Somewhat macabre question

[velvetpage]

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.

I would have the biggest steak dinner possible, with fried okra and corm on the con and baked potatoes soaked in sour cream butter, cheese, and bacon bits. I would have all sorts of seafood, from smoked oysters to salmon to sushi. I'd even try pufferfish. Yeah, I know it could kill me...but like it would matter that week! I'd eat it on the last day! I'd have buttery croissants or lox for breakfast and I would eat as many shrimp as humanly possible. Oh yeah, and bacon. LOTS of drippy, greasy, squishy bacon.

I'd eat a HECK of a lot of chocolate.

I like yours and Radar's answers. redeem147's got a point, too. I would probably eat even more beef than I do now along with seafood, lots of eggs and sausage and roast beef and steak and big, thick, juicy burgers. Lots of ice cream and pie and stuff, too.

Food.

No, seriously - food. I don't really have comfort food as far as I know. So I'd eat whatever seemed like a good idea at the time, just like I normally do.

Whatever I felt like eating, really. I'd just order/buy whatever I wanted to eat at the time I was hungry. Whether it's candy and chocolate, pizza, pot roast or curry chicken.

I suspect I would eat whatever I was craving. :)

hmm the Sunday Life section of the Straits Times has a feature on its backpage every Sunday (well, d'uh but you mightn't realize not having been acquainted to it) where they'll interview a prominent figure (often, an expatriate) and ask what their last meals would be. Most of them choose something really simple, like porridge or rice with soy sauce!

I'd go try that variety of sushi that kills you dead if it's not prepared correctly. The wife has forbidden it otherwise, you see.
