Fellow food travelers and food lovers!
Here's a discussion question to kick things off for our group... imagine it's your last meal ever. You can have anything you want and travel anywhere in the world for it. What would it be?

Wow, tough question. I think I would have to go for something in South India, because I'm a long-time fan of south Indian restaurants but I've yet to make it to India to experience the real thing.
Rachel,
I also have not visited South India, but I am also a fan of the cuisine!

Okay, I love food all over the world, but I have to say my last supper would be a plate of Chilaquiles from a beach side restaurant in San Diego and a large spicy bloody Mary. I guess it would be more like a last brunch...
Hm... This is a difficult one as I'll have to have a number of meals :))) They will all be Mediterranean though. So, I will be in Provence, in an 18th century stone house with sky blue shutters on the windows, overlooking the vineyards. I will have a fresh lettuce, tomato, cucumber, green peppers aand olives salad, spiced up with basil and olive oil, little old cheese at the top. Then a tomato soup with croutons with garlic. Then zucchini with yogurt/garlic sauce; fried eggplants and red peppers in tomato/parsley sauce. Then the main dish would be chicken baked with young potatoes in their skin, spiced up with black pepper and a spoon of wine. Fish, naturally, bought in the morning straight from the boats, fresh and fried for the small ones. The bigger fish baked in a ceramic pot under a lid with garlic and parsley in tomato sauce. Dessert - creme brule, fresh fruits with yogurt and honey, pastry with vanilla and champagne creme. Finally, the inevitable cheese bites with the red wine. :))) All this comes straight from the garden of course, no supermarket food!
If I knew it was my last meal, I'd either have lost my appetite, or I'd enjoy every single bite.. you never know until it happens, but I hope it'd be the last one.

(If so, I'd like any of grandma's food ;P she's the best cook there is..!)
I would want fresh Nova Scotia lobster, and lots of it!!
Oh I second that! It's the thing I miss the most from home. Lobster here in Brussels is expensive and not as good. Are you from NS Nancie?
Hi Alison,

Yes, I'm from Halifax. It will always be home :)
I would have sushi from my favourite little place in Vancouver. Why? Because I love it (especially fresh uni) and because sushi is a meal that you can really draw out thus putting off the imminent death I assume is coming if it's my last meal ever. Make sense?
Capetown, South Africa. I would go to several of the ethnic restaurants on and around Long Street(Ethiopian, Turkish, vegan, Africa, South African, Cape Malay) and put entrees from each of them on to my dinner plate.
Easy since I've though about this for a very long time. Bread.. Could be croissants or baquette, but it has to be the best. Ditto for coffee and finally black caviar. I don't ask for much but it has to be good.
I'm torn between a sushi dinner, a BBQ/mashed potatoes extravaganza, or a plate of my mother's gnocchi al ragu. It's like Sophie's Choice, except I've got three kids and they're all food.
What a question! I guess it would have to be a big plate of my grandmother's chicken and dumplings with fresh corn and sliced tomatoes, and a perfectly roasted chicken. There might be better meals out there, but I think I'd like to go out with one last nod towards my family who gave me this crazy food gene.

And after reading Mary Richardson's comment, which included a last drink, I want to add the best bottle of Chardonnay on the planet (assuming I had the resources and connections to get it).
