Celebrated Le Bernardin chef and trout-fishing Top Chef judge Eric "The Ripper" Ripert heard of one man's quest to bathe his palate in flavor before an operation that may potentially rob him of his sense of taste. Read the resultant "Doomsday Menu" at the always entertaining Grub Street and use the comments thread below give everyone a l'il flavor for what you'd want your last major meal to be.
My choices? Just focusing on flavors rather than dishes, I'd want truffles, smoked bacon, sea salt, caramel, anchovies, as smoky a Scotch as I could find, black cherries, port, foie gras (I know that's not PC, but at this point, I'd make an exception), really gamey meat like goat, a rich BBQ sauce, 5-year aged gouda, and a braised pork shoulder. You?
