The Last Supper
What and Where would You Eat it?
Here’s a small post with the intention of throwing it over to you to fill out. I’d like to know what you would choose to eat as your last meal, where you would eat it, who with and why. It can be any dish from any country and for any reason, i.e childhood memories, romantic dinner with the ex 
and so on.
If it works out then the one(s) which stand out the most for whatever reason will go on to feature on one of my dinner services which I shall photograph and publish on the blog. The lucky winner(!) will then be emailed the photograph(s) for posterity or recycling.
Have a think and let me know.
Miles,
Oh my! I shall mull it over during the weekend. Very deep thinking required here.

vegetarian cannelloni
Tubes are stuffed with:
Ham, eggs, mozzarella, cottage cheese.
Topping of tinned tomatoes intensely cooked down with herbs and Lea & Perrins
Served with side salad and hot ciabatta.
It’s still my favourite. I know it sounds simple from the above but honestly it tastes incredible and is not to be compared with other cannelloni recipes.

Dave,
One entry per person!!!!!
Great menu though. Location sounds great especially during a very wet English weekend.

Miles,
It’s my last supper and I’m ready for a feast with all my loved ones and friends preferably here at home the garden lit up like Christmas, warm still air…. so think on a fairly grand scale here…
Gin based fruity cocktails
White summer seafood risotto with extra lobster and the tastiest prawns etc served with asparagus cooked until golden in a little olive oil and butter.
Leg of lamb marinaded in Indian spices and saffron, slowly cooked and very tender with a gravy made from the meat juices and yoghurt, served with sweet/sour Indian pickles.
For dessert, a huge croquembouche, an almond tart made with chocolate stuffed prunes served warm, fresh raspberries and a rose scented cream
… all washed down with bottles of Bolinger
For guests still hanging in there, smooth coffee and hand made exquisite chocolates and honey glazed pistachio baklava.
I must say this took a great deal of soul searching and even now I could add to it taking the best from French and Oriental cuisine, some I’ve had but couldn’t possibly tell you what was in it or how it was prepared. My most memorable meal was in Japan in beautiful surroundings, the food served in tiny lacquered dishes was weird and wonderful. I certainly couldn’t recreate it and perhaps it will remain special to me for that reason…. the bit that follows however, took no thinking about at all….

p.s. my penultimate supper, a crusty sour dough bread with creamy butter and a large tin of condensed milk…. Daniel Craig and a yacht moored somewhere off St Tropez

Cid,
Like it! Indian lamb and seafood risotto is right up my street, as for the last one I’d have to throw DC overboard first!

Miles,
I’m now wondering if I could have a condensed milk fountain along with all the rest?
If I make it through the night I’d like pork and apples, vegetable tempura and trays of the finest cheeses, bunches of rambutans and the last bottle of Bolinger I hid behind the fig tree

Cid,
Phew! If you win then I am going to have my work cut out, doesn’t anyone just want an omelette and be done with it?!

Wow! I have a special order leg of lamb coming in tomorrow and had it all planned out. I must rethink it now - well done!
