotch - may as well go out hammered

Last entree: tiger prawn/shrimp cocktail

Last main: tender lamb chops cooked in herbs, and a big fillet of fish in some kind of creamy, buttery wine sauce

Last desert: chocolate eclairs

It may be simple, but nonetheless enjoyable.

3.) Rice Pilaf/Asparagus smothered in Hollandaise sauce

one final gift from the culinary gods

I'm not certain I'd want to choose the details of the meal. Formal dinner design is best left to people who know what they're doing. A well-coordinated meal with proper choice of wine for each course is going to turn out far better than any arbitrarily chosen list of favorite foods.

But in keeping with the spirit of your question, I'll give you my own answers.

Last drink of choice.

In my mind a proper meal should not be limited to only a single type of alcohol. But if I were to choose only one, I'd choose a fun drink and plan on being so cheery during the meal that I wasn't too concerned with how well it complemented my food choices.

So...a Singapore Sling, made properly with freshly-squeezed fruit juices and enough pulp that it can be chewed, along with excessive garnishing of fruit on the rim. And for a final touch of decadence, the whole thing will be served in a pineapple instead of a glass.

Last entree of choice.

I'm leaning towards a "mixed meat platter." It would include both my favoirtes...saltwater eel, mantra ray, turkey, etc. along with some things I've never tried before: whale, dolphin, dog. Each meat would be available in a variety of states, from raw to cooked to crunchy charcoal. Raw food tends to have better flavor, but texture adds a great deal to the experience of eating. I would want both.

Last (2) side items of choice.

A pretty girl on my left side, and a pretty girl on my right side. They can feed me.

Come on bro...follow the guidlines laid out.

*shrug* Ok. I'd probably choose a similarly varied cheese platter to mix with the meats, and then be prissy and choose ginger as a palate cleanser. If this is a final meal, I don't want to be wasting my time eating fruits and vegetables just because it's traditional.

Last dessert of choice.

It's tough between a huge slab of chocolate and Japanese parfait. Therefore, clearly the answer is to have Japanese parfait with a huge slab of chocolate as garnish. Japanese parfait is some of the yummiest stuff in the world. And, like food textured by burning, there's a visceral quality beyond merely flavor available from gnawing from slabs of chocolate bigger than your hand.

Extra rare sirloin steak with a LOT of fat - untrimmed - the old fashion way!
Lobster with a parsley butter sauce and lemon
(We call that Steak and Lobster dinner here)

2 Side dishes? Teehee, can I have butterflied giant shrimp instead of one of those veggies? Baked potatoes with all the trimmings including FRESH bacon (not that jar junk) and chives and butter. If I can't have shrimp, then brocolli and cauliflower with cheese sauce - fresh made cheese sauce - not that jar junk.

Salad - can't remember if you said salad - my own Rainbow Salad with either Blue Cheese or Roquefort Cheese Dressing

Soup? - Yes please, not going to eat it - just for pretties - make it colorful!

Desert - American Cheese Cake (it's a bit grittier than French Cheese Cake)

Drink? - Pina Colada before meal and a White Russian after meal.

Oh, and about 24 kitty bags because I can't even consume more than a few bites at a sitting!

I tip well.

You gotta try a deep fried battered Mars bar, sounds crazy but try it and thank me later.

1. A Polish bullet made with bison grass vodka and fresh apple juice (leave the bottle thanks).
2. Thick cut T-bone steak medium rare.
3. The wife's dauphinoise potatoes and red cabbage with balsamic vinegar.
4. Tough choice, but probably a chocolate marble cheesecake with strawberries.

Man I'm so hungry now, looking in my cupboard is gonna make me depressed

Aims
coke
chocolate milk
dark chocolate
good stufed cuban cigar
