Last ever meal!

Scallops. Lots of. Onion and garlic fried in butter, half a bottle of white wine added and reduced to just enough to coat the scallops, which would be cooked very briefly and served on a bed of salad with a large chunk of fresh bread.

Or lobster. Or crab. Or giant pacific prawns (the ones no longer obtainable) served with aioli sauce.

Any seafood, really.

Followed by isles flottantes.

Don't see why Ana, my late labrador specialised in it - she had the idea!

I would have a seafood salad/retro prawn cocktail or crab
slow roasted lamb with pomegranate seeds
creme brulee or iles flottantes or pannacotta , or, or or......
all to be consumed with strains of Mozart in the background and with as my companions at dinner
George Clooney
David Tennant
Benedict Cumberbatch
Alan Rickman
and Bill Nighy.

But heaven forfend, rosesarered there are precious few pleasures left as I get older - food has to be one of them!!! (and as for the others, well a girl can dream.....

A very large bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate.

The best meal I ever had was at at a London Italian restaurant called something like ! The colosseum, in London.
I had sweetbreads ' animalises ' in other words, sliced veal testes, in a marvellous white wine sauce!
I would die to have it again.
It was magnificent.
I can't find veal testicles in England.
In France, they're called 'ris de veau! Smiles of the calf!'

A mug pot of posh tea (Assam Harmutty) and a date slice, both made by me because no-one makes them better than I do.

The best food I've had away from home is snails cooked in garlic butter accompanied by a lovely champagne cocktail. I was in love at the time. I'm sure that makes food taste better.

Galen is that 'roasted balls' ? I can think of one or two men I would like to do that to, such as Russell Brand, but I would feed them to Soutra's dog - no offence to your late dog Soutra.

Mine would be roast pork, roast potatoes, savoy cabbage, broccoli, red cabbage, yorkshire puddings and gravy. If there was room left, then homemade apple pie and cream for after.

Basic fare but it's my favourite.

According to DR Google "ris de veau" are the thymus or pancreas and not, as commonly supposed, testes or balls! Not sure what the culinary term for the latter is but it's not ris de veau.

Penstemmon Could I possibly have some of your meal too?

In fact I could happily sit in on a lot of the other meals

[piggy emo]

Gagagran if it was called ris de veau it would be a misnomer [calf would not have much to smile about.]
Soutra know what you mean about food [ we are supposed to get more food obsessed as we get older.] Oh well, labradors will eat anything at all, it makes them easy to feed BUT sometimes, yuk!Ours once devoured a flattened and dried out frog on the path, I didn't want to eat for the rest of the day.
Apple pie /crumble seems popular [and it is with me too.]It really makes you think about what food is your favourite imagining it really is your last meal ever.As many calories as you like as well. MMMMMN.

NanKate I am very lucky that both my lives are where my favourite cheeses are made too

I think Granjura I am more of a mature Brie person, but I do agree cheese is fab.

Soutra I have yet again consulted the rule book, and no companions are allowed at this last meal, so you will have to give them all back [to me preferably.]
Granjura how come you get 2 lives and we only get 1? Unfair or what?

but hey if the food is good enough who needs the companions!! (They might have wanted to share it... no way.)

rosesarered- I am not the only one on GN with a foot in 2 countries, I'm quite sure. Mind you, our DD2 has taken over our flat int he UK, so it won't be quite the same from now on ... we will feel like visitors in the UK now- DD2 in East Mids and DD1 in Surrey, with family in Devon and Norfolk...
so I guess we only had '2 lives' for 5 years ;)

HollyDaze. I am with you there. Love roast pork and crackling and as far as I am concerned you can have Yorkshire puds with anything - I just love them. Actually any roast would do me. And I love apple crumble and clotted cream/custard.

Marty - I actually sat pondering whether to make it applie pie or apple crumble and you are right, yorkshire puddings go with anything; to heck with protocol eh

I meant apple pie

thought we had a new pudding there for a minute Holly
