Best meals to eat before you die

Depending on where you live, delivered pizza might be best avoided. It had come to my attention at some point that there are people in the midwest who think domioes is pizza, and good pizza at that. Just sayin. Can't speak for the martini, what are they, gin? I hate gin. My list of nottobemissed would not be very sophisticated, it'll be interesting to see what people come up with. nancy |

Are we gonna start listing favorites or not?! LOL I won't list a 100 but two of my nottobemissed would be: Artichokes w/Bearnaise Sauce Hmmm... actually, type the above 100 times and it could be my top 100 ! LOL Below is how I make the sauce to go with the artichokes. You can prepare the artichokes a multitude of times but I usually boil mine with lemon slices... Bearnaise Sauce 2 TBSP Red Wine Vinegar 1 1/2 tsp chopped Green Onion 1 1/2 tsp Tarragon 1/8 tsp cracked Black Pepper 4 Egg yolks 3/4 cup Butter, softened 1 TBSP Parsley 1. In top of a double-boiler (d-b), combine first 4 ingredients. Over high heat, heat to boiling. Boil until vinegar is reduced in half. 2. Place top of d-b unit over bottom unit with hot, not boiling, water. Add yolks, and cook, beating constantly with whisk until slightly thickened. 3. Add butter, about 2 TBSP at a time, beating constantly with whisk, until butter is melted and mixture is thickened. Stir in parsley. Hmmm... actually, type the above 100 times and it could be my top 100 ! LOL Homemade Yeast rolls Homemade Yeast rolls 7 1/2 oz warm water 3 1/2 - 4 cups all purpose flour 3 1/2 TBSP sugar 3/4 tsp salt 3 TBSP butter 2 TBSP powdered coffee creamer 2 tsp instant dry yeast Mix and let rise - punch down and place in the fridge overnight. Shape as desired, let rise, brush with butter before and immediately after baking. Oh my stars!!!!! |

That's okay, I see their cars once in a while even around here. Only a couple good places around here, too. Surprised me when I moved down here.

I don't know about you, but when I'm old enough that I don't have much to worry about, I think I'll try some "risky" foods that I've stayed away from when I was younger. Fugu (pufferfish) was the first to come to mind. |

I wish I'd known about this. We met a couple who were 'doing the Lakes' that year. I've thought about a holiday there for years, but will never get there again I'm sure. Just glad I got there once.

If not, I would want my final meal to be lobster with drawn butter. Oh and you aren't missing anything with the martini. An inlaw made one for me years ago, likely because they knew DH was in another room and they could get a reaction. I was attracted to the fancy glass and the olive. Well I have to tell you it smelled and tasted like hair tonic AND coming out the nose burned like heck! DH arrived just in time to see the results. I still don't know if his tears were from laughing or crying. Those darn in laws are always pulling stunts like that! |

Many (myself included) find it's flavor to be unique, exquisite, complex yet simple- not a taste for everyone but those who enjoy them, enjoy them immensely. Kev |

I don't have anything to contribute, just thought after my last response to Barb's meat-a-ball post I'd best pop in here quick to take a look-see... I think a big pitcherful of 2nis is the perfect ending. Uh oh, now I'm in deep doodoo. There she is rummaging through her knife drawer... yikes... Barb, what are you planning to do to me with your big cleavage? Hurry with that pitcherful, and don't worry about the olives, don't think I have time to chew. <g> Sheldon |

I had a gin and tonic once with a splash of lime and it tasted like exactly what gin is - juniper berries turned into liquor. You may have my martini I've had my share of good, bad and indifferent delivery pizzas. I've also made pizzas from scratch and also had frozen pizzas. I guess pizza just doesn't float my boat. I'll eat it but it's never my first choice for a meal. I can't honestly say there is anything I'd like to try before I die. I've had great steaks, mediocre steaks & bad steaks. I've had great fish and fish I didn't like. I've had crab and crab legs; lobster, lobster tails. All sorts of vegetables. All sorts of soups. All of the above with all sorts of sauces and/or cheeses and/or breads. My own personal *hell* [in the afterlife, not before I die] would be to eat nothing but iceburg lettuce topped with disgusting Thousand Island dressing from here to eternity Jill |

It is heavenly. If I knew that I'd have a last meal though, I'd probably want to eat all of the foods that I have avoided most of my adult years, knowing that they're bad for me. My worst meal of eating would probably be laughed at though :-) |

I make it in May and we eat it through the year. Rhubarb scared me for the longest time. I was told the leaves were poisonous. Strawberry jam always seemed to sweet and the strawberries seemed too stewed. Someone suggested adding the rhubarb. So, I bought some followed the Surejel recipe. The rhubarb smelled and looked so bad and I was wondering why was I trying this. It turned out wonderful. One wouldn't know there was rhubarb in it. Yet, the tartness of the rhubarb really enhances the color and the flavor of the strawberries. A definite must try for jam and toast lovers. Lynne |

To make it extra good, try chopping tomatos, red (or vadalia) onion and cucumber--mix with a little balsamic vinegar and olive oil--put this mixture on the hoppin john. Gives the dish a whole new dimension in taste. (This topping is also great on collard greens)--r3 |

Best meals to eat before you die
Wow, some of the food on here isn't really food. First I would like to
say that pizza from dominos or any other place isn't good, nor is anything from McDonalds. Martinis are amazing, especially with olives. Olives stuffed with feta is also very good. A great medium rare steak with a nice glass of red wine is also very good. When it comes down to it though, the best main course would have to be butter chicken (from an Indian restaurant made in a clay oven) with nan bread (plat bread, like a pita, but much better than anything you can get in a store). After that I could die a little happier. I think people in North America have the worst tastes in food and really the cultures in Asia have by the far the most advanced tastes in food. |

There are some foods that wreak havoc on my digestive system. They include citrus fruits and nuts. I think that if I were going to be executed and had a last meal I would pig out on oranges, grapefruits, Turtles and pecan pie, but only if I was sure they were going to kill me before the side effects hit. |

Salade nicoise in Provence on a warm day Good Vietnamese food (pho, beef salad, and so on) A meal comprised only of appetizers. (lobster salad in a martini glass, perfectly fried calamari, shrimp remoulade in a Creole tomato "bowl", etc.) Really good barbecue in a non-famous roadside joint. Preferably one that used to be a gas station. Bulgogi Fois gras in southwest France Well prepared lamb chops (I had some really good ones at Lonesome Dove in Fort Worth, but I've made pretty good ones myself. Really good sushi. Simple and fresh. A salad of lentiles vertes du Puy, garlic, minced onion, celery, lemon confit and olive oil. Truffled mac and cheese There are more, but these come to mind this afternoon. modom |

This thread seems to have immediately morphed into "my favorite things", *not* the "best meals to eat before you die". That would seem to imply things you may not have eaten before, but should try. Or doesn't anyone read? -- Wayne Boatwright ożo ____________________ BIOYA |

How could a list of places to see before you die be compiled if there wasn't anyone who'd ever been there ... how would you know it's worthwhile? Same thing with food to try before you die. Like, if you've never had this, have it at least once before you croak. nancy |

I didn't mean things that *no one* had ever see or tried, only a list of things you'd like to try before you die. > Same thing with food to try before you die.

Here's what he said: I have noticed in the library books which will list the "100" places you should visit before you die, or the "100" things you should do before you die. I was wondering what would be included in the "100" meals or food I should eat before I die. I have never had a pizza delivered to my house, and I have never drank a martini. He wants to know what should be on his list. Not your list. His list. nancy |

I obviously read it incorrectly...more than once. :-) -- Wayne Boatwright ożo ____________________ BIOYA |
