If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?

[WarsTrek1993]

^So, what's your choice for last meal?

Tough one, but I'd say maybe: Spaghetti with a GOOD kind of sauce, some cookie dough Ice Cream, and some fresh Sushi. Wash it all down with some tea, earl grey, hot.

And then I'd go Sam Fisher and break out, just like he did in Splinter Cell: Double Agent!

 

[SPOCKED]

the last supper from Denny's. and a glazed donut.

 

[WillsBabe]

I doubt I'd be able to eat if I was about to face exection. Probably a cup of coffee and a pack of Marlboro. I gave up smoking years ago, but, there ya go.

^ Hey, the cigarette wouldn't kill you...

I heard a story once about a guy whose last meal was a peanut butter sandwich. He had a peanut allergy, and the peanuts killed him before the authorities could.

The only way this story would be better is that the Governor's Pardon came in just after; so he would have lived if he hadn't tried to get out of getting executed. That would be a proper Twilight Zone style double-twist.

I don't have a favourite meal; I'm fickle like that. It would depend on how I feel that day. Could be anything from pizza, curry, chinese, roast chicken or pork, or even a burger. Totally depends on mood!

 

[Deranged Nasat]

Ask for the broiled remains of the judge who sentenced you. If you're going to be executed you might as well play it up a bit.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Pot brownies.

I'm saying this only because I think it would make the whole ordeal a bit easier.

That's interesting. I would want to be absolutely alert before the possibility of never being alert again arrived.

"He committed suicide with a peanut butter sandwich"
"What!?, How?"
"Apparently no one knew he was allergic to peanuts"
"Oh my god. oh my god!"
"?"
"Then he couldn't have been the killer!"
"Why not?"
"Because the killer used peanut oil to cook with before the victim arrived!"

Veal parmigiana with angel-hair, a side o fettucine alfredo, mozzarella sticks, antipasto salad, soft bread sticks, iced tea, and a small pepperoni pizza.

After they give me the Big Zap, that execution room will smell like a grilled cheese sandwich.

Risotto a'la Amanita phalloides

They intend to kill you no matter what, don't give them the chance!

 

[Miss Chicken]

Main course - Battered Tasmanian scallops with chips and salad.

Desert - chocolate ripple cake topped with raspberries.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Chocolate ripple made from the biscuits and cream?

 

[Miss Chicken]

Yes, I love chocolate ripple cake. I am making one this week to welcome my son home from Brisbane.

 

[PlainSimpleJoel]

Main - seafood marinara

Dessert - Cheesecake

I've often thought about this

Why oh why?

I just can't imagine a situation where I'd end up on death row but I suppose I'd feel too sick to eat anything.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

I've often thought about this

Why oh why?

Most of the time we don't get to plan our last hours. If we do know we're about to die we are usually terminally ill and won't be eating anything or we are in medical crisis following a trauma and we realize that's it, we're not going to survive. This is one of the few situations where we could actually think about how we would like to spend that time, who we might like to see, what we might like as a last meal. I don't know if you do get choices to see people or not but the "last meal scenario" is offered to many it seems.

So it's interesting.. the LAST thing you will eat, what would it be out of all the world has to offer? It's a variation on the desert island question, only this time it actually happens.

 

[C.E. Evans]

An extra large supreme pizza.

 

[Candlelight]

All you can eat buffet. And then take my time.

Either that or raw popcorn kernels, assuming I get the electric chair.

 

[Lumi]

I've changed my mind.

Fried chicken, poutine, greasy pizza covered in pepperoni..... since I'm dying anyway. Might as well be full of grease when I do.

From Raising Hope: a good last meal would be from McDonald's: the McRib and a Shamrock Shake.
