Lunch with who?

[Grub]

I think I'd like a long, slow, multi-course dinner with Escoffier and Ron Popeil. Imagine the conversation. It'd rule. I think I'd want some Thai or Indian food for that one. Escoffier fiddled around with canning and suchlike I think, innovating thing. I would expect Popeil to show Escoffier that "Hair in a spraycan" thing he's got, to cover up bald spots -- I can visualize Escoffier declaring Popeil a genius over that one.

And then a late night snack with Ingrid Newkirk and Hitler. Just some peanuts and celery sticks, I expect -- and we'd get stoned and watch Iron Chef together, and they could explain that vegetarianism thing to me.

Nice Grub, Hitler is always the popular choice.. You psycho

Like jsolomon I would choose Thomas Jefferson and Julia Child. But since their invitations are already in the mail I'd love to invite Napoleon and Paula Wolfert.

I'd go for Jefferson too, but with Ben Franklin and lots of beer.

Scratch that, I think Nigella and Giada, but they'd have to be naked.

The chef at my favorite Indian restaurant and an interpreter.

My dream is actually a bit more involved. I'd like my favorite boyfriend and my mom to go marketing together and then come home and MAKE lunch with me. #1 boy has been waiting around for over 20 years, but, sadly, we met just after Mommy's passing. Still, he's the best of the bunch, and he and Mommy would have been great close buddies, especially in the kitchen.

I'm feeling like being entertained, so Vincent Price and Danny Kaye.

[TarteTatin]

Elizabeth David

and

my husband

[Carrot Top]

Roald Dahl and Apicius.

And I am in full in agreement with pork in specifying the addendum he added to his post.

They would have to be naked.

What fun!

Hmmmm, Nigella would be a charming companion, I am sure: I think I would have the most fun with her and Anthony Bourdain (both clothed). However, I would also love Margaret Visser, Alice Waters, Ruth Reichl, and for non food types, throw Sarah Vowel and Jon Stewart in there.

I know, its more than two, but I can't help it. My fantasties are running away with me.

I would like to share a meal with Lulu Peyraud and Richard Olney. Sitting in the Provencal sun and sipping the beautiful Bandol.
