Mel's post yesterday got me thinking...I make no bones about my love of food. I'm Italian and food is like another language to us. We celebrate with food, comfort with food, find our way into each other's hearts with food, pass recipes down through generations, teach techniques, spend time discussing food, even shopping for certain ingredients becomes an event.
Food is one of my greatest pleasures and my biggest downfalls. Because I love it too much. Which is why I'm adding yoga to my workout routine today. (If only food didn't love me back quite so well.)
If I were dying and only had one meal left, I know without a shadow of doubt what that meal would be: spaghetti and meatballs. What would yours be?
Eggplant parm. Which, much to my kids delight I am making tonight.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I was gonna say pizza but I think Egg Parm too, as long as it's made right. A good Egg Parm is probably the best thing in the world. Well, besides puppies.
ReplyDeleteOnly one meal left? Ever? =o(
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking chicken breast stuffed with portabello mushrooms and rice. Or my loaded lasagna. Ooo, maybe this wonderful scallop dish I had in FL. And I can't forget crab legs. All of the above plus cheesecake.
That spaghetti in the blog pic gets my vote. My dad used to joke when I was a kid that I had a hollow leg when we had spaghetti & meatballs. I could pack away more than anyone in the family.
ReplyDeleteLast meal? I make a seafood casserole that is good enough to die for. And with all the butter, wine and cream that goes into it, you just might. Fortunately, it's also on the pricey side so I only make it at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHmm... my last meal would be a plate of gourmet sushi rolls. It seems wrong to want my last meal to be uncooked, but there you go. It's an addiction. LOL
ReplyDeleteOh man. This is just wrong. I don't want to think about a last meal.
ReplyDeleteThere's way too much that I love. A good eggplant parm, a well-prepared Lamb Korma or Butter Chicken, my MIL makes this amazing Chinese seafood dish...I could go on and on.
It would have to be homemade cornbread dressing, roasted chicken, broasted potatoes, greens (mustard & turnips)and homemade lasagna with turtle cheesecake and german chocolate cake for dessert.
ReplyDeleteMarinated and slow cooked over wood, Elk tenderloin.
ReplyDeleteOMG that's so hard to answer! LOL. I'm a total foodie too...I have to really think about this. It would probably be something I can't make, but love to eat...
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I absolutely love that line-- food is a second language. You're made of the eloquence.
ReplyDeleteI'm a foodie, too. I love everything. The greatest tragedy of my life was losing the ability to eat nightshades. No tomatoes. Seriously. I miss them SO much. And peppers. :(
Love any kind of corned or marinated meat. Corned beef, pulled pork, pulled beef. Love roasted chicken. Like, the leg off a roasted chicken is something miraculous, hot or cold.
Wow, such a hard question!
ReplyDeleteThere's an amazing Thai restaurant near me, so I might go with some tom kha gai and panang and Thai iced tea...
Nobody else cares that Moxylyn enjoys eating puppies?
ReplyDeleteRopa vieja and platanos fritos. Yummy. The only thing that could tie that would be fried grouper and cheese grits:)
ReplyDeleteStovetop Popcorn in oil with butter and salt.
ReplyDeleteAnd a glass of wine.
its not fancy, but its my favorite.
I'd have to say a seafood feast of lobster, Alaskan king and Maryland blue crabs, giant prawns, and assorted sashimi. I have a big appetite and it would require a lot to fill me up...last meal or not! :)
ReplyDeleteOh, man, I forgot crab cakes, lobster, ropa vieja, my grandma's rice and beans...I could go on and on.
ReplyDeleteMedium Rare filet, loaded baked potato, with a side of cheese dip and guacamole because, well, I love them.
