I'm sad that nobody is really weighing in on the question!
Also the way I see it the posthumous poop isn't my problem anymore because of the whole being dead thing…so why not go nuts?
For my last meal I would probably go with my grandma's beef stew (so many childhood memories wrapped up in that meal) an ungodly huge platter of carne asada fries a hearty helping of bbq brisket, ribs, sausage a giant sushi platter (including lobster) and to top it off a coconut cream pie
@Thumperchick I have never heard of carne asada fries and I live on carne asada. I had to look it up on Wikipedia. Looks like I am trying them when I am in San Diego next month!
@Thumperchick@conandlibrarian I never realized how #blessed I was to have carne asada fries available to me at all times until I came here. Don't forget to try a California burrito too - carne asada, guac, pico, cheese, crispy french fries and (optional) sour cream all wrapped up in a gigantic flour tortilla. Pure magic.
I don't think I'd ask for my favorite food, or something I've had before. If it's my last hedonistic foray into food, I'd want a brand new experience. If possible, a meal from some fantastic chef that is nothing I would have ever ordered for myself - and hey, if I hate it? I won't be around to leave a bad review. ;)
Last meal? I'm thinking Arby's.. Beef & cheddar small size 3 curley fries (individual fries not order) 1/2 Mc Rib 3 sweet potato fries a Lobster Tail with Clarified butter 2 oz filet Minion 2 bacon wrapped scallops 8 oz crab legs with Clarified butter 8 oz of shrimp cooked in beer with Old Bay seasoning Small side of Burnt ends and 1 BBQ Rib 1 pints of Burlington beer company's Juxtaposition Blonde Stout 16 oz of Mexican Coke (real sugar version not the powder) small shamrock shake 3 small cans of whipped cream 1/2 a piece of Godiva cheesecake factory cheesecake a giant buckeye candy Stool Softener 1 pint rookie's darkside 1 pint rookie's root beer
I think that'd be plenty... There may be some liquid left over, but I think I tried to make the solids down to about what I could eat...
@brhfl Well could be worse... I could ask for a liter of Mineral oil.... But I came back cause I forgot one thing... In- and out burger 4x4 animal style. also yes, that will help the stool softener.
"Can we produce a menu that's delicious without foie gras? Yes, sure. You can also bike the Tour de France without steroids, right? Not a lot of people are doing it. And for good reason."
@joelmw I had foie gras for the first time here in Dallas at an awesome place called The Blind Butcher, if you go there make sure to get the pig ears. Just trust me on that. I had duck confit poutine with foie gras added (for an extra $10, of course) and it was heavenly. I now understand why foie is so beloved, especially in the culinary world. I remember listening to that TAL and of course it'd be better to do things that way, but we just can't so until we can feasibly do that on a huge scale I'll just feel a little guilty and keep eating it because I'm selfish.
@JonT I've never had it. Which is crazy, because both of my brothers have been professional chefs (one still is; the other just got sick of the business, but is an amazing natural talent in the kitchen)--and of course they've had it. The Blind Butcher looks fun. If they do gluten-free, I'll work on my wife to go there. We seriously need some more options for eating out.
@JonT I emailed them about the glutens. Answer in under five minutes: "Joel, We sure do. When you come visit us you will find that your server, no matter which one, will be able to help you to navigate our menu and effectively choose items that will be safe for you to eat. Our kitchen is very proficient at handling special dietary requests as well so don't be afraid to ask for a substitution if necessary. We take food very seriously. We look forward to serving you!" Now I start working on the wife. Thanks for the rec! And I love that whole lower Greenville vibe. Well, love/hate. It can be all yuppified, but it's still pretty cool.
I'm not all that concerned with the details of your last meal. I'm more interested in whatever the hell you did (in your imagination ) that put all of you on death row!
@rockblossom This song (Psycho Killer) is a bit of a credo for me. One relevant bit is "I hate people when they're not polite." An inconsiderate driver or rude coworker are likely targets.
@rockblossom Though, as long as we're imagining, I like to think I'd do something more noble, and human rightsy. I have no clue what that might be, but let's hope it wouldn't involve actual murder, because I am generally opposed on principle.
@joelmw Nah - for this thread it would be virtual murder, which (other than treason) is about the only thing that could land you on (virtual) death row choosing your last meal. I can think of a few virtual murders I might commit, though never actual ones.
@SIMBM That movie (and that group more generally) made up a good portion of my college soundtrack. Never saw it in the theater, but my family and several of our friends watched the VHS a few times. :-)
Is this a last meal or a final snack, or a real mother of a blowout?
Lobster so I would die from the alergy
People never void in movies... so it must not happen.
'The posthumous poop,' love it!
@brhfl The humerous posthumous poop...
Once again Glen makes more sense than @matthew, what is going on here!?!
@somf69 Yeah. Weird.
@matthew Breaking new ground with the puppet as the straight-man in a comedy duo.
My last meal would be a deep fried Glen.

@JonT You'll have to clean your plate, there are starving children in...
@JonT I now have an ungodly craving for carne asada fries.
@JonT - Did you order enough sushi to share? I'm in. Except the dying part.
@JonT but wouldn't you be worried about cholest- oh, wait

Last meal?
I'm thinking Arby's..
Beef & cheddar small size
3 curley fries (individual fries not order)
1/2 Mc Rib
3 sweet potato fries
a Lobster Tail with Clarified butter
2 oz filet Minion
2 bacon wrapped scallops
8 oz crab legs with Clarified butter
8 oz of shrimp cooked in beer with Old Bay seasoning
Small side of Burnt ends and 1 BBQ Rib
1 pints of Burlington beer company's Juxtaposition Blonde Stout
16 oz of Mexican Coke (real sugar version not the powder)
small shamrock shake
3 small cans of whipped cream
1/2 a piece of Godiva cheesecake factory cheesecake
a giant buckeye candy
Stool Softener
1 pint rookie's darkside
1 pint rookie's root beer
I think that'd be plenty... There may be some liquid left over, but I think I tried to make the solids down to about what I could eat...
@sohmageek Just casually throw a stool softener in there to really go nuts with the posthumous poop, eh?
@brhfl Well could be worse... I could ask for a liter of Mineral oil.... But I came back cause I forgot one thing... In- and out burger 4x4 animal style. also yes, that will help the stool softener.
It would have to be an old fashioned lobster bake
Followed by a perfect medium rare tenderloin steak
With luscious Key Lime pie for dessert
@mfladd This is the best one so far.
I would request… THE ANTIDOTE.

@matthew - Immortal gesture notwithstanding, Just so very wrong.
@matthew I see your NPR story about the tiny bird and raise you a TAL and a TED Talk on fattened goose liver. I'd rather be the Ortolan than a traditionally gavaged goose. But there is an alternative. http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/452/poultry-slam-2011?act=3#play

I'd pick something like McDonald's and a tall glass of milk, so I'd be in a food coma during my execution. Ah, now that's the way to go.

@rockblossom I was going to say, "one or both of the Koch brothers."
@joelmw Awesome move; one of the best concert movies ever made. First saw it in the theatre, but the DVD had more songs on it.
@SIMBM That movie (and that group more generally) made up a good portion of my college soundtrack. Never saw it in the theater, but my family and several of our friends watched the VHS a few times. :-)
