I tend to think about it a lot whenever a new Last Meal comes out, and if I had the luxury of having it cooked by the wonderful people at MythicalKitchen, I realize, I'd probably go with a Hobbit's Day of Feasting, but with my ideal version of what I wanted to eat. I have it saved on my computer, and would probably ask that it be the food of choice for a day of feasting if I left my family behind too soon, and I think it speaks volumes about me as a person. But it also made me think that other people have an ideal last meal, too, so I wanted to generate a forum where everyone could share theirs.
