Last meal
No one has ever asked me about my last meal, or maybe I have talked a bit about it with my best friend years ago (or did we talk about the one meal we’ll always be able to eat forever?). But, I’ve always had an answer in my head.
It’s mac n cheese. And it’s the one with extremely artificial yellow cheese. I don’t want the fancy broiled cheese on top of it (though that’s also good), I just want a bowl of well, that — Mac n cheese with the artificial cheese.

This is to pay homage to the first ever favorite meal I have recorded in my head, Kenny Rogers Roasters’ mac n cheese. I don’t think I can remember having mac n cheese as an adult, but the dish takes me back to my childhood, when I was the only kid in the family, and everyone, including my extended family, lived under one roof.
We go to the restaurant probably every other weekend, and only as I grew up did I realize that the restaurant was famous for its rotisserie chicken, I thought mac n cheese was the star of the show “. “What about ME???” — Says the mac n cheese probably.
I don’t think about death constantly (there was a period), but I was just prompted to write this because I love watching Mythical Kitchen’s Last Meal series. So I figured, I should think about it.
I also thought about adding tamago sushi to my last meal list, but that’d probably ruin the taste of mac n cheese. Hopefully, I’ll be able to enjoy an infinite amount of tamago sushi later in the afterlife anyway.
