Let’s play the Last Meal game! Assume some scenario (death row, terminal cancer etc.) where you know that you are going to die and you get one last meal.

The bacon that created the grease.  
A pound of crispy French fries.  
A loaf of warm French bread with real butter.  
A scoop of every flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream imaginable, topped with whipped cream  
An entire chocolate cake smoothered with vanilla icing.  
A bottle of red wine (I’m a teetotalling wino, but what the hell), followed by lots of hot coffee with cream and sweetner.
