I'd want to start with a fresh corn with she-crab bisque (from The Hominy Grill in Charleston), followed by some braised short ribs (Jerry's in Soho) and in-season tomatoes with sea-salt, and for dessert, i would want a pumpkin-bread-pudding with chocolate chips. To seal the meal shut, I'd have a cup of lapsang souchong tea and a burnt caramel with sea salt chocolate (from The Chocolate Room in Park Slope).
While i don't think ill of the branding, I do have a certain soft spot for restaurants that keep things simple, small, local. Blue Hill is a good example, as are Anissa and Prune. I think that something magical gets lost when restaurants/chefs become 'chains' and empires.
Hi, i love "maslyata" and grew up on them in Russia - my parents would marinate their own (and pick their own too!). Anyway, "maslyata" don't just mean "buttery ones" - "maslo" in Russian can be used for "butter" or "oil" - you would use "slivochnoye maslo" to describe butter as "slivochnoye" means "of the cream". If you had olive oil, sunflower oil, etc, you would use that word description in front of "maslo". I've always thought that the term Maslyata referred to the slipperiness of the mushroom - its cap is slick and slippery as if it's been oiled. And I think they're that slippery when you find them in the wild. I can always check with my Dad (the master mushroom picker of our family) to see if they're so "oily" in their natural state.
I have to say that I make a pretty mean grilled cheese, with Fontina/Gruyere blend, a thin slice of apple on a nice sourdough bread. I also like to do a cheese sandwich with a slice of onion and a slice of tomato as well. Perfect rainy day food!
Apple or hazelnut anything. Pies, tarts, apple coffee cake - I have just written up about a spanish apple cake i just made with Calvados. Baked apples or apple butter. I was thinking about trying to make an apple/cardamom flavored creme brulee or an apple sorbet, even though the weather is turning for the colder.
Ronnybrook Farms Plain Yogurt (not low fat - full blast, baby!) with a spoonful of blueberry jam. I also quite like farmer's cheese with some raspberry jam, but it's only the farmer's cheese that's made my parents' local Russian grocery store.
I don't like Sharon's Lemon Sorbet at all - and lemon sorbet happens to be my favorite frozen dessert... so... i don't enjoy haagen daz either - because it tastes more like ice cream than sorbet. Ciao Bella, is really good, I think... But nothing beats making your own at home! It's unparalleled.
curiously enough, i find both to be overly sweet, however, were i to choose, i would stick with Haagen Dazs.
i do, however, prefer to just make my own!

If I knew it was my last meal I would like to have prime rib, baked potato with sour cream, sauted vegetables and chocolate. Chocolate for sure. Having your family around will make it taste even better. Thanks for the contest.
I'd want my best friends around, and we'd eat steak. Really really good steak. Prime rib or delmonico with a red wine and beef reduction. A delicious spinach salad. Some interesting fruity dessert, like the orange cardamom roasted pineapple we had at Solo. Yum.
well, last supper would be on the beach, Cape Cod,served to us...
tacos for my son and a plethora of seafood, cooked all different ways, for my husband and myself...
with a delicious salad, and dessert of creme brulee, sundae or apple crisp for my son.
Salmon with goat's cheese and a mixed green salad.
With my daughter and wife -Porterhouse steaks, Potato salad and lemon meringue pie
My last supper would have to involve my dearest family and friends. Also, because I've been doing the low carb thing, I would have to have all of the starches, pastas, fruits, breads, and desserts possible. Lasagna... spaghetti.... brownies.... fresh baked bread with honey... potatoes.... strawberries.... yum.
I went to a special dinner where all that was served were "last meals." Mine would probably be all dessert - banana cream pie, lemon bars, chocolate eclairs and varied italian pastries.
The "meal" would be quite eclectic - but would definitely include jumbo king crab legs, a variety of very fresh oysters, a steaming bowl of Pho, a platter of buttery roasted asparagus, wild mushroom risotto, a rack of lamb. filet mignon, grilled Alaskan halibut, linguine with clam sauce, a Cobb salad, authentic tacos with guacamole, blueberry pie, lots of chocolate and of course, Champagne and Beaujolais. I'd want my Mom, sister and her hubby, my "love of my life" husband to join the celebration and my Dad would be there in spirit. And I hope I have enough time left to think of all the yummy things I've forgotten here... By the way, could the last meal please be at least a week long?
