Friday Fun - Last Meal on Earth

zack

Happy Friday Community!

I listen to a lot of podcasts in my spare time, and one of them always asks their guests what their last meal on earth would be. Which got me thinking about my own...

I have some middle-eastern heritage, so I think my last meal would have to be a big assortment of mediterranean food made by my grandmother: stuffed grape leaves, kibbie, hummus, baba ghanoush, kabees el lift, etc. and then top it off with too much baklava for dessert.

So, if you knew your days were numbered, and you were allowed anything at all, what would your last meal be?

@zackMy last meal will be Atlassian Stack

Monique vdB

Oh man, good question @zack.

I can't decide between the tasting menu (wine pairing included, of course) at Atelier Crenn or an In n' Out burger (double meat, no cheese, raw onion) and a strawberry milkshake. Do I go fancy or do I go guilty pleasure food? Hmm....

Detroit-style pizza. For sure. 🍕❤️

Scott Theus

That's easy....1 large pizza with double pepperoni, slightly well done, and a margarita.

Oh...and it has to come from here: Pizza Palace

Scott Theus

@Monique vdB, I guess that depends on how much time exists between finding out it's your last meal and the arrival of the Reaper. If he's already knocking then go for the burger. There is nothing worse then having to rush a meal as appealing to all the senses.

BTW...I have a new bucket list item

Oh this is a hard one to answer. I would have to say a prime rib with mushrooms, mashed potatoes, and some German chocolate cake with a boulevard wheat beer. Or pizza if I was short on time, BBQ chicken pizza, with the beer still and the cake.

Bryan Trummer - ReleaseTEAM

A fantastic choice!

Bryan Trummer - ReleaseTEAM

That menu for Pizza Palace look amazing!

Monique vdB

Where can I taste Detroit-style pizza? I mean, Detroit, obviously, but.... like... anywhere else?

Community Manager

Mo, it's the best. 😭 Come to New York, and we'll visit Emmy Squared. Or if you find yourself in Michigan, hop on over to Jet's or Buddy's Pizza.

Monique vdB

@Scott Theus worth it. The tasting menu at Benu is also amazing and I considered that for my list instead Two words: Lobster Bao.

Alinea has always been on my bucket list...

Aswin Achuthan

Ah, good post
If I have superpower to eat without any limit, I would have South Indian Chicken Biryani

.. AND Chicago's Deep Dish Pizza

Scott Theus

It may be just me, but there is something about this topic that makes me want to grab a towel and go hitchhiking.

Monique vdB

@Scott Theus As long as you have your towel.

Brien Matthys

Tacos with Chips and Salsa! I could eat this daily!

Kat Warner

Roast lamb with kumara and pumpkin cooked by my mother-in-law followed by hot apple pie with cream and vanilla ice-cream (assuming the end is not long after the meal otherwise I need dairy-free ice-cream).

Followed by Earl Grey tea and banana cake with chocolate icing.

Meg Holbrook

Kat Warner

8. Fashion accessory

9. To play peek-a-boo with an infant/toddler

10. A skirt or really short strapless dress

Can we get to 42 uses?

Meg Holbrook

Just take me to a chocolate factory and set me free. Clean my body up when I hit the floor. I'm Augustus Gloop in real life.

Willy-Wonka-Augustus-Gloop

Agree with @Kat Warner though, any ice cream would need to be consumed relatively close to my departure.

unknown

I made Baozi once! It didn't come out great haha

unknown

Coconut something. If I'm going to die, I might as well have something I'm deathly allergic to.

Kat Warner

I suggest a Pina Colada!

Community Manager

@Meg Holbrook Living for this reference.

Meg Holbrook

I'm happy you're pickin' up what I'm puttin' down.

unknown

I have a perfume that is Pina Colada smelling. It's my favorite. I've never actually had one.

Aidan Samuel

So it's my last day on earth and I can eat anything? Anything?

I'd eat a mushroom. Specifically:

Image result for extra life mushroom

Monique vdB

@Moses Thomas 🤣

Monique vdB

@Aidan Samuel amazing.

Ollie Guan

Yang's Fried Dumpling!

Monique vdB

I eagerly searched for where this is, but see that the answer is Shanghai. Noooooooo.....

Linette

Showing my UK roots, I'd have a chip butty:

Warm from the oven, thick fluffy slices of bread.

Lashings of melting butter.

Thick cut chips, the slightly waxy kind of potato, rather than the floury kind.

Salt, pepper.

One round would have Worcester sauce, the way I traditionally had them.

The second round would have some cheese and sambal olek.

I would die full and happy.

Alana Fernando

If I know this is my last day on earth, most probably I won't eat a thing on the day. surely it is the meal I had the day before. looking at my current meal routine it would be rice and curry. Oh god! I should change my meals

Fabienne Gerhard

@Aidan Samuelclever - love it!

Fabienne Gerhard

I would definitly eat a mix of cakes from my grandma - if I had to choose one I would take "Frankfurter Kranz" (Frankfurt wreath) like on this pic. That's something to die for - a lot of buttercream, biscuit dough, marmelade and caramelized almonds.

Will my day on earth end when I finished the meal @zack?

Damn got hungry now - have to call granny on the weekend

Rahul Patil

Drool @ Biryani.

Fraser Colmer [Zephyr]

I agree Linette! I would also put an English Roast dinner out there.

Roast chicken with roast potatoes, vegetables and gravy. What I miss most about being home!

unknown

AHAHAHA Clever.

Bryan Trummer - ReleaseTEAM

Those fried dumplings look amazing.

Meg Holbrook

I need this in my life.

Thomas Schlegel

@Meg Holbrook - Come to Germany - you can get this almost everywhere here - but be careful, one piece and you can't do anything else anymore, just sit and relax for the next hour...

Thomas Schlegel

I would take

- a Tom Kha Gai Soup first

- Some Italian pasta with grilled chicken, spinach-cream-sauce and a lot of parmesan cheese

- Creme Brulée

and a Bavarian Weizenbier

Meg Holbrook

@Thomas Schlegel - I'm on my way. Save me a piece.

Scott Theus

After my pizza, my margarita, and my demise I want to cook my next meal with Anthony Bourdain.

Meg Holbrook

;-;

my heart.

Alice_vht1hx

This is a difficult question since I love food. But I guess my answer would be mom's spaghetti with her simple tomato sauce, you know, I'm just your typical girl from Italy. 🙃

Joff

Fred’s steak. You can only get it at Schaubs meat market in Palo Alto, CA

Hidden gem of the Silicon Valley techie crowd. Plus mash potatoes and green beans with garlic and butter.

Umm.

Thomas Schlegel

Or a bucket full of Nutella - who cares about calories on the last day...

Omar Herrera

I will eat a cheesecake the best one.

Fabienne Gerhard

@Thomas SchlegelNutella how could I forget that

unknown

Chilled (not baked) Lemon Cheesecake

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

My food tastes vary a lot, and I'm rubbish at building a meal where the courses complement each other, so I'll just go over the courses.

A starter of Mr Falafal's finest (Just outside Shepherd's Bush tube)
1847's "fish and chips", but just the fish part
The "chips" the Old Vicarage in Witherslack used to do to go with the fish (sadly, closed years ago)
Edmund's ice cream (Birmingham)

I couldn't work out a way to fit a curry dish in there though...

Meg Holbrook

Give me a five pound bag of pretzels, a bucket of nutella, and call it good.

Jonny Adams

I'd start with tenderloin tamales from Reata in Fort Worth, then gorge myself on the buffalo ribeye and the chile relleno. A Billionaire Margarita to pair with my tamales and a Fort Worth Old Fashion to go with my ribeye.

Half of that fried chicken donut sandwich from Do Rite Donuts in Chicago would count as my savory-sweet dessert which might do me in anyway.

Bryan Trummer - ReleaseTEAM

Now that's what I call a meal!

Allison Stolard

I would either do a meal of my Italian favorites (buffalo mozzarella on anything, lobster pasta, and a simple gelato) or a meal at my favorite Persian restaurant in Houston http://avestahouston.com/ its all good there... no dessert.

melody_vwyith

As much raw fish as I can fit in my belly.

Aidy Love

Uff, such a toughy to choose 😩
For starters, I'd have to go for a small polish soup called żurek, served in a bread bowl, ofc.

zurek_w_chlebie_01

For the main, it would have to be a kobe beef steak dinner with sides of fried vegetables, rice, pickles and sauces (soy / onion) all (slowly) washed down afterwards with a pint of Guinness (poured to perfection, ofc).

photo0jpg #honeymoonmemories

And to wrap-up with desert, I'd go for chocolate and dark cherry brownies that my wife makes with a great deal of TLC. ☺️

Omnomnom!

Marcos Sanchez

Surely I would go to an AYCE Buffet and eat until I can't ever breath...

Starting with salads, then some meat, some fish, some pasta, and finishing with lots of desserts...

Oh man, I'm getting really hungry while writing this...

Daniel Holmes

Definitely pizza

Emily Errico

Allowed to eat anything at all? Then I'd consume an Immortality elixir.

Unless it tasted like coleslaw. Then I'd eat as much macaroni and cheese as humanly possible, and then some.

Tinker Fadoua

@Aswin AchuthanI will go with Mild Chiken Biryani

Tinker Fadoua

I am in @Meg Holbrook anything that has some good crispy hazelnut is my favorite

Tim Keyes

I've had some amazing cacio e pepe in Italy that I would want to eat one more time, but my favorite meal and go to last meal would be a stir fry my mom makes with beef, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. I grew up eating the stir fry and it brings back great memories of coming home from school and it being ready.
