Yams!!, the cookie flavor is my favorite. I can’t wait to try the cocoa and mint flavors. I also have quite the collection of “Peeps” accessories: pens, a backpack clip, a puzzle, a coloring book, bubbles. One of my best friends apparently has a “connection” and my array of “Peeps” merchandise grows a little each Easter! Happiness…
Something nasty to spit into the face of the man who’s pulling the lever/injecting the poison. Kill me will they?
I got my father the yellow bunny microbead pillow at KMart

He likes anything that tastes like plastic/paper/non-food.
[My google search for that revealed this suction cup Cthulhu which may be of interest to other Dopers:
medium porterhouse steak
broiled lobster tail
tempura zucchini
fresh-picked corn on the cob with butter
Coke, (from a glass bottle), made with cane sugar, lemon wedge, ice
fresh-picked wild strawberries and raspberries
:D:D:D
I read this yesterday, told my kids about it later, and still I cannot get over it! I just keep picturing the guy in his cell, gulping down each kernel, and thinking, “They will never forget…”
I know it’s early, but I would like to nominate this for Funniest Post of 2009.
Two large, fresh-boiled, Dungeness Crabs with clarified butter.
One bucket of Fried Chicken Skin.
You’re right, and Texas’ policy is pretty standard among states that still have the death penalty.
Although a few years ago, I saw an article in the magazine “Texas Monthly” which was written by a former convict who’d worked at the cafeteria in Huntsville. This guy sometimes had to cook men’s last meals, and he said that, while he couldn’t serve ANYTHING requested, he was creative enough to TRY to accommodate almost any request.
Texas prisons don’t serve steak, but if a man on Death Row asked for steak as his last meal, the cook would take hamburger meat and try to make something like a steak out of it. Or if somebody asked for lobster, well, the cook would take whatever fish was available and try to make it look/taste something like lobster.
I wonder who Jeffery Dahmer would have picked for his last meal.
Cabbage and sauerkraut, lots of it, beans every other mouthful, a dozen of more hard boiled eggs. Oh yeah, we’ll need plenty of sugars to get passed down into the intestines so lots of icing on not too much cake along with the richest creamy vanilla ice cream you can find. Lots of good stinky cheese and non-alcoholic beer for the carbonation.
They may inject me or zap me but I’ll be supplying the toxic gas.
I’ve been eyeballing this thread for days and had many thoughts of food I would love to eat, knowing it was my last meal. In the end I don’t think I would eat a damn thing.
If I did something to another and had to die for it, I think I would rather die with an empty stomach. When it’s time to die, a full belly only means you are going to shit yourself when you die.
You’re not alone, Omegaman - lots of folks decline a last meal (per the Memory Hole link).
They also don’t allow bubble gum. What, are they afraid the condemned will stick it under the seat of the electric chair?

Probably a tuna salad sandwich (made by my mom), Fritos, and a bottle (not can) of Pepsi.
It has been my desert island/last meal choice my whole life (and I don’t even drink Pepsi anymore—I’m a Coke drinker now). I’m just sentimental like that.
Yeah, but if I’m dead, I’m not gonna mind so much.
I’m with Agent Foxtrot on the Peter Luger’s. Either that or a 4 piece chicken dinner from Popeyes.
Thank you all for your responses!
Now I know what to make you for dinner on December 20th, 2012 - the day before doomsday!
Some of you are going to be a bit pricey to feed, but luckily, a lot of you are going to be pretty cheap dates!
Just remember the vegemite.
Cracker Barrel pancakes, eggs, chicken sausage, grits, and cheesy hashbrowns. And a Coke/Pepsi. I have always said that there is never a wrong time to eat breakfast, and I’d have to guess the eve of my death would be no exception.
Execution Stayed!
Back to Death Row!
New Date Set!!!
Last Meal #2:
Sweet and Sour Chicken
Clam Chowder (with a scoop of fried rice mixed in)
French Fries with ketchup, mustard and honey bbq sauce
1 Large Chocolate Milkshake
A couple handfuls of dry Fruit-Loops
Pound of shrimp
Pound of bacon
Broccoli with cheese soup
Chunky chicken noodle soup
Three Rocky Road waffle cones
Three cans of cream soda
Oh yeah, and a dog to gaze mournfully at me while I eat.
