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.

Well, I noticed that we hadn't been blasted into oblivion yet, though sometimes it's hard to tell up here, so here's my menu. thlsmile

Caviar nibbles with Billcart Salmon fizz
Small fruits de mer
Foie gras with toasted brioche & Sauternes
Roasted turbot (maybe a bit of salad with this, especially if made by Georgio Locatelli)
French cheese board, including camembert with truffles and something blue and runny, served with port.
Pineapple Romanoff with a side of chocolat marquis.
Neuhous chocolates and Laudree macarons served with lashings of calvados.

That all sounds very posh Aurelia

The thing is - who will cook all these delights for us? Presumably everyone will be 'doing their own thing' and the chefs won't want to spend the last day in a hot kitchen

T?

Oh, a nice cup of brew always goes down well

I asked our elder son the same question. He grinned, (he and his girl friend) We wouldn't waste time eating, we'd go upstairs and make the most of the time we had left.

I realised how the years divided us, so:

Roast turkey or pork, supported by onions. Served with baby broccoli, baby carrots, roasted potatoes and peppers. A gravy made with the stock, roasted onions and a splash of wine, red currant jelly and a glass of wine. Followed by a nut, cherry and brandy laden pudding with brandy cream.

We'd finish our cheese and crackling (if we'd eaten pork) and quaff a liqueur or two, hoping to feel thoroughly satiated grin.

I keep a third of crackling back to eat hot, with cheese and biscuits.
Sometimes, I sprinkle a mix of salt and chilli before grillinggrin.
We should feel thoroughly satiated, sitting before an open log
fire. smile

What a way to go, eh?grin

LuckyDucky Sun 01-Nov-15 14:25:53

Thank you roseq and roses

I thought so too smile

When I read "what a way to go", I was uncertain if you meant my son's intention or our gluttony? confused

rosesarered Sun 01-Nov-15 19:54:04

Definitely the food, no contest! grin

rosequartz Sun 01-Nov-15 20:05:56

Yes, the food, most definitely grin
And the wine
Just think - no hangover!!

annsixty Sun 01-Nov-15 20:41:01

Absolutely no contest, our love of good food is a lifetime relationship, the other loses its attraction with age and as for wine.....

Slow roast shoulder of pork, hand end, roast potatoes, stuffing, apple sauce, sprouts, parsnips, peas and gravy. Pud syrup sponge with custard, drool.

Love tasty food especially when there's an explosion of taste in the mouth. With the amount of alcohol we would have consumed, we would have kissed then hugged smile

Or a CD with that song J'et aime?

A few hours later maybe the picture might have changed for the better grin

Alea Mon 02-Nov-15 21:45:11
