A giant asteroid will hit Earth tomorrow, it's your last ever meal, what will you have?
A mild chicken Korma, with peas and fresh sliced tomatoes with a sprinkling of rick salt.
For pud, apple crumble and creamy hot custard.

Oh I see! Thank you for that, I was wondering. thlsmile

Wow! We are here...... No asteroid! phew, and we managed to eat all our fave things as well, that's really having your cake and eating it.smile

roses do we send the collective bill, for the Gaviscon, last night's paracetomol and this morning's Alka Seltzer to you?

rosesarered Wed 28-Oct-15 12:51:05

Yes, send it to me care of Gransnet, I shall be happy to pay it. I have plenty of Monopoly money in the drawer.smile

I'm a bit worried about Marmight and her oyster allergy. Let's hope she decided not to risk them after all...thlhmm

I said to DBH the other day, why don't we eat oysters anymore? Looking at me in faint horror he replied 'Because you are ill if you eat them!' grin I suppose I hadn't eaten them for so long I had forgotten I shouldn't.

roses! grin

Glad that you all enjoyed a good guzzle, hope that no allergies kicked in, but on the plus side ( and after all that food, we may well be) we find ourselves alive and kicking.Just buy the new leggings in a larger size.grin

Chips, some more chips, and then some chips. Mmmmmm - not allowed chips, so definitely having them if there's no tomorrow to worry about!

TheMillersTale Thu 29-Oct-15 11:38:38

Every kind of ice cream made by Jen's Ice Creams, Gelupo and the entire Sicilian population. The old Waitrose banoffee ice cream which they discontinued and I have never forgiven them.

A red Leicester cheese, pepper chile and red onion chutney toastie.

Parmiggiano, eaten in big bites from an entire wheel.

A proper Southern meal- sun tea, skillet fried chicken, gumbo, biscuits, garden lettuce braised with butter and crowder peas, Brunswick Stew, Laner Cake, Baltimore Cake and Paul Prudhomme's coconut layer cake.

Sent from New Orleans- a Po Boy.

A Cubano sandwich made from real Cuban bread with ham, pickle, cheese. Pressed on the griddle, served hot.

A proper coke in the glass bottle on a broiling hot day. Ice, straw.

A marshmallow melt. Total sickly badass-ness.

Beef carpaccio from Harry's Bar. heavy on the Parmiggiano.

A vat of oxtail stew, lots of garlic, lots of carrots and mashed potato with horseradish.

I don't ask for much do I?

rosesarered Thu 29-Oct-15 12:00:52

Extra large new leggings for you then!grin

stillhere Thu 29-Oct-15 12:17:45

Ooh, oxtail stew... grin Po boy as a starter... grin

I suppose a little taste of everything is perhaps the best way. Wouldn't that be lovely.

Back to the diet. Sigh.

Razor clams
Blanquette de Veau
Iles flottante
Washed down with a bottle of Krug 2000 Clos du Mesnil.
if I am going I am going with a decent meal inside of me grin

TheMillersTale Thu 29-Oct-15 13:09:12

Yes, I felt dyspeptic just writing that Rose smile

KatyK Thu 29-Oct-15 14:41:03

I am always very sensible with my eating, trying to keep my weight down and be healthy. I can't remember the last time I ate a pie although I used to love them. Therefore my last meal would be a stodgy pie and chips from the chip shop and several slices of white bread and butter. Oh and mushy peas grin

Drummerman Fri 30-Oct-15 12:09:04

Full Roast....Wine with every course...Vintage Port...And a nice single malt

rosesarered Fri 30-Oct-15 18:15:00

Another giant asteroid is due to hit us on Sunday..... So,a last chance for anyone new to arrange that last meal, or revise your old one, I am changing mine for a really fabulous fish pie, peas and mashed swede, followed by plum crumble and vanilla ice cream.smile

annsixty Fri 30-Oct-15 18:41:08

Well as I ate the other one in the week I am going for;

Mushrooms in a stilton sauce

Duckbreasts with a cherry and red wine sauce with saute potatoes, baby corn and sugar snaps.

Eton mess with cream on top

Suitable wines with the first two courses.

Gaviscon for a chaser.

rosesarered Fri 30-Oct-15 18:43:22

I don't think I am such a 'fine diner' as some on here, with very refined taste!grin

Ana Fri 30-Oct-15 18:44:36

If I knew I was about to be annihilated, I'm sure I'd be too scared/worried to eat! thlshock

rosesarered Fri 30-Oct-15 18:46:13

'The condemned man ate a hearty meal'..........

Ana Fri 30-Oct-15 18:52:34

Yes, I've often wondered about that...thlconfused

annsixty Fri 30-Oct-15 19:02:13

We really are having the duck breasts tomorrow but no other courses.

rosequartz Fri 30-Oct-15 19:39:07

Just a bottle or two of wine will do thlwink
Then I wouldn't care or worry about what was going to happen

Other than that, I will be round at annsixty's house - but with a large bag of sprouts! And another bottle of Chablis and a bottle of something to go with the pudding. Plus some calvados with the coffee.
Then I wouldn't care at all.

Ana Fri 30-Oct-15 19:46:23

I'll join you and annsixty, rose - never mind the duck breasts, I'll just bring my own Chablis and have a couple of sprouts...thlgrin

rosesarered Fri 30-Oct-15 19:53:37

I'm thinking Christmas dinner now.....the whole works and for afters, Christmas pud, brandy butter and cream ( which for me is a no-no usually)but what the hell!
