Blue fin tuna roll with lots of wasabi.
Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci slow roasted on a spit and basted
with Klaus Schwab’s rendered out fat. I’ll slice off my own slabs and feed them
to my dogs. I’ll keep slugging down the $2800 Chateau Mouton Rothschild 2000
knowing those evil vintner creatures made my cookout even better
as a send off.
Sounds delicious, what time is dinner?
Depends on my dogs.
if i knew it was my last meal, it would hardly matter what i was eating, but i’d want a number of family and friends around the table.
Kind of what I’m thinking. If I’m on my death bed will I ask for a last meal, I’m dying. If I’m facing execution what difference does it make, a “last” cigarette, a piece of cake, an ice cold IPA from a craft brewery in Oregon, those delicious hops there, maybe take a dump if I can, pee, I don’t know. 🤷♂️
I forgot to mention the beverage. I like Anchor Steam myself.
I’ve consumed that before. I’m not much for carmels though ( not knocking your taste). Sierra Nevada out of Chico , CA., Pale Ale, not bad for commercial. Their Torpedo, tasty yet the alcohol content is a little above “average” for typical IPAs I would say. Lagunitas IPA the one with the cute dog with one black ring around an eye on the cap, lol…not bad at all although it has been a subsidiary of Heineken since 2015.
Oregon, Corvallis, Newport and the coast , some very nice draft IPAs from smaller micro breweries. Time to get back out there. Not for the IPAs, just standing on a beach looking west over the Pacific Ocean, waves coming in, reading the history of the region, then traversing on up to Port Townsend , WA. , just awesome IMO and something not found in Texas.
Not far from me, 60 miles is Great Raft Brewery in Shreveport LA. My wife won’t allow me to go there , probably for the better. They do offer some commercial canned. Their Commotion APA (American Pale Ale) reminds me of some of the tasty IPAs in Oregon, the color of the liquid. There are not many craft brews in Texas IMO or the south that I’m aware that has it together on IPAs, APAs like Great Raft.
Long winded but hey, last (secular) request before going to the gallows.

Thinking about this question just makes me miss mom’s roast chicken dinner with all the trimmings… It’s been nearly 30 years…
I know what you mean. Five kids, not a HUGE family, but how my mom cooked the meals she did…
My step dad spent several years of his life in an orphanage during the great depression years so he was a stickler for fine home cooked meals having experienced orphanage food. I don’t know how mom did it, she did it. Every meal was like a feast.
So much food, so little time
(wink)
Or so little space any more….
A small piece of bread and a small glass of wine, provided by my favorite Minister.

Alaskan King Crab
Prime Rib
grilled Vidalia onion
pan fried corn
fry bread
Hot Pecan pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream
Your mortician will be a busy man when he cleans up your mess!!!
Second on the pecan pie
Junk food. Chips & salsa, tacos, burgers, onion rings, fries…all the junk. I rarely eat it, but not gonna lie…I love it.
Burgers and tacos, junk food? Not when you load them up with lettuce, tomatoes, onion, avocado, and peppers.
Is that how you justify it?
Guilty as charged. Not real food is junk food in my eyes.
I halve avocados frequently and add a bit of fresh ground pepper to each half. Spoon that stuff out. Delicious, nutritious. While not a food thread per se, this recently in:
United States Temporarily Pauses Import of Avocados From Mexico
😀 In lieu of food perhaps one last tune by REK, then Amazing Grace by Willie Nelson.
Speaking my language…🙂
“I don’t care if I go to Delaware anyway. So ***** you, we’re from Texas…
😎
Gotta confess, Tex, I’m not from Texas. I’m a Colorado gal, but live in TX now. (and I ain’t no crazy liberal)
Colorado was made up of half Texans and half Californians…and very few are natives. So…all my favorite peeps there were Texans…I knew those were my people.
That’s ok. 😀 I’ve been to Rocky Mountain National Park, Estes Park, several times. Last time I was in CO was Oct. ‘20 , Cortez, loved it, in route to Oregon. Check it out on line, stayed at an old motel named White Eagle, Cooler Than ****. Northern New Mexico, Durango , CO, Prugatory (sp, the ski area) CO, A – ok. 👍
Yeah, it truly is an amazing place. I feel incredibly blessed to have lived there and experienced God’s country. I miss it tremendously (but not the people). I’m heartbroken over what the communists have done to the state.
Having visited CO a number of times, in 2012 I first went to northern Montana,almost into Canada , Glacier National Park then NW MT almost into Idaho. It was September but for some reason I almost thought I liked that better than Colorado. I was never a snow skier as vacations in CO were always early June.
A tale about Colorado, staying at YMCA of the Rockies , we decided to venture over toward Grand Lake. We got on some jeep trails and I started to notice signs along the trail, this was an area that was hunted etc. Signs, trail signs, forestry signs, whatever, I noticed many signs had bullet holes in them. I asked a “local” later on what’s up with the bullet holes in the signs? Local said it was those damned Texans that came up during hunting season shooting up the signs. I just grinned thinking , heck, in rural Texas that’s what we Use to do on back roads , use to mind you, shoot road signs with .22 or perhaps a shotgun blast. Crazy kids, us, I got a kick out of that anyway, damned Texans.
Your story doesn’t surprise me. Locals are not big fans of Texans. You boys are a little too rowdy for mountain liberals, ya hear?
Spent two months in Glacier NP. Amazing. It’s my favorite park…even over Rocky Mountain NP.
I gave up skiing as a person I was with fractured BOTH my legs by accidentally running into me! Completely healed, but that was not fun at all.
Like Lyle Lovett says, That’s right, you’re not from Texas, but Texas wants you anyway.
Lyle’s a cool dude. 🙂
My enemy’s heart and liver, and his wife and children, lightly battered, and sauteed in clarified butter.
Since you asked.
Washed down with a tall glass of their tears.
You really have enemies

Nobrainer for me. Fish & Chips from the King’s Head Inn in Santa Monica – no other F&C ever even came close this lifetime. My mouth still starts to hurt in anticipation when I get within 50 miles of LA decades later!
I’ll be out that way in a few months.
Best Fish and Chips I ever had was from a seafood restaurant (no longer in existence) attached to the Bass Pro Shop in San Antonio. I went back for seconds about a year later and they had been replaced by some Rachel Ray joint.
But I’ll stop by this inn you speak of and put your claim to the test!!!
I’ll look forward to your report!
I make my own. Fresh halibut or cod dipped in panko and tempura. Will match any fish house. Put a shrimp or two in there, also.
Klaus Schwab. At least I’d know he was gone before I died. Would just pass on eating him though.
German bologna and American cheese on white bread with mayo and mustard, chips and a pickle with a glass of whole milk.
Thousand year old egg. I want a new one.
A big-ass ribeye, medium-rare. On the side, I’d have a big-ass ribeye, medium-rare and for desert a big-ass ribeye, medium rare. And a couple of white Russians.

Not ‘out of line’ at all. 😉
In no particular order, any of my wife’s home cooked meals all with her famous chunk salad for starters and with her across from me:
Stew
BBQ Ribs
Salmon with Ginger Honey Glaze
Her home made baked pork chops
Turkey Marinara over Rigatoni
Turkey Burrito
Chorizo Eggs
etc.
My wife’s pot stickers or won ton can match any in the world.
Huevos rancheros, some cafe I forget in Alpine , Texas
Like in a capital punishment situation where I knew they couldn’t kill me until after I had ingested my exact request?
Well, in that scenario, I would order two Brontosaurus eggs cooked over easy, and along with a professionally manufactured, FDA approved, commercially purchased, and factory-sealed bottle of moon water.
German bologna and American cheese on white bread with mayo and mustard, chips and a pickle with a glass of whole milk.
Bologna sandwich w/ cheese.
Make that fried bologna w/American cheese, mayo, lettuce on white bread.
1970’s – British evening menu in my imaginary London club: (Harvesters Steakhouses are no more) but the menus can be sought. In USA, this will do the trick: https://cattlemensrestaurant.com/what-are-the-best-cuts-of-steak

Enjoy a frame of snooker which has to be with a Gordon’s London gin, ice & tonic, but with cucumber not lemon and then settle down to a round of bridge. Time for bed with a good nubile, Swedish nurse to take care of the gout that follows such an enjoyable evening.
Failing all that: Fish ‘n Chips!
I vote Austrian Peter be put in charge of the Sunday Classics dinner buffet.
Indomethacin for the gout. Don’t care if it’s pharma, it works. Take it ahead of time, can’t wait long enough for the cannabis to “work”. The King’s Disease. I’m in Texas where there are more old drunks than there are old doctors. Doc told me once, read meat and alcohol, gout.
I visited Texas in 1997 (Bandera) and stood aghast at the size of the breakfast steak, plus eggs sunny side up, as you say, and all the trimmings. And we went to a ‘theme’ dinner at a town (you say city) nearby (can’t remember the name but it began with an ‘R’) – that was stunning. I just fell in love with the Lone Star State with trains 2 miles long and all sorts of other mid-blowing things for a Brit to experience.
Not sure on the town with R, there are a number of ranches around there that probably offer venues. Could be a town , R, not even on the map!
Utopia is only about 33 miles to the west. Lost Maples State Natural Area to the north of Utopia is awesome in the fall when the leaves turn colors. Glad you enjoyed the visit. That is a nice area, Bandera,old western history.
Got it! It wasn’t an ‘R’ is was Kerrville – I remember driving there for breakfast with my friend who lived just outside Bandera and being amazed what you could buy for $3!

Kerrville, yes sir, glad you got to visit.
Now Utopia, TX , it’s a real place. lol
Actually, maybe Mary’s Cafe in Strawn, Texas. Amazing chicken fried steak. Not certain it’s still open.
By golly , I guess Mary’s is still open.
Mary’s Cafe, Strawn , Texas
Chicken fried steak then drift over to Mingus for one last bar room brawl…kidding.
Is that you, Tex??
Die young, but happy.
That looks like someone I’ve met! Is that your husband? Some folks resemble each other a lot. Definitely typical Texan look. lol
Tell the truth now…😂😂
I cannot tell a lie. That cowboy looks to be touching 260. If that is your husband I don’t mean to be mean.
In 2004 I was touching 240. I had a family doctor in Fort Worth that I liked , all doctors considered. Basic six month blood work and he had stopped the finger for prostate examination. He said “they” could detect any issues with the prostate via the blood lab stuff. Same with my doctor now. Ok by me. The doctor was of Indian origins but born in the US. His mother was also working the clinic and was “from India”.
He was a good doc IMO, never pushing chemicals on me, primarily discussions about diet. We would talk about “alternatives”. Anyway, while not at a dangerous leve, he was concerned about my blood sugar thing going up in the past year. He suggested I lose 20 pounds before the next six month visit or he might have to prescribe DRUGS. Next time in I was down to 210. Now I maintain 195-200 weighing with jeans on , lace up work boots with steel toe, flannel shirt ( no cowboy hat or big belt buckle) and a sidearm on my belt. 🙂 5’11” I’m still off the so called charts but those charts ain’t for everyone.
Anyway, the man in the pic has a friendly looking face typical in these parts known as Texas except for the scoundrels we call state government “politicians”.
Lebanese Meze Platter from Marouche (if you’re in LA, look it up…)
As I’m assuming that won’t be a “last meal before the gallows” type, i.e. I won’t be at full strength anymore,
a few pieces of Swiss chocolate will suffice.
The pineal glands of all my enemies. Tempura battered.
I don’t like menus so much. So, I’ll just have what you have.
Yes Waiter, I’ll have the fried Essex clams with french fries and cole slaw, with an ice tea to drink. A slice of Boston cream pie for desert. See the guy in the corner with the robe and the scythe? You can give him the bill.
My immediate thought was “Miss January.”
If it is my last meal b4 an execution, I would take days to finish this meal.
I saw a documentary once, about a renowned chef who quit her job and started working in a hospice setting. She would cook one meal per day for one person on his or her death bed, complete with interviewing that person about the exact details of how it should be prepared and then shopping for the ingredients at the local market or store. She said that it was the most fulfilling thing she had ever done, that it was a lot more than a job. She also said that most people ask for food that they remember from their childhoods, often cooked exactly the way their mother or grandmother made it.
Touched by God that one.
Fauci’s Heart, but i would slip it to my dog under the table. And now i scroll down and see that Colorado beat me to it!
Doggie might sprout goat horns and start walking on cloven hind legs. Think twice about this!
Breaded Covina cooked in butter , plantains, gunga peas and rice…overlooking the Chagras Dam…Panama.
