Mine was going to be all about the steak until @marie-jay reminded me of ham!
I might just have a few bites of each thing, but these are the flavors I'd like to have lingering on my tongue as I leave this world.
Crispy fresh salad with toasted walnuts. A simple oil and vinegar dressing with fresh-baked sourdough rolls and real butter.
New York strip steak, medium rare, heavy on the garlic. Sauteed mushrooms in butter and garlic.
Then a nice thick ham steak with a side of mashed sweet potatoes drizzled with butter and sprinkled with brown sugar and toasted pecans.
I have to avoid sweets but for this meal I'd have a slice of baklava dripping with honey, a bit of tiramisu and a dab of creme brulee.
As a final drink make mine a Rusty Nail (Drambuie and Scotch over ice).
Now I'm craving all of these!
Hmmmm... I'm starting to think I shouldn't have gone down the "Last Meal", sounds worse than it is!
Anyway, toasted nuts are always tasty, and nice simple salad is a perfect mix! Steak and Ham... I prefer lamb to steak, but Christmas ham.... yum! I like the idea of a small plate of nice stuff at the end, and the Rusty Nail sounds like something I will try for myself (I love Drambuie, so it is a small step from there!).
I do miss having a nice after dinner drink now and then. There are a few I liked when I was younger - sloe gin fizz, Kahlua and cream, rum and coke. I wanted to like brandy but it's yucky to me. A Rusty Nail is a perfect blend!
Oh no, I think last meal is a good topic because there's no thought of going on a diet the next day! I would have made different choices if I was going to have to deal with the aftereffects! :-)
