What is that fish that can kill you if you eat it? I know it is big in Japan and I seem to remember that I read something that said 5 out of a hundred people who eat are paralized or die?!?!?! Anyway, perhaps I would try that, because apparently the taste is heavenly and at that point there really is no risk factor!

It's called «Fugu».

Fugu is a fish contains deadly poison in the organs. Despite of the risk, fugu dishes remain as special feasts in Japan. Even the milt is considered as a great delicacy.

You're right, Kimmie. We really DID get off topic here. It was a very slippery slope...

In restaurants where fugu is serve every time someone drop a chopstick all the clients stop eating, the fugu poison can paralyse you in seconds, once the chopstick is picked up everyone has a good laugh.

Must get tiresome after a while

Folks, any meal could be your last. Think about it. Therefore, enjoy every bite!

Truer than true, Mezz.

My last meal would have to be a smidge and a schmear of every beloved dairy product that I try so hard to minimize. Oh, macaroni and cheese, where is thy sting?

Folks I am living proof of the truth of this statement.

With that in mind though, if I knew it was my last, I'd have a bite off all your plates. That would probably be enough. If I couldn't I would have for starters

A plate of Lobster meat, Alaskan King Crab and Maryland Blue Crab with drawn butter, Old Bay and cider vinegar.

Duck Confit with a side of Boardwalk fries with salt and cider vinegar.

Strawberry Lime Sorbet as an intermezzo

Tournedos Rossini with Risotto Milanese drowned in Truffles. Roasted Asparagus with garlic.

And for dessert Crepes Suzette

After B&B with Chocolate Truffles

To wash it all down a 1942, 1943, 1944, or 1945 Petrus
and a 1975 Chateau D'Yquem

I wish to be cremated. Anyone want to smell that barbeque?

A cold Iron City beer to wash it down , even though I don't really drink... but I'm from Pittsburgh, so go figure!
