Maybe 'lunch' is not the best of ideas, so I would change this to a 'have a week in the country with' so that you have some real time together and I'd also add to the rules, and you can't change history either by meeting with this person ... this is just chit-chat opportunity. There are people in my personal life that I miss so much and would love to be with again (the usual suspects ... gramma, uncle, cousin ...) and then there are those that it would take a fictional situation such as this to address ... a son I'd lost at 9 months pregnant, family members who died a long time ago that I never met but hear about all the time and whom I admire greatly. But from history? Or the headlines? I'd like to be with Winston Churchill or Princess Diana(I know. I know. I've got a lot of chutzpah asking for a week's audience schlepping about with these people! LOL) But if you're going to dream ... why not dream big?

Who would you like to spend such time with? Why? Just a Sunday daydream ...

A common unnoticeable person who was a settler in the New World from the year 1700. I wonder if we could understand the same English. And I would love to spend time with an ordinary person who left St. Louis for the West via the Oregon Trail.

Hegel. He was much better explaining his stuff in conversation than in his mystical mumbo-jumbo books. Kant was more entertaining, though.

Hmm...my first choice, Ben Franklin, has been taken. Mark Twain, maybe. Bertrand Russell. Will Rogers. Ibn Khaldun. Erasmus of Rotterdam. Catherine the Great. Niccolo Machiavelli. Buffalo Bill Cody. Maria Theresa. Oscar Wilde after his prison sentence. Edmund Burke.

A week in the country? Lucrezia Borgia. All that stuff about her poisoning people was a lot of hooey. I - AAACK! (Clutches throat, falls to floor...)
