Old Speckled Hen Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Today is my wedding anniversary and I am cooking a special meal for tonight. He absolutely loves steak and kidney pie ......... he's a Yorkshireman ........ so that's what I'm doing. It got me thinking ... If you had one last meal what would it be? not that this will be his last I would have a sirloin steak cooked blue with fresh english asparagus followed by warm home grown strawberries all accompanied by a bottle of Nyetimber fizz. Heaven He'd have beer so I could have the bubbles all to myself AND I'd have a cigarette at the end I've given up but still miss it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aga n Chickens Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Congratulations to you both DA Fom me it has to be a huge prawn cocktail washed down with a large glass of chilled Gewurztraminer (sp) wine, followed by a perfect steak and really chunky chips and a glass of Merlot, and finish with a devine rich chocolate sponge soaked in Morello cherries and Kirsh It's the old 'Berni' classic, but improved a notch or two.

ClaireG Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Happy Anniversary DA I'd have to have a fruit de mer with a nice glass or two of Sauvignon followed by a lemon cheesecake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Happy Anniversary DA! Would have to be steak (medium-rare) with thick chips and garlic mushrooms, onion rings and salad. It's my last meal got to make the most of it Pudding would be a good jam sponge and drowning in custard with maybe a few strawberries to finish off. Hmmm - think I would be feeling a bit after all that but it wouldn't matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Happy anniversary - I love most food, but anything I don't have to cook myself is a bonus! Seafood of some sort I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 A blue cheese of some description salad with pears and nuts, followed by a seafood pasta (love pasta) and then a sticky toffee pudding and custard to really clog up my arteries all washed down with copious amounts of wine.

Space Chick Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 This thread is making me really hungry. I want curry, chocolate and cocktails now! (I'm having Sea Bass and Salad for tea) OH said he'd want a nice rare Fillet Steak, chips and the marsala cream mushrooms that I sometimes do with steak.

majorbloodnock Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Moules frites for me, accompanied by a decent Chablis, Mersault or Montrachet. Alternatively, spaghetti in a seafood tomato sauce spiced up with some chillis, alongside a fairly light Montepulciano. In both cases, I'd follow it with a cheese board and take my pick from named growth claret, top flight Burgundy or a Barolo. On reading this, it sounds like I'm a food s"Ooops, word censored!", but it honestly isn't the case. I just know what I've liked in the past.

jlo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Happy Anniversary My mum's meat and tattie pie with lashings of Henderson's Relish. (Only those from around Sheffield will have an idea what that is but it is ESSENTIAL with meat and tattie pie) I really must get her to give me the recipe one of these days!

Looney Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Happy Anniversary! OOh now let me think....last meal. Hmmmmmm For starters I would have a really good French onion soup (with the bread and melted cheese on top) or prawns in their shells with salad. Main course....I too like steak and kidney pudding so perhaps that. Or a good curry. Oooh or a fish finger sandwich on thick cut crusty white bread with melted cheese and horseradish mmmmmm and chips too! For dessert I would have a bowl of really good coffee ice cream and really good pistachio ice cream. Or cheese. Decisive aren't I?! Not one to pop my clogs in a hurry!

chick wiggle Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 happy anniversary.

The Dogmother Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hmmm, you've got me fancying a curry now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I like the sound of almost everything suggested! Might have to raid the fridge now although a curry sounds fab..... Mine would be (bit bizarre) loads of dark green veg, broccolli (sp?) spinach, asparagus, all steamed with butter and black pepper, or anything with tomato olive oil and fresh basil mmm mmmmm Pudding, I love creme brulee or a really alcoholic tiramisu with strong dark chocolate. But really you can't beat fresh from the garden strawberries with a dollop of thich fresh cold cream. Finished with whole cherries in kirsch dipped in dark chocolate with the stalk sticking out of the top - I bought myself some for Christmas last year (and didn't share any ) Drink - would have to be champagne with a glass or two of elderflower champers thrown in for good measure. God, I love food! That'll be why I have a big butt then!!! BeckyBoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I love creme brulee Forgot creme brulee I'd have to have 2 desserts as I love this too As well as the champagne I'd like a good dessert wine. I rarely drink dessert wine but I love it. There's a vineyard the other side of Henley to us that makes a lovely one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Happy Anniversary for yesterday. Hope you enjoyed your meal! I'd have scrambled egg and smoked salmon on blinis, followed by prima verde risotto (asparagus, broad beans and other green veg) and summer pudding with clotted cream. This would all be washed down with a bottle of Bloosom Hill White Zinfandel, and Calypso coffee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
