Starter, main, dessert and drink.

i’d go with bruschetta with mozzarella to start with, fish and chips for main, chocolate mousse for dessert and a spiced rum and coke to drink

Here's a playlist of, "Saddest Last Suppers Of Historical Figures" by Big Nibbles on Youtube. They're all just shorts so don't take too much time up. Hope you like!

Starter crusty bread with butter and creamy vegetable soup.
Main would be mashed potato, sausages and beans
Dessert would be Christmas pudding with custard and a glass of white grape shloer

Starter: pan seared scallops with pancetta, garden peas and basil oil. Celeriac purée

Main: surf and turf: medium rare fillet steak, lobster tail, drawn butter, bernaise sauce, frites AND creamy mash, caesar salad on the side

Dessert: passion fruit semifreddo with torched Italian meringue and cherry sorbet. Chantilly cream on the side and white chocolate shavings. Cherry and peach salsa.

To drink: a really nice albarino with the starter, tempranillo with the steak, a gin sour and a macchiato alongside the dessert.

Are you conflating Desert Island Discs with death row execution OP? 😄

That's what I was wondering! Last meal is a death row thing. Desert Island Discs you get one luxury to have.

BCBird · 18/04/2025 19:22

No starter. Main roast pork, stuffing, roast potatoes, mash, peas, carrots, cabbage and gravy. Pudding apple and sultana crumble with cinnamon. Custard not ice cream. Yummy. Shame i can't eat this.

TooFancyNancy · 18/04/2025 19:15

Starter- charcuterie board (salami, prosciutto, sundried tomatoes, black olives etc)

Main- chicken Caesar salad (with extra dressing on the side) with a side of chunky chips.

Desert- passion fruit pavlova or a custard slice

Drink- huge ice cold Pepsi max with tons of ice

RabbitsRock · 18/04/2025 19:15

Do you mean before you’re rescued OP?

RaspberryBeretxx · 18/04/2025 19:13

I'd go with smoked fish to start, maybe smoked salmon on sourdough roast.

Then a selection of Chinese food for main.

And for pudding a chocolate ganache or cheesecake of some sort 🤔.

I'd drink champagne throughout.

For dessert - Zabaione

Can I have a cheeseboard as well please? Yes, I am very greedy.
