What would be your "perfect" last meal?

I guess that sounds a little morbid, but I mean to say that if you could design your perfect dinner of some of your most favourite foods, what would it look like? It doesn't have to be a huge meal, but I've put one together with some of my favourite foods.

NOTE: Seeing as I'm not directly making this meal, that would probably make me very ill afterwards, I don't have photos of all the foods on hand. So, I'm using photos from the internet with the links through to the recipes. If anyone has an issue with this, please tell me and I'll take the photos down (well, until they get written into the chain...).

Starters

Recipe here

I love chargrilled squid and Holoumi (grilled), so I was really happy when I found this recipe that combined the two. Just a small taster plate though, there is more food to come!

Main course

Recipe here

I love Crispy Chinese Egg Noodles! This one is served with seafood, but I find it best with beef or Char Siu (Chinese BBQ pork). This is pretty much a staple dish in every Chinese restaurant, but to find a good one is really quite tricky! If I couldn't get this, then a good Japanese Ramen is the next choice.

Accompanying drink

Order your sampler case of French cider!

I have no idea if these things go together, but I do love a good French cidre. These ciders are dry and not at all sweet, so if you don't know these and are normally put off by the sweetness, then you really have to try these out!

Dessert

BBC recipe here

Okay, I'm not a mulitple mains sort of person. I'm too small, and quite possibly by this point I will be pretty full.... but there is always room for dessert! Creme Brule is the best, maybe with a side of a sorbet?

Nightcap

Try one of every dessert wine here

Normally I would love an Amaretto or Drambuie or this great Cloudberry liquor, but if I have to go fancy, then a nice Eiswein is in order! A sweet wine from Germany served chilled, YUM!

So, for this week's entry. Design your perfect meal of some of your favourite foods. It can be like mine, with absolutely no care for if they fit together or not! It can be small or it can be a 12 course set!

Steem Basic Income

One of the first communities that I came in contact with at the beginning of my time at Steemit was @steembasicincome. As a beginning author, Steemit can be a daunting place. It feels like you are posting into an abyss with no ability to grow. Steem Basic Income gives you a guaranteed vote on one post a day, thus giving you a small but cumulative over time support to your account.

With this post, I want to help sponsor people who might not even have the spare 1 STEEM that is required for registration. So, when this post pays out, I will sponsor people depending on the payout of this post. Basically, I will round up the SBD payout from this post and then that will be the number of people I will sponsor. (So, if the payout is 2.3 SBD, I will sponsor 3 people).

Rules

1. Upvote if you want, it increases the payout and then I can hopefully sponsor more people.
2. Resteem is NOT neccessary, but the more people see this, the more the people will be likely to be sponsored.
3. In the comments, design your perfect meal!
4. I will be sponsoring as many people as this post pays out in SBD. Also I will kick in at least the required amount to round up to the full number. Winner is at my discretion!

Last week's winners

Well, it appears that a contest about books brings out lots of chatty commentators! Which was a great thing, I don't think I've ever written so many replies!

Last post payout was 1.981 SBD. So, 2 shares that I will be sponsoring. I'll do 3 again, too many great entries to choose from!

@mariannewest

Reading has been my passion ever since I can remember. I am pretty sure that my eyes are as bad as they are because when I was a kid, I read under my covers at night with hardly any light.
Birthdays and Christmas was all about books. I still have a lot of my childhood books I got from my godmother.
She lived in the East part of the divided Germany and I am in the West. They did have a hard time to get many things but books, beautiful books were plentiful. I loved reading them and having them around.
Actually, later I started reading Agatha Christy mysteries and always wanted one of those old English libraries.
That said, most of my reading right now is here on steemit and many of the books I "read" are actually audio books. But I am always tempted.
I have a little free library in front of my house and keep begging people for book donations. Some of those books I want to read first before putting them out there - but see above... Steemit = no time for anything these days.
Here are two books I am trying to get to right now (and 20 more in a pile - at least) One is from the donation box, the other I bought from the author, Toby Hemenway, shortly before he passed away.

@nenad-ristic

I am currently reading several books:
Robert Anton Wilson: Sex, Drugs and Magick by Robert Anton Wilson, since I really love his writing. If I were to guess, I don't think I would have ended up on Steem if I had not been exposed to him.
Anathem by Neal Stephenson - My fiction kick. A monster of a book, with some interesting and challenging concepts.
The Gruffalo by Axel Scheffler and Julia Donaldson - I have a three year old, so I am reading this often.

@kaelci

I'm in the same boat as @viking-ventures at the moment. Currently, most of the things I read are my own writings, over and over and over as I struggle to edit and perfect them and prepare them for the eyes of other people! :D
There is one book that I'm itching to read though. It's one I've read many times before, but you know, you get these urges to read them over again. The author is Roderick Anscombe and the book is The Secret Life of Lazslo, Count Dracula.
( Here is a link to the GoodReads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1123376.The_Secret_Life_Of_Laszlo_Count_Dracula )
It's a psychiatric interpretation of the classic vampire tale. First person, in diary-entry form, and it's absolutely mesmerising how the author gets you into the character's head, and allows you to truly feel for the guy even as he's... well, doing what he does. It's fantastic. I can't recommend it enough!

Thanks to everyone who submitted an entry, I plan to do this (as long as I can keep coming up with decent questions) for a while, so come back and have a go!
