Gluttons, Awaiting Punishment

Scott Hardie | January 19, 2006
If you were a death row inmate making final preparations, what would you request as your last meal? Nearly any food is available.

Russ Wilhelm | January 19, 2006
Depends on how I'm supposed to go.

If it's the chair, I'll go with something more liquid. Soup, salad, and watermelon.

Then again, I enjoy food, so if it doesn't make me sick (If anyone has this info, let me know in case I ever do find myself in that situation, fingers crossed) I'll go with infection.
Appetizer - Escargo and Jalepeno Poppers.

Start the actual meal with a Chef Salad with Ranch dressing.

Main Meal - New York Strip, the bigger the better, Baked Potato w/cheese, extra sour cream, bacon, extra butter. Throw the Brocoli on the floor, I like it but fiber makes you feel full. And yes I said throw it on the floor, what's the worst that could happen?

Dessert - Chocolate Ice Cream with Rasberry sauce.

Oh yeah, and a beer.

Appetizer - Sushi sampler (any type is fine)

Caesar Salad, with fresh ground parmesan cheese, fresh ground black pepper

Entre: Surf and Turf - Lobster (the largest possible) with melted butter and Prime Rib with a horseradish cream sauce, mixed steamed vegetables, fresh baked yeast rolls

Dessert: Egg custard pie with fresh whipped cream

Man! I think Mike has the perfect appetizer and dinner, while Russ has the perfect dessert!!! I'd have to think long and hard to beat that one.

Cake with a file in it.

Amy Austin | January 20, 2006
Okay, Kris... you win. ;-D

(Although, I'm pretty sure that the rest of us would stand a much better chance of actually having our requests GRANTED!!!)

Yum. I don't really like this thread anymore... it's starting to take on a new kind of persuasive power. ;-p

Now I'm picturing Kris in a sweaty orange jumpsuit filing away at steel bars as fast as can. ;-)

For some reason, I keep coming back to a Tour of Italy: chicken parmesan, meat lasagna, fettucine alfredo. Now that I'd necessarily want it from Olive Garden; I've had all three much better homemade. But add some crisp Ceasar salad, French onion soup with lots of cheese, and an ice cream sundae, and I can't think of a feast I'd rather eat last. Death row: When you're here, you're family.

It wasn't originally going to be a file, but I'm not sure I could eat a cake big enough to hide a blowtorch without getting a little queasy.

Great links, Steve.

I found it interesting that the Texas prison listed what inmates requested for their last meals, not what they actually got. What a bummer when you ask for a steak and you get a hamburger patty. That, plus your imminent execution, would make for a tough day.

I think I might go for some type of Mexican spread, maybe some tacos and burritos with chips and guacamole and plenty of hot sauce. Bottle of tequila. Fried ice cream for dessert. Mmmm.

Freakin' jail would probably give me a half-ass chalupa and a tin cup of sweet tea.

Michael Paul Cote | January 25, 2006
Looking at some of the menus these people requested makes me wonder if a guard were posted over them making sure they "cleaned their plates" before the fullfillment of their sentence?

Amy Austin | January 26, 2006
Yes, I had those thoughts, too, Steve... pretty crappy! Even crappier, though, is requesting rock lobster, only to be served "processed fish" instead!!! Give me the burger patty over that any day... talk about adding insult to injury. Ah, well... more inspiration not to become a condemned man (or woman), especially in Texas.

Mike -- why do you wonder? Doggie bags? ;-D

No, more like waste not want not ;0)
