Somewhat macabre question
If you knew for certain that you were going to die within a week, what would you eat in the intervening days/hours, and why?
I'd eat a roast beef dinner the way my mom makes it, with pumpkin pie to finish it off; a traditional gruyère cheese fondue with real baguettes, made according to a basic Swiss recipe; the biggest brownie/fudge sundae combo I could get a local restaurant to make for me; really rich, real ice cream (no frozen yogurt for this week!) in various flavours including chocolate, chocolate mint, and burgundy cherry; Lindt mint chocolate and milk chocolate; a turkey dinner, with stuffing as my mom makes it and no brussels sprouts.
Mostly traditional comfort foods, in other words, though at least one of them is one I rarely eat; I've had cheese fondues perhaps twice since my last trip to France, and only one of them (the one I made) was done right.
