You're about to die. What would your final meal be? This question
has long troubled Jay Rayner. As a man more obsessed with his lunch
than is strictly necessary, the idea of a showpiece last supper is
a tantalizing prospect. But wouldn't knowledge of your imminent
demise ruin your appetite? So, Jay decided to cheat death. The plan
was simple: he would embark on a journey through his life in food
in pursuit of the meal to end all meals. It's a quest that takes
him from necking oysters on the Louisiana shoreline to forking away
the finest French pastries in Tokyo, and from his earliest memories
of snails in garlic butter, through multiple pig-based banquets, to
the unforgettable final meal itself. Jay Rayner's Last Supper is
both a hugely entertaining account of a life built around mealtimes
and a fascinating global exploration of our relationship with what
we eat. It is the story of one hungry man, in eight courses.
