LOS ANGELES — Music producer Benny Blanco has revealed that he wants his fiance
Selena Gomez’s corn casseroleincluded
in their “last meal.”
The couple on an episode of the Table Manners with Jessie
and Lennie Ware podcast shared that he would want Gomez’s corn casserole to be
added to his “last supper.”
“We’re big on casserole,” Gomez said, and explained that
it’s like sweet cornbread, reports people.com.
“It’s delicious,” Blanco said, adding that his mom used
to make her own iteration of Gomez’s dish for him, too. “It doesn't have the
same density (as cornbread), it’s much looser.”
He also said he grew up eating a lot of corn, especially
during Thanksgiving.
Gomez said that she loves it as much and will request the
item for her rider. She explained that she could eat a lot of it.
“I love (it), like, because you can make it the Mexican
street with all of (the corn). (That’s) how I grew up.”
Meanwhile, Blanco guessed what his fiancee’s last meal
would be, and said she would also include one of his home-cooked dishes.
“She wants my steak, specifically. I do like a ribeye,
and then I usually smoke it low for a long time, and then I sear it at the
end.”
“I smoke it in a smoker for like, an hour,” he revealed,
adding that it makes it taste like “medium smoke” and “almost like barbecue.”
He then continued to explain that Gomez is “gonna be
eating a bunch,” so she’ll want small portions of everything.
“A little teeny bit” of her grandmother's rice and
tamale. “A little bit of her mom's cheese potatoes,” he continued.
“One bite of Nana's chicken and dumplings.”
Gomez clarified that her grandmother was her father’s
mother, and Mexican recipes come from that side of her family. While Nana is
her mother’s mother, explaining that her Southern roots are from her mom’s
side.
