More awesome stuff I like to eat:
Bamh Mi. Steamed pork, pate, picked veggies, etc. This is the KING OF ALL SANDWICHES.
Grilled Sardines. Very little is better than a nice fat fresh sardine, whole (cleaned and scaled, of course), cooked over an open fire. The meat is very fatty and the skin crisps up deliciously. Just a little shoyu is all you need, or olive oil and salt.
Honestly, a top "last meal" candidate for me would be grilled sardines, spinach catalan, and some nice flatbread. Simple is best.
Chinese Roast Pork (i.e. Siew Yoke - my pinyin is probably off):
Anyone know how to make this? HKC or anyone else? I've never tried but I'd love to take a shot at it.
Softshell Crab Sandwich.
This one is in my blood as a Maryland kid. STEER CLEAR of heavily-breaded softshells, they're covering up subpar product. A perfect fried softshell should look like the picture below.
The sandwich should ideally be soft thick texas toast with red onion and a little remoulade. A little cole slaw can work too, but preferably a really acidic vinegar-based one with NO mayo (I have my own personal recipe).
LESS IS MORE, the focus is on the crab here.
Simple Fried Whole Fish.
You can vary the fish species some, and almost all seafood-eating cultures have a variation on this, but the basics are the same. Fish + Hot Oil. No breading, no cutting up, nothing. The head is the best part (specifically just behind the jawbone).
Pasta with sausage and broccoli rabe (i.e. rapini, broccolini, etc).
This is the greatest pasta dish in the world....period. The fattiness of the sausage, the faint sweetness of the fennel therein, the bitterness of the broccolini, and the starchiness of the pasta. I could eat this until I explode and I make it often at home. Don't add ANYTHING ELSE, except maybe some shredded cheese (ideally Pecorino, IMO):
