Given that some believe the world is slated to end Saturday, May 21 in a spectacular event an American preacher has dubbed 'The Rapture,' here's a list of last supper meal ideas to whet your appetite and go out with a bang.

Harold Camping, leader of Family Radio Worldwide a Christian radio station in California, issued a doomsday forecast, based, he claims on biblical texts, predicting that the Rapture will begin at 6 pm PDT, in which God's elect will be beamed into Heaven. The world itself, meanwhile, is scheduled to perish five months later on October 21. Only 200 million - or three percent of the world's population - is expected to be chosen.

For the rest of the people left, here are a few last supper meal ideas inspired by celebrity chefs, as chronicled in the 2007 book, My Last Supper, photographed by Melanie Dunea.

A second, updated edition of the book My Last Supper: The Next Course, is also slated for publication in September - lucky timing if the world is due to impode on itself one month later, as some evangelical groups claim.
