William Shatner<\/a> may have explored the “final frontier,” but when it comes to his last meal, the 95-year-old actor says the choice comes down to two earthly favorites.<\/p>\n

The “Star Trek” actor’s comments are making the rounds after The Takeout<\/a> resurfaced Shatner’s 2019 appearance on the “Your Last Meal with Rachel Belle” podcast.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Shatner \u2014 best known for playing Captain James T. Kirk in the original “Star Trek” series and later reprising the role in films \u2014 did not land on just one dish.<\/p>\n

He said his final pick would come down to a choice between Japanese and Mexican cuisine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I’m a real sushi aficionado,” he told Belle. “I really love the simplicity, and yet the complexity of Japanese cuisine<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

But he had to make room for another of his favorites, too.<\/p>\n

When asked what his favorite dish of the moment was, he said, “I haven’t had breakfast, and I’m thinking, where do I want to go for lunch?<\/a> I’m thinking Mexican \u2014 but sophisticated Mexican. Mexican with an expert’s touch.”<\/p>\n

Shatner later added, “Mexican cuisine is taking its rightful stage in the world, and a great Mexican \u2014 we were talking mole and avocado and rice and beans \u2014 I mean, a sophisticated Mexican cuisine is really good and healthy,”<\/a> he said.<\/p>\n

The Canadian actor expressed a growing interest in mole, a traditional Mexican sauce known for its rich blend of chiles, spices and sometimes chocolate.<\/p>\n

“Since I don’t know too much about mole, I might like to try a little chocolate in the night,” he said.<\/p>\n

The dish has come up before on the podcast, with Guillermo del Toro naming mole poblano as his last meal,<\/a> Belle noted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Your Last Meal,” a James Beard Award-finalist podcast, features celebrities<\/a> \u2014 including Neil deGrasse Tyson, Jenny Slate and Greta Gerwig \u2014 sharing their ideal final meal and the stories behind it.<\/p>\n

Shatner’s love of avocado, meanwhile, was made clear throughout his chat with Belle.<\/p>\n

At one point in the conversation, he praised avocado toast, but stressed that the bread<\/a> is what really makes or breaks the dish.<\/p>\n

“It can’t be too crisp because then it breaks, but it can’t be too mealy because then it just bends,” he said.<\/p>\n

He added that the quality of the toast is “just as important as the quality of the avocado.”<\/p>\n

Shatner’s preferences might not come as a surprise.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The actor has shown a long-running interest in food,<\/a> from sharing a muffin recipe featuring instant espresso as a surprising secret ingredient to appearances related to food and drinks, including ads for Raisin Bran, a turkey fryer safety PSA and his own wine-tasting series, Tasting Table reported.<\/p>\n

Shatner has also previously highlighted his love of Mexican food, saying once in an interview that his ideal day in California includes “lunch in a great neighborhood Mexican restaurant.”<\/p>\n

In addition to still exploring flavors across cuisines, Shatner remains active at 95, most recently touring with “The Wrath of Khan” screenings and live audience discussions, according to reports.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
