Summary
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 tantalising 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.
My 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.

Totally engaging for foodie people
This was so much fun to listen to, brilliantly read by the author. His life based around food, with details about provenance sustainability and taste are so interesting and often so amusing. I might listen to it all over again.

A foodies adventure
This is the second book of Jay Rayner I have listened to and its equally as fantastic as the first. It’s a foodie’s journey through food memories to invoke those delightful moments we all cherish. The last supper was a great culmination and a thoroughly enjoyable listen.

Very entertaining and easy listening
Very enjoyable light read (I needed a break from heavy history books etc). Also gives some insight into his mother Claire Rayner’s life, which I found interesting, having grown up seeing her on TV. I love hearing Jay’s somewhat forthright opinions on all aspects of life (although his conclusions about gender/abuse in one section struck me as somewhat naive and un-nuanced). Recommended easy read.

I like Jay Rayner, it was good hearing the author speaking his own words
He has a great sense of humour and it came out with the usual dryness

Don’t listen dieting
Beautifully written; deliciously funny, moving and satisfying.
Thank you Jay, for sharing your story (and the stories of others), inducing smiles and tears, but mostly for choosing good butter and snails.
What a read/listen. Don’t skip by.
You’ll be sure to enjoy.
