Your last meal?/Your Favourite Cuisine

Oh boy howdy!

How about some kickin' bbq with the trimmings
Tvlampboy's bread pudding. Oh yeah!
Home made pecan pie with home made vanilla ice cream
4 or 5 bottles of Westvleteren Trappist ale
A triple shot french roast americano
A good Alka Seltzer chaser. You will seriously need it!

Oh yeah, somewhere in this gluttony needs to be some "real" seafood gumbo

Wow my last meal? Hhmm......

My Daddy's World Famous Chopped BBQ & Ribs, Grilled Steak, Grilled Hotdog

My Mom's Homemade Stuffing, Butter Beans & Peas, Turkey Necks & Rice, Candied Yams, Mac & Cheese, Okra, Cabbage, Collard/Turnip Greens, White Corn, and Burritos.

I would cook my Jerk Chicken, Rice, Spaghetti, Carrot Cake, Sock-It-To-Me-Cake, Red Velvet Cake, and Chocolate Cake.

My friend Mehta would cook me Dosai (sp) and Samosa.


If you couldn't tell by now, I'm from the South. If you are trying to figure out how I would eat all that, don't worry cause I can make it happen lol.

Let me tell you, one of the greatest things about moving to the DC/MD/VA area was being exposed to all the different cultures. Different cultures bring different food. Now, I not only love good down home southern cooking, but I love Carribean, Indian, Philipino, Korean, and many others. I still can't eat African food though. I can't get past the smell of most of their food.

A woman after my own heart. Divatologist, I love you! (I love anyone who can appreciate the glory of turkey necks and rice, collard greens and samosas all at once!) No Thanksgiving or Christmas in my family is complete without turkey necks and rice and/or turkey and rice soup -- "Leftover Day" is always our favorite eating day of the year -- always has been! And nothing in the world is better than cornbread sopping up the pot "likker" from salty collard greens on a cold day!

Aw man!!! How could I forget my Moms homade cornbread. I can't eat collards without the cornbread LOL!! I just came back from NC last night with a cooler full of my Daddy's chopped BBQ.


Let me tell you bout dem turkey necks & rice lol. My maternal Grandma would make that for me everytime she knew I was coming to visit. I would come in the door and kiss her and my Grand-Daddy and head straight to the kitchen LOL! I knew that my turkey necks & rice was on the stove. So, my Moms kept that part of my Grandma alive for me. She always fixes that when I come home now.

Oh my friend Mehta can cook her tail off you hear me!!! I have tasted Indian food from others and from so-called Indian resturants. They can't touch her. We worked in a Dr's office and at the hospital together and we would always have the drug reps bring us food. Well, her and the doc don't eat meat and we would always get Indian food. I would make the same comment everytime, "Mehta this don't taste as good as yours." I would also tease her all the time. I would tell her, "You know what would make this good? A piece a chicken." She would just shake her head. You know she would always feed me and at the sametime teach me about her culture. No matter how little she brought to eat, she would always offer me something to eat. She even got me to eat green peas LOL! Her food can make you feel like you're standing in the fire cause it was HOT!! LOL! I love spicy food. She introduced me to Indian food and I introduced her to the sock-it-to-me-cake LOL! She loves that cake LOL!

I tell you I can eat anybody under the table. I looooooove to eat almost as much as I love to wear perfume. If I ain't careful, I'm gonna have to buy jumbo bottles of my favorite frags because I will have to much area to cover ROFL!!! The holidays are crazy. There is so much food. I would eat myself to the point of needing O2 LOL! You know how you eat so much that you can barely breathe LOL! There is soooo much food and you want to eat everything LOL! Naw, I ain't wanna those prissy girls who will only eat a salad in front of you. Honey, I throw down at the table. I LOVE TO EAT!!

Hm . . .I might be too bummed out to have a fun last meal. Perhaps a Hemlock Martini?

I therefore propose that, in the spirit of "Scent Synchronization" day and such, we should eat these meals ----- NOW !

Granted, we may not live long eating the kinds of foods and beverages we seem to love, but perhaps a life of California- anorexic nouvelle cuisine only seems longer.

Besides, I'm allergic to restaurants with pastel walls.

Well, it's a tough choice. Stone Crabs? I'd have to fly to Florida.

However, dessert is easy: I'd go with the Spanish delicacy: Tocino del Cielo !

Probably with espresso rather than wine----need to be awake for a cigar, afterwards.

Tocino is ' bacon ' in Spanish and while this contains no meat whatsoever, being a cousin to creme brulee, it's a most appropiate name due to its rich, arterial-closing properties.

Google it. It's a kind of super-flan.

In fact, if done correctly, it has about the same relation to flan as a great Port has to Ripple.

Damn, I'm gettting hungry. And to think I had Ikura with quail eggs at a Japanese restaurant not two hours ago, followed by more sushi.

*sigh*

Live long and prosper, you wild bunch of Epicureans

Cheers,

My absolutely favourite type of food is Indian/Sri-Lankan food.I love it really spicy and don't mind sea food as well.That would have been the maincourse.Not sure about the starter ...maybe some sushi.Dessert would have to be either Chocolate mousse or warm apple pie.Then some fresh pineapple and mango before I go for strong,black coffee.

My late father's spaghetti with red crab sauce, served with baccala, a big salad with parmesan cheese and Italian dressing, cannolis, and espresso with a little anisette for dessert. He was pretty well known in the city I grew up in for being a great cook, they used to compare sauces in new Italian restaurants to his in the critics column in the paper. My mother is, too, but she leans more to French country style.

At home, I love making big pots of soup and tomorrow I'm cooking up some Provencal white bean soup with tomatoes, celery, onion, garlic, chicken breast and herbs.
--------------------------------------
The best Indian food experience I ever had was at a restaurant overlooking Central Park in NYC called Nirvana, wow, that was good!

Shrimp, scallops, and salmon seafood quesidillas with sour cream/guacamole (with coconut scallops on the side).

Drink: Strawberry daquiri mist (no rum, substitute Bailey's Irish cream instead of rum) and also mix in some Marachino cherry juice.

Desset: French "croch-en-bouche?"

Mmmmm, that sounds great, too!
