What would be your last meal?

Chef Jamie Oliver would make a big bowl of spaghetti chased with rice pudding his last meal. Gordon Ramsey, host of Hell's Kitchen, picks roast beef. Laurent Tourondel, of BLT Steak, says he'd choose a tuna sandwich with bacon, a Krispy Kreme doughnut, and a Corona. It's a toss-up for Lydia Shire, of Boston's Locke-Ober, who would order either steak or lobster chowder.
Fifty chefs share their last-meal cravings in photographer Melanie Dunea's book My Last Supper. Dunea, who asks these culinary greats what they'd do for their last meal, also photographed her subjects in a way that sums up their choices -- Tourondel is caught red-handed reaching for a glazed doughnut and Shire poses with a giant lobster.
It's not often a topic most of us consider -- what we'd eat for our own last supper -- but apparently it's a constant discussion among chefs who chat about food late at night over drinks as they get at some essential truth about one another.
What does a hot dog say about someone? Or fried chicken, a Coke, a scrambled egg, a cheeseburger, a steak? Perhaps it says that these trendy, sophisticated kitchen types who chose these items are pretty simple when all is said and done. Aren't we all? Food isn't just about taste, after all. It's also about memories and our longings for the sensations of when we felt happiest or most loved.
So, tell us: What would be your last meal?

Men's Health: A week's worth of dinner, less money
Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements, Men's Health
If the opening factoid of this Men's Health article saying that 64 percent of us guys spend practically no time preparing our meals is true, then we have some work to do. That's the premise behind why the magazine has assembled this amazing grocery list of a week's worth of food... for less than 50 bucks!The excuses we use for not doing the meal thing ourselves is not uncommon for some men: no time, and not a lot of money. Couple that with college and you've got yourself the perfect reason for Chinese takeout. However, what if you had the list (and directions) to prepare lean dinners that are high in protein and curb fat intake? For crying out loud, they even have a printable grocery checklist. No excuses anymore.
As a guy who has seen his fair share of dollar menus, I would love nothing more than to prepare rotisserie chicken with roasted veggies. How about shrimp fajitas, totaling 600 calories with over 40 grams of protein? If you're a guy (or even a gal!) who is looking for an excellent list of incredibly healthy meals, look no further. The best part is that the grand total is $47.96. Of course, some of you out there may not need this advice, so pat yourself on the back for being ahead of the game!
