Your Last Meal?

Apr 27, 2007 5:52AM PDT

If you're on death row, you certainly have plenty of time to think about what you would like for your last meal, but you really have to wonder if they always get what they want..

It's pretty easy to imagine a prison kitchen where guards have a last meal menu from a prisoner. It seems more likely than not that they would try to figure out how to get it by not driving more than a half-hour one way.

So, maybe a prisoner on the verge of being the "Last Man Standing" having whatever they want to eat is the stuff of prison legend that somehow has found its way into pop culture lore.

I would request: A 6oz. Shrimp Appetizer, Two 8oz. Filet Mignon, Two 6oz. Lobster Tails, with baked potato, sour cream, green beans and a big mug of cold Guinness. Happy

For me....
Apr 27, 2007 8:31AM PDT

.... it would be a big plate of fried oysters (fried in cornmeal, of course, and with either ketchup or coctaill sauce on the side) cantaloupe (already peeled and sliced), a big slice of cheese cake topped with sour cream and cherry pie filling, a big slice of pumpkin pie topped with real whipped cream, a pint of good vanilla ice cream and a spoon, and a selection of fun-sized Three Musketeers, Milky Way, chocolate covered mint patties, a pint of Guinness Stout, and a bottle of Riesling wine.

I know it's not a well balanced diet, and very heavy on the sweets, but it's not like I'll be worrying about the effect on my health. Happy

Wonder what caused it to disappear for awhile. Guess I'll have to hit the submit button a little harder. One of those "Now you see it, Now you don't" deals.

At over $200 bucks a bottle, I wouldn't mind doing a little sipping and beer chasing with that bottle.

My choice
Apr 28, 2007 6:24AM PDT

If the real things are available I'd like lobster with drawn butter and lemons, a medium-rare ribeye steak, mashed taters, fried okra, and unsweet tea with lemon.

If the top-of-the-line is unavailable, I'd take a Coke and a cheeseburger with tomato, green olives, and fried onions on a toasted bun.

A piece of yellow cake with chocolate frosting would be nice, too. Happy
