Last Supper

My raving about the many virtues of chilaquiles led to a discussion with my bother-in-law Uncle M, who is married to the Sassafras Sister. The topic? What would you eat for your last meal on earth?

Uncle M had an immediate response to the question: A can of Spaghetti-O's, heated and with a hot dog sliced in. He'll have the O's with a grilled cheese sandwich made with sourdough bread. He intends to dip the sandwich into the O's.

To each his own, I think, though props to Uncle M for the sourdough grilled cheese, as that's also a house favorite around here.

As for me, I'm eating chilaquiles before I go to the great beyond. I will enjoy them with a Coke. JT has weighed in with a request for his Mama's guacamole tacos (good answer son, especially diplomatic with the Santa-season drawing near).

What's on your table for your last meal on earth?

  1. Ice Cream- the peanut butter fudge kind from baskin robbins or the germanchocolatecake from Coldstone. And french fries - lots of them.

    Do I win this game?

  3. It's either a carne asada burrito from Roberto's in Del Mar, CA or spaghetti al dente with homemade sauce!

    Did "jason" just suggest he would eat the prez?!

  4. Well, I actually do love lobster and I am fond of the occasional rich steak. But when I started thinking about this, I decided that the idea of a "taste of home" was winning out.

    If you ask me today (and since I'm replying today, this is what you get) I would say:

    chicken-fried steak
    milk gravy
    biscuits w/ honey-butter
    mashed potatoes (real ones)

    and I would skip a vegetable in favor of some kind of ultra chocolate dessert. With whipped cream.
