Double Dare: Your Last Meal on Earth
So I posted this to Twitter:
Twitter Poll: If you had to decide your final meal on earth, what would it be?
Which emerged from this post:
you know, if I ever get the death penalty for offing some bad ex boyfriend, my last meal will be exactly that. (Rib Eye bloody, plus taters and veg)
Then a lovely fellow emailed me from Ask500people:
Hey Molly, Just saw your tweet, would you like us to run your question on Ask500People.com? We could gather 100 votes for it.
And snarkily, after eating a really good steak and “hopped” up on Pike Pale and red meat, I responded:
So you’re saying if we ask 500 people we’ll only get 100 responses?
Double dare you to make more than 100 posts about what is your perfect last meal on earth.
GO!

A good old fashioned English Sunday roast! Roast beef, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, veg, gravy… Mmmmmmmm….
Right, off to the pub to pretend it’s my last meal!!
A local coastal restaurant called Meza Mare has an incredible Chicken Ravolio with Gorganzola served with a spinich, cranberries, walnut salad servered with a sherry vinagerette dressing and fresh french bread/olive oil and a fine bottle of Susan Balboa Malbec. Hmmmmmm….
Can’t get much better than that, honestly
A good sandwich. Nothing can beat that. Salad, meat, cheese, egg… It would naturally have to be at least as thick as it was wide, but nevertheless between two slices of bread.
I would like to eat myself. I think my kidneys and liver have been marinated very well over the years and could prove rather tasty……
I would have liked to eat every type of dessert that has ever been invented but unfortunately I’m feeling ill after picturing Ross eating himself.
There are so many good things that I have tasted through the years and many may have tasted so well because of ambience. But still, it being the final meal, I would like to try all these again and again and again.
- sugar loaf made by my Great Aunt
- fish sticks. spinach and puree made by my father
- the lovely chicken my mother used to make, with the applesauce
- the home made fries and apple sauce from my grandmother
- those wonderfull meals we had at our students house (NOT thos in the cafetaria!)
- the endless Wiener Schnitzels and Sacher Torte in Austria
- the Austrian beer
- those exclusive meals I had with some of my special customers
- those lovely meals I had with my wife and kids
- and many many more….
I would probably beat Death by dying first.
There is a great little place up in Beverly, MA called Tryst. I had the most devastating hanger steak, with asparagus and mash. Paired with a leathery gigondas and followed up with the house made limoncello and their phenomenal cheesecake. That meal has been very difficult to defeat.
Then, I’d give the executioner a noogie. Or Melvin Death, whichever.
Chicken would be fine…
Salmon, Sweet potato fries – a second helping of salmon. I do love dares!
pan fried (hand breaded) chicken fried steak, home made cream gravy, mashed potatoes, whole kernel corn with lots of butter and a little chili powder, brown and serve rolls, a gallon of ice cold dr. Pepper and a big slice of lemon pie for desert.
I don’t know what I’d want the meal to be but desert would have to be chocolate mouse with whip cream, mint chocolate chip ice cream and some fresh strawberries.
I’d have an all you can eat chinese buffet, that way I’d never finish and therefore live indefinitely … at least until the cholestorol got me
Or, a huge apple-crumble covered in custard… ah man, i need to go home
mcdonalds (pommes and burger)
Traditional Downeast clam bake: two lobsters, a bucket of steamed clams, corn on the cob, slaw, a little potato salad, washed down with lots of Geary’s Pale Ale and followed by a couple of whoopie pies. Ah, kill me now.
Maybe one big PIZZA with becon and cheese and then one cake like this one http://fruittart.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/lemon-cake.jpg
Sashimi, lots of them!
Lavacake is the only accceptable last-meal!
My last meal on earth…. I’d have to opt for the Kosher meal.
A platter of chewy, crust breads, cheeses and a selection of red wines.
Subway- 2ft. long, Melted shredded cheese on Italian bread, with tuna, lettuce, tomato, extra mayo, and extra bacon! mmmmm mmmm
I’d have my aunt Darlene’s broccoli casserole, B. Smith’s chicken and waffles, my grandmother’s pound cake, and top it all off with a massive bowl of Häagen-Dazs Banana Split ice cream.

chicken Shawarma
Boy Molly, I dunno…Maybe chicken curry at Sakuntala’s Indian Restaurant in Bloomsburg PA, followed by “pounded chicken” (ie tenderized, and with lemon) by my mom, then let’s see, my husband’s Cajun chicken, grandfather’s goulash, Sauza tequila and mint chocolate-chip ice cream to finish.
Ok, now I feel slightly ill thinking about that particular combo…
You know that food called getten I dont know if i Spelled that right but its really good meat that you can only get from kennteky
