I’d ask for: A 20 oz prime rib with horshradish sauce A twice baked potato One of those onion blossum things A pitcher of fresh squeezed lemonade Mixed vegetables steamed with garlic in a butter sauce Oh, and BTW, most of you asking for alcohol will not get it, most (if not all prisons) forbide alcohol, even in the last meal. ---

If I’m going to The Chair? As much gunpowder as I can fit in my digestive system, and about 3 meters of partially swallowed primacord fusewire clenched between my teeth. ---

I’m not sure, but it would probably involve mashed potatoes. Lots and lots of mashed potatoes. ---

Minor quibble: is it true they let you get _anything_ you want for your last meal? I thought I heard that you just get to pick from a list - admittedly, a rather tasty list, but you won’t be getting anything ridiculously exotic or expensive. ---

Beef Stroganoff with a nice, moist rice pilaf on the side, fresh (not frozen) green beans sauteed in butter and mud pie for dessert. All of it topped off with gourmet Vienna roast coffee, straight, no sugar, thank you. But it’s all academic, because they’ll never catch me! \*\* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!\*\* ---

One pound chicken-fried steak, one pound fried swordfish, french fries, and every flavor Ben&Jerry’s with real whipped cream on top. Washed down with lots of red wine. To hell with being a sober veggie. ---

I would have roast duck, roast potatos, garden peas, baby carrots, gravy and for dessert a couple of Ben 'n Jerry’s (any flavour) with fresh double cream and blueberries…oh yes!! ---

btw, what the hell is chicken fried steak? Is Chicken the name of the chef or something? He must do a good fried steak because a lot of the guys are asking for him. ---

1. The BIGGEST mountain of beans on toast imaginable… …with ketchup, a bucket-load of scrambled egg (free range), at least 10 fried tomatoes (plum tomatoes only Thank you!) a dinner plate of hash browns, one catering-sized jar of black olives, 2 packets of Quorn sausages (i.e. LOTS!!!) 2 whole fried onions (sliced) and gazillions of mushrooms. 1. One LARGE pot of tea (white and milky, no sugar please), 2 gallons of orange juice (freshly squeezed) all washed down with a HUGE mug of coffee (or 6…) 2. A car-sized pile of waffles with all the ice cream, blueberries and maple syprup in the county. 3. Enough strawberries and cream to fill a tennis court 4. A chest freezer full of Black Forest Cornettos. (Why oh WHY don’t they make these any more??) 5. Bananas - the more the better… Probably as many as can be fitted into my cell around my by now dangerously bulging tum. … If I’m gonna go, I’m gonna eat like a piggy beforehand… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-your-last-meal-be/198950.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-would-your-last-meal-be/198950.md?page=3)
