last meals, part I

| April 15th, 2008

The first post in an ongoing series of famous, infamous or otherwise notable last meals. (I was going to do a series of where my food comes from, but after a few hours of research and unreturned emails and phones calls on the various foods in my cupboard I decided to put the idea on hold. I should state however, that a lady over at Topco Associates replied to my email questioning what farm(s) the lemons come from to produce my bottle of Shurtime reconstituted lemon juice with:

Thanks for your interest. The product is packed in the USA. If the lemons come from anywhere else, that is marked on the package also, otherwise they are grown and packed here.

Very informative…

So, to start, I think I’ll go with a classic:

Dieric Bouts the Elder's depiction of the Last Supper

Menu for the Last Supper, 13 in attendance

  • unleavened bread
  • dipping sauce
  • wine

After reading the bible and looking at many paintings, it is my conclusion that they ate bread and they drank wine. Also they probably dipped the bread in something. 3 out of four disciples appear to agree according to certain understandings of certain translations of certain bibles: they ate during Passover. So, unleavened bread it is.
