In the Christian tradition, today is the observance of The Last Supper. This question is a twofer:

If it were *your* Last Supper with your friends, and one frenemy, what would you like to be on the menu? Odd as it may seem, I'd want pizza, Mexican food, and French fries, all my favorite foods.

Also, what is the best/funniest parody scene you have ever seen of The Last Supper? I'm sure there are versions with Muppets or Star Wars characters.

Forgot, I would want New Mexican food in there somewhere.

@kimlockhartga

always a good choice. :)

if we're diving beyond the bounds of reality and into religion, i'd want to not have to choose. i'd want to be able to eat as much of whatever i wanted, as long as i wanted. pretty sure that would be my concept of an ideal heaven too. well, that and a killer acoustic jam session i could play in when not eating.

@paul_ipv6 I want to hang out in your afterlife.

@kimlockhartga

all foodies and musicians. what could be better?

@kimlockhartga

There's a great nod in the movie MASH.

And Suzy (Eddie as was) Izzard's take from Dress To Kill is brilliant.

@AspiringLuddite @kimlockhartga We can't ALL do big arms! 😂

@AspiringLuddite @kimlockhartga m*a*s*h is probably my favorite because.....its giving the dentist a last meal before he kills himself...DUE TO ONE INCIDENT OF IMPOTENCE.

men are the worst. HAH

@kimlockhartga Pan-Asian.

pot stickers
bulgogi
scallion pancakes
soup dumplings
khao soi
cucumber salad
unagi
so many things...

@DejahEntendu very nice. I could throw down a ton of Westernized versions of Szechuan, Cantonese, Mongolian, Thai, or Vietnamese dishes. I'm not well-versed but I'd love to try anything!
@kimlockhartga I’d go sushi, pizza, and chicken vindaloo. 🤤
@AppleFangirl much more balanced than mine.
@kimlockhartga Yours is pretty good too. I can eat my body weight in fries. 🤤😂
@kimlockhartga Mel Brooks' History of the World Part One has a scene of the Last Supper in a restaurant, and Brooks as the waiter keeps interrupting to get their food orders.
@kimlockhartga Oh! I just remembered when That '70s Show did the painting.

@kimlockhartga My version of surf and turf: a whole Chinese steamed fish and the best steak on the menu from a top-tier steakhouse. Side dishes: crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, bok choy stir-fried with garlic, and kimchi.

@kimlockhartga

Whatever the fare, I would want it to be something passed. I like the symbolism of offering your neighbor food.

@kimlockhartga Lasagne, garlic bread, green salad.
@sunumbral I can eat my weight in garlic toast, the kind where it's soaked through on both sides .
@kimlockhartga Monty Python had their take on it..

@kimlockhartga I'm on board with your choices, but I would have to add fried chicken in particular and soul food in general... ;>)
@wendigo oh yes. Fried chicken is anazing. I'm gonna need biscuits, too.

@kimlockhartga

burgers. so versatile. so handheld. so shareable. so accesible. there's a burger out there for everyone. craving a peanut butter & bacon with hot honey right now.

@saltywizard @kimlockhartga Cheesburgers is my vote.

Jesus: "The one who reaches into the communal fry box as I do will be the one who betrays me."

*reaches for a french fry*

Judas: *reaches for a french fry*

Jesus: "You simple motherfucker."

@DVWhat @kimlockhartga

i never understood why xians give judas iscariot (or the pharisees of judea, for that matter) so much grief. without his (or their) interference, yeshua of nazareth might never have fulfilled his 'destiny' to die on the cross and the 'sins' of the believers would not have been 'forgiven.' it would make more sense if they celebrated his (and their) contribution to their 'salvation.'

any apologists out there wanna explain this to me?

@saltywizard @DVWhat This has been the subject of much debate in scholarly circles. I'm no scholar, but I really do think everyone involved thought they were doing the right thing, and felt super righteous about it. Judas wanted to force the new Kingdom into existence. Sounds a lot like evangelicals today who want to rush Armageddon and bring about the End Times.

@kimlockhartga @DVWhat

i'm contractually required to post this image whenever someone mentions ARMEGEDDON.

@saltywizard @DVWhat ha ha ha!

I had a weirdo teacher who tried to convince us we were in the End Times . . . in the 1970s. Then he hit on me, so on-brand I guess.

@saltywizard I think it's called "wanting to have it both ways." 
@DVWhat @saltywizard I haven't had a cheeseburger in forever. It would hit the spot, even a faux meat faux cheese one.
@saltywizard holy moly that is inspired.

@kimlockhartga

holy guacamole, i think you mean. ;)

@saltywizard got that right. By the way, avocado on a burger is amazing. Once I developed an allergy, I learned to make guacamole out of asparagus, because I refused to miss out.

@kimlockhartga

that is next-level witchcraft right there. brava!

@kimlockhartga Lately my favorite meal is sweet potato fries with a Beyond Burger (the "cookout" variety, with mayo, mustard, onions, vegan cheese, and green sauce) so I'd go with that.
@kimlockhartga Iconic Battlestar Galactica one:
@mitten that is really really good. Superb lighting.
@mitten @kimlockhartga I remember this one! There was a bunch of theorizing about What It Meant in terms of the show's various mysteries.
@kimlockhartga
🤔 Pizza, hands down, and ice cream. Lots of ice cream.
@Sharonbw oh that's a great idea. I'm going to need a lot of ice cream bars.

@kimlockhartga

The State (incredible '90s sketch comedy show on MTV) did a Last Supper sketch in which their most (intentionally) annoying recurring character shows up and Jesus can't stand him.

@stevegis_ssg That's fantastic. I know people find it sacrilegious, but why were we given humor if not as a way to take ourselves less seriously? 😃
@kimlockhartga
I agree. I'd have all the foods I love that I don't eat because they are bad for me.
We live in a converted church and our friends frequently find and bring us tacky variations of the The Last Supper. This one is my favourite and we call it Disco Jesus.
