Happy?, What would your last meal be. Remember, it's your LAST.

Mine would be:

Fried Cheesy Mashed Potatoes

Pepperoni Pizza

Greek Stew

and Cheesy Garlic Bread


(There's a lot of cheese and it's not very extravagent but it's good stuff)

I'll forgive the naviete of this question since you're a child, but if I was to be executed in the morning I wouldn't give a damn what food I ate. Take a moment and seriously put yourself in the position of someone who knows they have mere hours to live.

EDIT: I'd have a prawn cocktail and braised duck in hoisin sauce.

I would want to eat either:

a fellow prisoner, or
maybe a nice ribeye steak - well done
chunky chips with their skins on
caramelised onions
some kind of chili dip

ben and jerrys chunky monkey icecream to finish.

alternatively, the hottest curry i could manage so that the cleaners had more to clean up when i was frazzled.

Just take it in the sense of a game. Why does it have to be anything else?

Because you specifically asked what we'd eat if we were about to die. You didn't just say "What's your favourite food?", you asked what we would request if we were to be slain shortly afterwards. Ask an insensitive question, get an insensitive answer, my darling.

Surely it's not that much of an insensitive question, otherwise they wouldn't ask it? Besides, it'd give you something to take your mind off your situation, both the eating and the thinking up of your last meal. Wouldn't surprise me if that's the real reason they give the offer.

Anyway. How many courses/dishes etc are you allowed...?


Seared tuna and rocket salad.

Pan-fried duck breast (pink please) with plum sauce, celeriac mash and pommes dauphinoise.

A cheeseboard with at least the following: St. Agur, St. Felicien and a ewe's milk swaledale. Served on water biscuits.

Sticky toffee pudding if allowed cheese and dessert.

All washed down with a decent riocha (and I mean decent - money will have to be spent).

Easy, Chips with just the right amount of salt... little more, little more, little more... too much, take it back.

This is an actual question that prisoners are given isn't it??? I am assuming most if not all must appreciate it or it wouldn't be offered up.

I can't bring myself to answer it actually....for some reason I find it disturbing to think about! I fully intended to put up a post, but wow the thought (nostalga and reality) won't let me put anything in...

I thought the prison budget was tight especially food but they probably make allowances if its your last meal.
Mine would be bbq spare ribs, sesame seed prawn toast, chicken satay, sweet and sour king prawn and noodes all washed down with plenty of pepsi and pizza hut's warm cookie dough and ice cream for pudding

hmmmm,

I'd have to go for a nice fresh pea and mint soup to start,
Duck cooked with cherries and balsamic vinegar for main
and a chocolate fondant with a decent vanilla ice cream to finish
all washed down with a nice expensive red

If death was by electrocution:

Baked beans, cauliflower, sprouts, boiled egg and gunpowder.

Would they dare flick the switch the next day?

To be honest if I were to die knowingly shortly after I probably wouldn't be able to eat a thing through sickness I probably be more interested in ripping the gaurds heads off while trying to escape but if I had to have something it would be:

sirloin steak with chips and peas
A beef curry with egg fried rice
lemon saubet
5 bottles of beer with about 3 bottles of jack daniels and coke so I can't remember nothing from that point on.

Chill, woman, chill!

I'd eat blowfish, never tried it, may as well take the risk given the situation.

I didn't expect this to be taken so seriously. I wouldn't have posted it if it was going to be taken this way.

Yeeeahh... maybe I could refuse to be disposed of until I got what I wanted?! Not sure it works like that!

I expect this so called "whatever you want for your last meal" is a lot more limited than people imagine... I'm trying not to be too un-PC here but given what I expect to be the level of education and culinary finesse of those on death row, I would think the kitchen staff expect (and prepare for) 99% of requests to fall within "pizza/steak/apple pie/ice cream" domain.
