READER'S LAST MEALS...Take 32....

The people at Randy Goat Radio used the last meal site as a topic on our radio show, and figured out the PERFECT last meal to make the corrections dept. remember you for years. Here it is:

From Mrpres...

Boiled Cabbage ( 1 Head), 1 Can Baked Beans, 12 Pickled eggs, Boiled Asparagus, Uncooked Pork Sausage, pickled Pigs' Feet and wash it all down with...1 Quart Prune Juice (freshly squeezed)

We all know what happens when one dies, what a mess this'll make!!!

Boris Kapultychinz from Racine, WI.


Fried liver with anchovies and lima beans.
One raw white onion.
One can of salmonberries.
Three crushed mint leaves.
One jar of chicken fat.
One can of root beer.
A scoop of plain vanilla ice cream with garlic powder.

SirDC from parts unknown...

One sesame seed H&H bagel, lightly toasted and lightly spread with lite
cream cheese, with thinly sliced Bermuda onion, organic cucumber, home
grown tomato, nova salmon (from a quality deli -- not from a grocery
plastic pack), and capers (dill is OK as a substitute). One US prime
grade, 2 inch thick 20 oz. steak seasoned with kosher salt and pepper
and grilled (medium rare) over charcoal and presented on an oval dish.
Mushrooms in wine and butter. Steamed asparagus with lemon and butter.
Two broiled Australian lobster tails with lemon (in those cheese cloth
wrappers so you don't squirt your eyes) and clarified butter. Hand cut
French fries (the long thick ones) cooked in lard and seasoned with a
dusting of paprika, salt and pepper. Heinz Ketchup. Bananas Foster with
Ben & Jerry's vanilla ice cream. Is alcohol OK if used in cooking?
Espresso. Ideally, the chefs at the Culinary Institute of America
would prepare this meal, on site, with the proper equipment and care.
Alternatively, I might go with chef's choice. You know -- surprise me.
Two iced cans of Dr. Brown's Celrey soda and a large glass of crushed
ice. Schweppes soda water on the side to cut the soda sweetness to
taste and for belching satisfaction. White cloth napkins; tablecloth;
nice cutlery, especially the steak knife; candles; cheerful classic
music (may use CD as substitute for string quartet). Thank you for your
interest!

Morganna in Indiana

A sack of White Castle double cheeseburgers, a bottle of Kahlua and a quart of heavy cream. A couple of shotglasses full of liquid Valium for dessert and I would be very happy to go.

New Zealand...

The Menu

2 Dozen fresh Bluff oysters (undoubtedly the best oysters in the world from the cold and crystal clear waters off New Zealand's southern coast) in the shell, on a bed of ice with lemon wedges, sea salt, white pepper and crisp buttered toast.

A bottle of 2002 Church Road Chardonnay with a tall flute glass.

A plate of mixed sushi and sashimi, California style rice- fresh wild salmon and smoked salmon with fresh Wasabi and sweet Soy sauce.

A bottle of Matua Valley Bullrush Merlot 2001 and a balloon wine glass.

A chined rack of fresh lamb marinated in garlic, extra virgin olive oil and Oregano. Cooked at 150 degrees for 35-40 minutes (yes that's all) and rested for 10 minutes before serving. Served with a mixture of steamed fresh vegetables and creamed potatoes.

A bottle of 1999 Leaning Rock Rise and Shine Pinot Noir with a cut crystal glass.

A freshly baked Pavlova (NZ Meringue) with lemon curd and a scoop of Hokey Pokey ice cream.
