You ain’t alone. Most meals are picked at or untouched.

I would do like that guy did in the Sergio Aragones cartoon in MAD Magazine where he requests a ton of food for his last meal… and then barfs on his executioners right before they pull the switch.

Well, since the last post to this thread, there have been a few additions to the list. My favorite is also the newest, dated 5/30/2002:

Two 16 oz. ribeyes, one lb. turkey breast (sliced thin), twelve strips of bacon, two large hamburgers with mayo, onion, and lettuce, two large baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, cheese, and chives, four slices of cheese or one-half pound of grated cheddar cheese, chef salad with blue cheese dressing, two ears of corn on the cob, one pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and four vanilla Cokes or Mr. Pibb.

Do note that there was one Ovo-Lacto vegetarian in there:

Frank McFarland

Heaping portion of lettuce, a sliced tomato, a sliced cucumber, four celery stalks, four sticks of American or Cheddar cheese, two bananas and two cold half pints of milk. Asked that all vegetables be washed prior to serving. Also asked that the cheese sticks be clean.
