You’ve finally been tried and convicted for murder and all appeals have failed. You’re going to the chair tomorrow, and the warden askes you what you want for your last meal. So what’ll it be? I’d ask for the lightly sauteed testicles of the guy who was going to flip the switch, and a Double-Whopper with Cheese meal. Then when the food arrived, I’d eat the burger and fries and toss the nads in the bin, saying I wasn’t hungry anymore… You? ---

Harr de harr harr. Answering the question in the sense in which it wasn’t asked. Heung So Ngaap (crispy aromatic duck) - a whole duck with about 30 pancakes. Rare Kobe steak in truffle oil topped with foie gras. ---

In all seriousness, I’d probably go for sushi - I’d have them fly in a top sushi chef from japan and gorge on all the nigiri I could eat. If they can’t get the chef there in time, then I have to go for some of my Mom’s Arabic-style pasta with lamb, chick-peas and onions. ---

Lots of tripe and chitlins and all the collards they could haul in. Then about six pecan pies with butter pecan ice cream on top. And then a case of Bud. If that didn’t make me puke at execution time, I’d ask for something like cod liver oil to get the job done. I’d want to leave a big mess for them to have to clean up. Bastards! ---

I’d have a very hard time making up my mind, but it would definitely involve several kinds of shellfish, raspberries, garlic, and chocolate. (Not necessarily in that order.) ---

Hmmm… that’s a little tough as there are so many meals I really love. But it would have to be a roast beef dinner with mashed potatoes, carrots, yorkshire pudding and gravy and sour cabbage rolls. (Note they _must_ be sour and I really can’t figure out why people like the ‘sweet’ ones but then that’s just my taste) With a bottle of cola to drink and for dessert I’d like homemade apple pie with vanilla ice cream and a pot of earl grey tea with honey. ---

And lots of fresh berries. And banana bread. Yum. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-your-last-meal-be/198950.md?page=2)
