If you were on Death Row, what would be your last requested foods?
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 11:50 AM by ...of J.Temperance
I'll answer, say mid-thread. Although I do know that Lobster and Krispy Kreme's are already on my list.

Okay, I'd order:

Crawfish Etoufee, Lobster, steamed asparagus, creamed potatoes, roasted aubergine stuffed with black olives, brie cheese and spinach.

2 slices of Cappuccino marble cake, a box of Krispy Kreme's which would comprise of: 2 original glazed, 1 dulce de leche, 1 cinnamon twist and 2 maple iced glazed.

Dreyer's French Vanilla ice cream.

Milk Duds and 2 pitchers of Barq's - no ice.

1 pot of Twining's English Afternoon Tea and 4 sugarcubes.

Whatever I didn't get to eat, obviously I'd be planning on taking with me...see below.

As a side order, six cylinders of sleeping gas in order to put the guards to sleep so I can attempt to escape and one gas mask for me, so I'm not myself asleep, so I can attempt to escape.

3. Who could eat in such a situation?
But...i will say speghetti with meat balls and red sauce or linguini with white clam sauce...maybe half and half of each on one plate.

37. Quite a few. I can't remember his name right now, but...
one of the executed, who had an IQ somehwere in the 60s, is frequently mentioned in the "executing the retarded" debates for having not eaten his dessert.

He said he was saving it for "tomorrow."

21. No, they're not
Some states have a $20 maximum on the food for the condemned's last meal. Others say it's got to be a "reasonable" request.

http://www.thememoryhole.org/deaths/texas-final-meals.htm shows that Texas' executees have fairly simple and uniform tastes--hamburgers and steaks appear on this list with great frequency.

17. WOW
what a question.
Let's see.
First would be some steak tenders--medium rare from Zentner's Daughter Steak House in San Angelo.
I would also love to be able to make some of my own potato soup (it is the bomb I tell ya).
Probably wanna follow up with some Ben and Jerry's blueberry ice cream.

If your gonna go you might as well go out trying something new. So I'd get me some yummy chilled money brains. But then I'd hate to have to kill a poor friendly monkey. So I'd demand they use * brains instead. He's close to monkey as I've ever seen and he doesn't appear to need his brain anyways.

You can put an Everlasting Gobstopper in your mouth and you can suck it and suck it and suck it and suck it and it will never get any smaller!...

26. Fried chicken, fried pork chop,
and bacon. All in one meal. Stick a thumb in the eyes of the health police. Cornbread, cream gravy, rice, mashed potatoes, turnip greens, black-eyed peas, string beans, pickled jalapeno pepper slices, pickled banana pepper slices, ripe-red tomatoes, sliced mild onions, fried onion rings, green onions, cole slaw. Unsweetened iced tea, hot black coffee, draft Bud. Key Lime pie, custard pie, German's chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream. After dinner mints; don't want to embarrass myself in front of the executioners with bad breath from all those onions. Bushmill's on ice.

I could die happy.

33. A return to my South Florida roots
1 bowl vegetable beef soup, just like my grandfather used to make.

3 pounds Gulf shrimp, fresh, fried using my grandfather's recipe. 1/2 cup homemade cocktail sauce.

Side of potato wedges. 1 large Idaho russet ought to do it.

Mulled down shrimp in brown gravy over cheddar grits.

1 Key Lime pie, using fresh squeezed Key Limes (preferably from grandparent's back yard, but any real fresh key Limes will suffice). Graham cracker crust. Pie is not to be colored green. Topped generously with Cool Whip.

As many boiled peanuts as I can stand to put away.

Lots and lots of sweet tea.

Must stop typing, keyboard drenched in saliva.

Mostly

35. As someone who recently
Edited on Tue Oct-18-05 12:01 PM by tomg
( like last week) had a heart attack, I have thought about this quite seriously- and quite recently. I would start with mussells with lots of butter. Then Lobster with amazing amounts of butter, and new red potatoes ( I intend to be executed in July on Cape Cod), corn, both with the requiste butter. Oh, and I want a six pack of Harpoon India Pale ale. No butter, though, since too much is now bad for my health.

But this is where I would get them. I am deadly allergic to walnuts, as in if I eat them, I go into immediate deadly shock. So for dessert, I want a walnut pie. Then, when I go into immediate shock, that should screw with their heads a bit.

on edit: make that 12 pack

36. Anything that would make really gross barf so that my death
looks very barbaric and turns the stomachs of those who watch & support the DP. And makes someone else sick to have to clean it up. If they're going to murder me in the name of the state, I don't want it to be easy on them.

Of course, spaghetti would have to be there, I suppose, and really good cheezy garlic bread. Lots of garlic bread. And cheesecake. Not so high on the gross factor, but yummy, I think the last thing I'd want on my tongue before dying from anything would be cheesecake with some kind of fudgy chocolate topping. Damnit, now I need to go find some good cheesecake.

39. Having actually had the equilivant of one

Was the most surreal meal ever had, but my unit was going to be taking part in the invasion of Haiti to "restore democracy" back in 94.

On the day that we were going in, we had the best meal I ever had in my time in service, sirloin steak and king crab legs with a baked potatoe. I remember my dumb ass running back to my teammates with my paper plate about to fold in two from the food asking if they could believe this. Then one of my Sgt's brought it to my attention that for all intents and purposes that may be our last meal heh. I think I only got through the steak and potatoe, never could figure out how to eat those legs.

If I was gonna have a last meal, I think it would have to be a plate of cheese fries from Outback, Prime Rib..seasoned and seared, baked potatoe loaded with cheese and bacon and butter. Hell some bleu cheese for my prime rib too.

You don't have any plans we need to know about do you? :P

I don't think I'd be too hungry but I'd probably request a T-Bone, baked potato loaded (no bacon bits), garlic bread, and for dessert some delicious tiramisu. OR maybe I'd choose homemade spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and still tiramisu.

can they still kill you?
or if I wanted to stall some more. I would say that I converted to a religion that embraces canabalism and I would like a baby, it would be interesting to see how they react.(I wouldn't eat it of corse. but if you don't have much more time you might as well have fun with it)
