If you had any control over it whatsoever, what would your last meal be? I can’t make a decision… A) A bucket of suicidally hot wings with extra blue cheese and a couple of pints of either Killian’s or Labatt Blue… or… B) A big honking prime rib, rare, with two twice-baked potatoes and a glass of a good red wine. ---

My mother’s chicken kiev, wild rice, french cut green beans, warm croissants, real butter, creme brulee and a Fresca. I’d almost commit a crime just to have that. jarbaby ---

Haggis with Neeps and Taters (made all fancy schmancy style) with a tall glass of good whiskey and about two or three black and tans. Of course you could order just about anything you ever wanted, just not eat it all, or if you did you wouldn’t have to worry about gaining weight 😃 Other things I would consider would be the hot wings, a hot dog from a ballpark, and some of that good curry fries. ---

I wish I could remember the name of the website that chronicles the last meals of about 50 (former) death row inmates. It was pretty funny, in a morbid sort of way. Interesting to find out what you AREN’T allowed to have as an inmate. Mine? A ton of fried shrimp, medium-rare filet, basmati rice, an artichoke with melted butter, a green salad with a balsalmic or caesar dressing, cheescake, and Kona coffee to wash it all down. Oh man, I **knew** I should have eaten lunch today… ---

IIRC from when McVeigh was executed, the federal execution protocols allow a final meal of no more than $20. Now I’m not a believer in coddling criminals, and I know there has to be some limit or some smartass would order a couple of pounds of that $100/lb. beef from Japan (and what’s up with THAT anyhow?) but damn if $20 isn’t chintzy for one’s last meal on Earth! ---

Crab legs, macaroni & cheese, sweet tea, and Newcastle Brown Ale. It’s my last meal, and I don’t care if they go together or not. ---

**Appetizers** 1. Sushi platter featuring Eel, Tuna, Salmon, Octopus, etc. I would like to specify the kind that sits on the lump of rice and not the kind that is rolled up. 2. A lightly spiced, perfectly cooked samosa with that yummy, almost sweet sauce that comes out with the burn-your-mouth chutneys. 3. Fresh Sardines in a lemon, garlic, olive oil marinade. **Salad** Spring greens with artichoke hearts, red, yellow, and orange peppers, red onion, dried sour cherries, goat cheese and raspberry vinagrette. **Main Course** Not sure yet **Sides** Lightly seasoned steamed spinach with a touch of vinegar. **Dessert** Not sure yet **Drinks** Not sure yet ---

Now I _really_ want to go visit my mother! I’m the only person in this house that will eat all that stuff. Well, off to the Farmer’s Market to see if I can find lima beans and blackeyed peas.
