Makes a great bedtime tea though.

So on the topic of food but more about the cultural significance of last meals.

Within that article a link to this ghoulishly interesting running chronicle.

I would have gone with Venn Pieagram

Or Vesica Pieces

Reading some of these...I can't believe I actually thought "That's not very healthy"

OK: another topic: I need some help. How does one cook Italian Long Hot peppers??? What 'erbs and spices will work well?

Googling gets you some irrelevant and surprisingly dull responses

[Lembach]

I don't see how I would have an appetite enough to care what my last meal was.

I don't see how I would have an appetite enough to care what my last meal was.

You wouldn't try to come up with a strategy?

"All you can eat buffet."

2 years later.

"I'm still eating it."

"You're clearly just nibbling."

"I'M NOT DONE YET!"

That reminds me, I ordered this recently as an alternative to regular pasta:

http://www.amazon.com/Food-Directions-Inc-Spaghetti-16-Ounce/dp/B005761IRG

A Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Alternative To Traditional Wheat-Based Pasta.

It was..."meh". Tasted too much like ramen noodles. You have to cook it about twice as long to get it al dente but overcooking won't make them soggy. And you definitely need to rinse the noodles, or the starch will make your meal into a pasty mass.

So it turns out spaghetti squash is pretty awesome.  Especially when you don't eat pasta anymore.

This intrigues me. How does it cook up? What does it taste like with a tomato sauce?

[Tripe]

I like spaghetti squash when somebody else does it, I can't ever seem to make it in a way that I like (I'm generally unimpressed by my own cooking but that's one of the cases where the lack of autoimpressiveness dips into active dislike).

Well they're not wrong about them being that, they just don't use real mango fruit in the drink, which is actually made of clarified Chris Kattan secretions (which, while being a good source of protein and phosphorous is lacking in Vit A content).

[Kete]

Maybe that was a warning?  And they did you a favor by stripping out all the vitamin A.

I hear a riff: ......"but not the concrete crap ones in this can!"
