View Full Version : Last Meal
So I was reading an article (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/08/22/texas.execution.reut/index.html)recently, and it got me thinking . . . what would you want for your last meal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_meal)?
Like a large proportion of people executed, I don't think I could handle any food on the day.
The most common request in America is chicken.
THIS (http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/deathrow.htm) site used to have a list of last meal requests, but I cant find it anymore. Grim reading there, especialy the last statements.
*edit* Is there any way to search the subsim archive? *edit2* figured it out.
An all-you-can-eat buffett.
Did I just find a loop hole in the system? :shifty:

You mean "Horatio"? I tend to agree. Miami is my least favorite, with Vegas and NY in the #1 and #2 slots respectively.

Getting OT here but what I can't stand about so many of these drama shows is the distractions from the professions being portrayed, to introduce some stupid plot about this one's sister/brother/son/daughter/whatever.
Just imagine had we been dragged through Perry Mason asking Della Street out to dinner, only to find out that she's been secretly dating Hamilton Burger, who's managed to get Stella to reveal some of Mason's office secrets. Oh, and of course, the cops arrest Paul Drake, 'cause that ain't pipe tobacco he was caught smoking. :roll: Of course, Drake explains that he's having chemo treatment and there's no other way he can find relief from the side effects. :roll:
Check sig, multiply by 12.
...and in a further twist, the dealer that sold Paul Drake the "medicinal weed" ends up dead of a gunshot wound to the chest...adding to Drake's troubles ... meanwhile back at the local bar...

The most common request in America is chicken.
I think people can figure out why...:lol:
errr...because of the large proportion of Afro-American and Hispanic people on death-row that have a cultural background in which chicken is oftern preferd other other meats, unlike those of Euro-Caucasian origin who tend to prefer beef products.
....is that what your laughing at?! :huh:

If I was to be executed, I'd try to maximize inconvenience for my captors by ordering something outrageously expensive and hard-to-find. Preferrably something that made me sick as a dog, too, with diarrhea and whatever else, for the sake of the poor bastards given autopsy duty.
It'd make me a prisoner it'd take them a while to forget:arrgh!:.

I remember a photo series done that showed what 30 different death row inmates ate before their execution. It was interesting to see what some had. One had a tub of ice cream, another had a hotdogs (what meat would that come under? Mystery meat?) the weidest was a pair of twinkies!:huh:
I think I would be trying to avoid being in need of a last meal if you ask me!
I think that the most popular dish on death row is Cheesburgers, fries and a coke. Not bad, really.
For me, if they're going to presume to kill me, then they gotta work for it.
1. Champagne (expensive)
2. A nice cheese and fruit plate.
3. More champagne.
4. A bottle of Chateux Lafite Roschild 1945
5. Pasta course: a nice spicy Sicilian-style pasta
6. Meat course: A nice petit mignon or prime rib. It's gotta be marbled "just so". Medium.
7. Dessert: My mum's Blackberry Cobbler
8. Nice Havana Cigars and an old port.

If you are "lucky" enough to be killed in a state that allows last meals, the cooking is done by the prison staff or inmates. Tobacco / alcohol is banned.
You get:
1. Water (not very expensive)
2. Red Cheddar and a apple
3. More water
4. A cup of water 2007
5. Spaghetti Hoops
6. Meat course: Burger
7. Dessert: My fellow inmates' first attempt at Blackberry Cobbler
8. Nice rolled up paper and an old orange juice.
9. Unnatural Death
T.I.P. not on bill.

No good food or booze? The why bother with a last meal at all?
Precisely why capital punishment should be banned.
Murderers and their ilk should be damned to spend the remainders of their miserable, wasted lives breaking rocks on Ellesmere Island, fighting Polar Bears for their dinner.
Either that, or in a blank cell with no TV, bad food and no company for the rest of their lives. Let them suffer every single *******ing day.

Wouldn't that be great, to actually punish murderers in prison . . . but someone would cry that it would be cruel and unusual punishment to have them labor in arctic temperatures, with threats of carniverous animals . . . so they'll make sure that they get nice cushioned mattrices, a TV, several hours in a well equiped excersize room, free college education (if the so choose to take the courses offered), food that would make African Refuges mouth water, etc, etc,etc.
I bet some even have their own computer and access to Wifi.

It's good for cheap vodka, completely masks the taste.
I woke up on the floor of someone's lounge the morning after a party, with a mouth full of carpet, and found a 3/4 full 2l bottle of Irn Bru. I necked most of it and then about 1/2 an hour later found out it was heavily loaded with vodka.

frankly speaking, I don't have change to have that meal should I face such an execution. You know, we don't have capital punishments in Hong Kong. (Yes, I live in Hong Kong)
But if I were sentenced to death for crimes, I would have chosen nothing, as I don't think I would have any mood for such a last meal.
Perhaps they should give me a cyanide pill to reduce my pain. I hate electrocuting as I know dying by electric shock is deadly painful. I understand that some states uses cyanides, or similiar mixtures. But hay, why let such a long needle invade your body (to deliever the final blow)?
p.s. I disagree executing prisoners, that's horrible by its nature. Killing others is no fun afterall. Capital punishments should be abolished.

Well I guess it would depend on my mood and if my execution was justified
or not.
If justified then I would ask to be able to make a batch of my own
wings (better than any restaurant)
if my execution was unjust then Id ask for Dolphin steaks in protest.
Lets not have this devolve into a debate over whether Capital Punishment is just/moral/ethical . . . this is about one's last meal. Not necessarily due to death penalty (which helps because you know when it's coming, so it helps with planning). But say you knew you were going to die, right when you entered a we'll make ANYTHING, and EVERYTHING for your restaurant/cafe/cafiteria/Dining Commons/Dining Facility (DFAC for those in the know)/diner. (Say there are kind friendly, the none tricking kind, genies behind the counter or as the cook) And say, somehow you knew you were going to die shortly (say within in the next 15 minutes) of you leaving that place (with no opertunities to eat anything else after leaving that place). What would you have them serve you, or in some cases make for you . . . basically . . . what would you order?
My last meal;
Roast pork (with the crackling nicely done)
Roast potatoes from a recipe by nigella Lawson (boiled for 4 mins shaken in the pan, then coated in semolina) cooked in the meat juices.
Broccoli Au Gratin (with red leicester) ooh! and aspargus.
Served with a couple of bottles of cheap red wine.
If I was a about to die I'd have a zabaglioni for pudding (I'm diabetic so I'd feel bad after it, on the other hand I wouldn't want go to the afterlife* with high blood sugar, so maybe not)
* yes I know there isn't an afterlife:D
