My Last Supper

Elena and Juan Mari Arzak
For Elena, freshly caught whole merluza (hake) fish would be the main course, followed by grilled txipirones (summer squid) with poached onion marmalade. For Juan, the perfect final meal would be flower of egg and tartufo (an Italian ice cream dessert) in goose fat with chorizo and dates, as well as one of the forbidden birds, a becada (a type of woodcock) or ortolan (a small finch-like bird).
