Re: The Death Row Meal
I hovered around this one before deciding it just had to be Lancashire hotpot, the potatoes browned and crispy round the edges, with carroty and onions, of course, and flavoured with salt, pepper and rosemary and a little garlic. The lamb either lamb chops, or mutton, dredged in seasoned flour before going into the pot... ... A little splash of red wine thrown in as well...
The wine? Even though it's not quite right, it has to be Gevrey Chambertin if it's the last i'm to have...
Then Seville Orange cake, with Seville orange juice flavoured with a cinnamon stick... And an Oz muscat lightly chilled...
So, whatever happens later, I've had a taste of heaven before...

TD, two minutes in 'Old Sparky' and you'd be smoking plenty.
For me a fresh boiled (none of that sliced and fried nonsense) Black Pudding with lashings of English Mustard. Cup of tea and then a large JD and coke to finish.
Kill me now!

Re: The Death Row Meal
Oh, very well then. A large Dover sole with two filleted plaice, some lemon slices, flat fried chips and a small side salad. Salt and vinegar to taste, eat the lot then knock seven bells out of the guards and affect a miraculous escape a la Tango and Cash. They ain't frying me tonight.Gary the Enfield wrote:TD, two minutes in 'Old Sparky' and you'd be smoking plenty.!TANGODANCER wrote:Fxck off you bastards, keep your menu.

No f***ing sauce?Bruce Rioja wrote:Well, as I briefly mentioned on the post to which William refers, mine would be as follows;
Three pork & beef sausages (grilled or baked)
Two fried eggs (duck eggs)
Chips (Maris pipers or King Edwards)
Bread and butter (white, Lurpak full fat)
Rhubarb crumble and custard (one pint of, not tinned)
And to drink - tea (not much milk, no sugar).
Then off to the gallows.
You deserve what's coming.
Mind, an interesting point on the pork and beef sausages - If I was really pushed, I'd have proper beef sausages, the kind that I can't recall finding anywhere for about 40 years...

Bacon Barm Sandwich as appetizer
Then a plate of fine BBQ from a barely literate man from the American South.
Pulled Pork, Brisket, Burnt ends, Ribs, with corn on the cob, coleslaw, and baked beans.
( Or a couple of burritos from Mango Tango in Newton, MA)
A gallon of Ice Cold sweet tea.

Re: The Death Row Meal
Can I use artistic license, and have a last banquet?
I'll take the silence as a yes, so here goes....
Life has been cruel, so simple fayre is well off-reservation here. Last meals need to be memorable, if not for you, then at least for the bugger who had to prepare it. On balance, I'd want Paul Bocuse to cook it, Molecular Gastronomy is all well and good, but I want the Claude Monet treatment, not Damian bloody Hirst, when alls said and done .
Amuse Bouche:
Foie Gras d'Oie quickly seared in a pan and served on crisp white toasted baguette with a touch of fig jam from The Ariege pyrenees and a pinch of Maldon salt .
Wine: A nice small glass of Domaine Cauhape Folie de Janvier 2000 Jurancon to accompany.
First course:
Ortolan (first drowned in brandy) then made into a a Consomme en Surprise with a whole Perigord Truffle sliced into it.
Wine: 1994 La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Rioja Reserva
Fish course:
A lightly poached pave of Turbot with a sauce Nantua (Its important to understand here that 1) You have to rip the crayfish's intestines out whilst alive, and 2) you must then toss them into a hot frying pan and immediately flame with brandy. They must go in alive.) salsify mash, fresh Samphire and white asparagus lightly tossed in lashings of good butter, and Alba truffle. Go easy on the truffle, couldn't care less about the cost, they overpower.
Wine:1998 Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal
Meat:
Fillet of Holker Venison served with faggots made from its own offal, good rich jus made from oxtail.
Wine: Chateau Duhart-Milon Pauillac 2005. Well decanted. Whole bloody bottle too.
Dessert:
We'd have to get Simon Rogan to guest on this, but his Stiffy Tacky pudding is perfect for the flavour, but light to save room for the all-important cheese cours
Wine: 1969 Arnauld de Riveslates, Rivesaltes Ambre hors d'age
Cheeses: (all unpasteurised)
Ossau Iraty, Bethmale, Manchego, Roquefort, Tomme des Pyrenees, Berkswell, 3-year aged Gouda. Possibly with a little acorn-fed Iberico ham.
Wine: Finish off the bottle of Jurancon.
Now then, I'm just off to the cupboards to see if I've got any of that stuff in.

2 courses? I knew there was a reason I disagreed with capital punishment.

Not that you would be worried about the bill, but how much would us poor taxpayers be looking at to fund that little lot? I've never even heard of most of it. Need to have a think about mine now.Lord Kangana wrote:Can I use artistic license, and have a last banquet?

Re: The Death Row Meal
It depends.
Theres the potential £6k fine for catching and serving the Ortolan. I'm sure it being a public body, they'd have to follow the rules and fess up on that one.
Alba truffle comes in at about £5.4k/kg at the mo.
I have no idea how much Msr Bocuse charges out for his time, say £20K?
The rest (including wine) could probably be got hold of for about 2 grand tops total, so if you do the maths vs me doing a 30-stretch, its bargainous. They should offer the option IMHO.

Re: The Death Row Meal
Foie Gras, by the way, LK, is undoubtedly utterly delicious, but, like eggs from caged hens, is something I refuse to buy (though I accept that they're a constituent ingredient of other things that I do buy).
