The Governor ain’t calling. Re-trial has been denied. Nobody’s crusading for your release. What do you want for your last meal? ---

I’ll have a tazmanian devil steak and a roasted carrier pigeon. Can’t find them? OK, I’ll wait. ---

In an amazing coincidence, I discussed this exact same question with a friend of mine during lunch sometime last week. After much discussion, I had the following list: rare steak with baked potato, pizza, Chinese food and raspberry pie or raspberry torte for dessert. ---

xizor, I stopped by the zoo for that Tazmanian devil, and picked up the carrier pigeon at the museum(they must have known I was coming-it was already stuffed!🙂 ). How would you like that steak? ---

Well, that’s a toughie. I’d probably have a steak, very rare. And probably some sort of side dish. I don’t know, if I’m ever on death row I’m sure I’ll have a lot more time to think about it. This link might interest you: [Final Meal Requests](http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm) ---

A great char-grilled steak, fried abalone, crab claws, garlic-sauteed asparagus, a tall chocolate malt, three ice-cold beers, cherry cheesecake, and a big slice Black Forest cake with vanilla ice cream. The cake would be served atop the belly of a beautiful, nude woman. 😃 ---

I want to go there when the man finally catches me. All I’d want is a medium pepperoni lover’s deep dish pan pizza from Pizza Hut. After all, that’s just about all I ever eat anyway. And a pitcher of Michelob (Silence, horse piss peanut gallery. It’s Pizza Hut; Michelob or Bud. Those are the choices.) ---

According to many, if not most, states, the final meal request cannot include alcoholic beverages. Well, I guess the _request_ can (and has) include anything it wants but you won’t get it. Hey, if we’re gonna play by the rules, we have to _know_ the rules! I’ll have to think about mine. ---

A large pizza–extra cheese, extra sauce, double pepperoni, sausage, bacon, and ground beef. And a two-liter bottle of Pepsi to wash it down with, since **evilbeth** won’t let me have beer. And then a chocolate cake for dessert. (I’m gonna eat it all, too. If I happen to throw up on somebody while they’re strapping me in to inject me…well, hey, that’s ok.) ---

Ok, since it’s my last meal, I don’t have to worry about the food killing me. Start with a small salad of mixed green with Blue Cheese dressing. Move to a Menage a Trois of seafood. Shrimp scampi with a white wine and garlic butter sauce. (must get the chef from Orlando’s in Estes Park Co. by far the best scampi) A couple of Alaska King Crab legs and a Lobster tail. Top that off with a Rib-eye steak. ---

Mastodon or woolly mammoth steak (I can wait, too) A whole cheesecake decorated with 24kt gold leaf, and drizzled with the finest belgian chocolate Some wine from an amphora taken from a shipwreck at the bottom of the Mediterranian(sp?) Sea (the divers needn’t hurry, really)😉 ---

how about some wild game? Moose venison, about the best thing I’ve ever had. and my mom’s au gratin potatoes. I don’t actually like them that much but they make me feel good when I eat them. remind me of good things, i guess. ---

Filet Mignon wrapped in bacon, rare Shrimp DeJohnge Sauteed Mushrooms Asparagus with butter Twice Baked Potato with cheddar cheese Wilted Lettuce Salad Rolls with real butter Hot Fudge Sundae, heavy on the fudge, no whip cream or nuts One large glass of cold, really cold, milk. Well, someone said I couldn’t have beer, so I figured milk. If I CAN have beer, Old Style, scratch the milk. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/last-meal/34842.md?page=2)
