My or Your Last Supper (a Guardian food series)

You should definitely go out of your way to watch the exquisite food documentary, Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011).

It's about the same restaurant and legendary sushi chef.

I will, I willl!! thanks for the suggestion.

At the bottom of that Guardian page are a lot more chef's links, each with suggested "lighthearted takes" on potential last meals. I've some reading to do.

I love that movie but I felt so bad for the octopus massager apprentice.

After watching that movie I realized I do not have the patience to perfect any skill.

Jiro sounded familar, and now I remember- there was this movie, Taro and Jiro in Antarctica.

Ok, back to Last Meals..

I'm thinking mine would be Cajun -- soft shell crab with bacon, etouffee, jalapeno hush puppies, gumbo, beignets with strong coffee.

Since itd be my last supper, Im thinking a pure gallimaufry of seafood. A vritable dogs breakfast of the following;
1. A 1.5 lb hard shell lobster. Steamed , not boiled and served with clarified sweet butter

2. 6 large fresh bay scallops broiled in a beur with a sweet sherry and served with slices of crispingWright's bourbon cured bacon (Not crispy)

3. One dozen fresh raw Chincoteague oysters and 1 dozen Lafayette Louisiana oysters served with an icey cold freshly made sauce of 2 parts ketchup and 3 parts horseradish. (Im still trying to figure out which variety I like better)

4. A freshly caught and broiled mackerel (About 12 inches long harbor mackerel. Broiled with a sweet butter/sweet sherry/ lemon juice basting, and served with a side of a fresh bernaise with pepper.

5 A butter/brown sugar apple tart, freshly baked and served a bit warm, with a caramel sauce on the side.

6. A bottle of Laphroig and a small glass and a pitcher of ice water to "open up my "Phroig"


You could then pull the switch

I gotta get a bunch of my favorites in. I don't care that they don't go together, and I don't care that it's too much to eat. Hell, I'm gonna die anyway.

Broiled whole Maine lobster with spicy bread stuffing and clarified butter.

Corned beef and kosher salami on a roll with cole slaw on the sandwich. Accompanied by a true sour pickle and a potato knish (the square kind).

A variety of Chinese dumplings with a variety of dipping sauces.

Veal parmagiana.

A chocolate malted.

A chocolate ice cream soda.

A chocolate egg cream.

A root beer float.

Chocolate devil's food cake with dark chocolate icing.

Pepsi

Black cherry soda.

A large, cold glass of milk.

Great meal there.

Your meal is inspirational! Also it reminds me to check my recipe files for how to make knishes (I used to buy them at Gelson's market but there's no Gelson's in this neck of the woods sandpile.

Adds, I just checked and I did find another thread re last meals - Hawkeye's

If I knew it would be my last meal, I would try to replicate the weekend had by those four gluttons in "La Grande Bouffe"(1973).

Basic plot: A pilot (Marcello Mastroianni), a cook (Ugo Tognazzi), a TV star (Michel Piccoli) and a judge decide to gorge themselves to death on fine cuisine.

I'll add articles from that Guardian series once in a while.

The first one here is Italian; another one I have my eye on is Ukranian.. so much food, so little time.
