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.

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.
