If you had to pack up and move to a country that had no local food that you are used to (no burger chains, not even a grocery store with ingredients you are familiar with), what would be the last meal you'd eat before you move?

The dinner of the three emperors with vegemite and cheese on toast, a hungry jacks bacon delux value meal, and lots and lots of booze.

I live in Austin,TX which is a melting pot of many ethnicities, so "local" food means food from all over the world. *ahem*Chello Kabob with mast o khiar, gyros, cheese enchiladas with sour cream, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, topped by chili con carne, served with a 12 oz steak (well done,mind you), a caesar salad, sushi, won ton soup, and A&W Cream Soda. And if I can't finish it (while I am known for a big appetite and high metabolism..I'm not sure I could finish it ALL), I'd get a cooler.

I mean some place remote and isolated from the rest of the world. The population of the country wouldn't even know what the heck you just listed is.

A .44 Magnum with a side of bullets, and the prison keys for desert.

Caeser Salad with london broil and garlic mashed potatoes.

FISH STICKS!

Oh,I know..I meant bring it with me..lol. I'm not one to let good food go to waste.

If it was Indonesia, I'd ask them for a pleasant surprise, as long as it included no invertebrates or entrails. With their cusine ( a mix of Dutch, Portugese, Chinese, Inndian and Middle-Eastern) it would be guarenteed to be good. Any executioners with the forthought to ask what you want for a last meal take that kind of thing quite seriously and respectfully.

If it was Uzbekistan on the other hand, or some such godforsaken place, I'd ask for great big juicy steak with mashed potatoes and gravy. Though they may have no experience with the specific preparation, they'd know what beef and potatoes are. They'd be able to make it with just a few instructions (they're foreigners, not idiots) and I'd have my comfort food on the eve of my execution. In Afghanistan I'd just ask for a pot of really strong Opium Tea with lots of sugar and some Hashish muffins. Then I wouldn't give a sh*t what they did.

Egg Phal, or dinner at the Peninsula Grill. Either one.

I'd gorge myself for three days on every single type of food I could think of.

I change my mind, I would have Castor oil. That way, when I die, someone has an awefully nice mess to clean up!

:D

Fun answer: Pussy!

True answer: I'd die hungry.

Answer based on thread: I wouldn't move.

Steak and Ale Pie done properly. With Pub Chips. (Yes, it's deserving of capitalisation.)

Sheaperd's Pie with string beans and carrots.

Something in, probably poor, imitation of what kind of food they eat there.

roast chicken with all the trimmings, pizza, chicken tikka masala with peschwari nan and as many popadoms as i can eat, a few tasty toasted cheese sandwiches on the side, a whole rack of bbq baby back ribs (or two), a massive bag of proper British fish & chips with a pea fritter and some fried saussages, a bigass salad with some bleu cheese dressing, and i'd give them the recipes for some of my mum's best dishes too;)


i'll explode in their faces when thy fry me! :D

You're not gonna die. You're just gonna go someplace where they don't have any food you know :rolleyes:

my choice still stands though... i love food :)

I'd spends the day in a vat of Jello.

JELLO!

And Muffins.

MUFFINS!

I don't know, but I think I would just be curious on what this other culture has to offer. I wouldn't have anything special to eat, I'd rather go there hungry

Last meal? Something that would kill me before they could execute me. A thousand Mars bars, perhaps?

Bearded clam, of course. It might take me forever to finish.

Either shrimp tempura from Ho Shu bistro or the Licks Veggie Burger and fries. ^_^ yum!

Thats what I have when I eat at the "Y" !!! I love that stuff.
Served up hot and pink and juicy.

Very very long. About 2,541 courses, with the appropriate intervals between to recover.

Edit: Having now read the OP

It doesn't matter, I like trying new foods anyway.

It's low fat, low carb, and good for you.

Grandmother's meatballs and mashed potatoes. They'd have to be grandmother's, only she knows how to make them to taste the best way.

Fun answer: Pussy!

Damn it! Too slow :p

And its finger lickin good !!!

If you had to pack up and move to a country that had no local food that you are used to (no burger chains, not even a grocery store with ingredients you are familiar with), what would be the last meal you'd eat before you move?something realy realy crappy to make everything there taste good. Or A Huge Bacon cheeseburger. With fries and a xtra xtra large pepsi. With cake

Prime rib with gravy, mashed potatos, crab legs, and plenty of beer.

Either that or hamburgers made with ground meat made from the judge's family.

Chips, from the beach wrapped in newspaper

Either that or hamburgers made with ground meat made from the judge's family.

I'll buy that for a dollar!

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall Soup. For £108, it must be quite nice. For my main course I would have salmon because i really really like it. Desert would come in the form of a set of belgian chocolate truffles with baileys flavoured ice cream
