Except for his pro-death leanings he’s great!
Lunch:
Werner Von Braun (Actually a distant relative on my wife’s side)
Or
J. Robert Oppenheimer
Long lunch: Robin Gibson (Mel’s wife)
Week in the country:Sam Neill
If Sam's not available then Mr. Mojo, so we could compare music!
So what's yer point?
In political/historical thought and from the "still with us" slate, I would have to pick Forrest McDonald.
Choice #1- Niccolo Machievelli
Choice #2- P.T. Barnum
The first so I could ask how he did it.
The second so I could learn to understand the concept of liberalism.
If it’s lunch you have in mind, my choice would be Auguste Escoffier — as long as he did the cooking!
I also yearn for the voices of my passed loved one's..........
Had to look that one up! You people are certainly expanding my horizons (and furthering my education!)
(28 October 1846 – 12 February 1935) was a French chef, restaurateur and culinary writer who popularized and updated traditional French cooking methods. He is a near-legendary figure among chefs and gourmets, and was one of the most important leaders in the development of modern French cuisine. Much of Escoffier's technique was based on that of Antoine Carême, one of the codifiers of French Haute cuisine, but Escoffier's achievement was to simplify and modernize Carême's elaborate and ornate style.
So ... what's on the menu!? Gotta let us know what you'd have him cook after digging him up from his eternal rest!
Half the fun would be having him surprise me with an elaborate luncheon menu...but not one that's too far out for my American palate. As my sister in law says, French gourmets sometimes eat things she wouldn't touch with her shoe.
He uses his great wealth to fund the extermination of the human race.

“If you could lunch with any person from history (living or dead), who would it be?”
I was going to say you but then I read: ‘have a week in the country with’ oh DEFINITELY you!
oooooooooooooooooo Hot FReeper gossip gettin' started here!!
I do love Letaka, you caught me. (swoon)
“Who would you like to spend such time with? Why?”
In this order:
Genghis Khan - because there is so much to learn from him on military strategy/tactics, organizational behavior, and human psychology
Thomas Jefferson
Chanakya (an ancient Indian philosopher who wrote several books similar to works by Sun Tzu and Machiavelli)
