You are on death row; you are scheduled to be executed at midnight; you have no hope of pardon. The guard comes up to your prison cell and asks, "What do you want for your last meal?". What do you say?

Roast beef, baked potatos and fresh hot bread.

a cigarette and Dr. Pepper

I would like to have chicken in a white wine cream sauce, some sautéed mushrooms and any kind of pasta - as long as it had tomato sauce. For desert I would like a chocolate mousse. All this with a nice, cool glass of milk.

i might not be in the mood for food - but if i was, then saag paneer would be on the list.

The pardon, of course!!

sushi. tons of it. a ten gallon bucket of miso soup and a caraffe of chai latte

Artichoke heart in spaghetti, tempura, king crab leg, filet mignon, and a little lamb. Chocolate mousse for dessert. French red wine or sangria. Oh yeah.

I'LL HAVE A GOOD WINE, LOBSTER, STEAK, BAKED POTATO, SALAD, WITH RICH CREAMY DRESSING, LOTS OF SOUR CREAM, A VERY RICH DESERT WITH MUCH WHIPPED CREAM. NO REASON TO CONTINUE THE DIET NOW.

Surf & Turf: Filet Mignon, Steamed Lobster Tail, Baked Potato, Asparagus with Hollandaise. Preferably cated by Mortons.

A particular cheesecake, of my own devising. I'd be happy to share the recipe with the prison chef. There may even be a little bit left over when I'm through.

mmm... All this food-talk is making me hungry! ...I'm going to go out and commit a capitol crime so I can get me some of this primo grub!

I'd start with an Italian antipasto, the whole thing! Then give me a nice bowl of Pasta Primavera. Then a small piece of Lasagna(baciamele style). Then a little eggplant parm. Then bring out the filet mignon. It has to be at least a 16 oz. piece of beauty. Roasted potatoes with all the herbs and spices. Some string beans and broccoli and why not through in some corn on the cob. The bread better have been flown in from Italy. Then I would have my after-dinner salad i na lite lemo-oil dressing. For dessert bring me a cappuccino, with a sfogliatella(flown in from Naples of course), and something creamy with chocolate. And a nice Cohiba cigar, delivered straight from Cuba. And the most important thing is to make sure the oil used in cooking and seasoning is Italian extra virgin olive oil.

Can I say what I really would want? Chocolate and whipped cream served up on my lover.

A plateful of Valium; I have no desire to be lucid at my execution.

If I haven't been back to California recently chances are I'll want a meal from The Little Garden In Palo Alto including hot braised beef wanton soup, leechee pork, dry braised stringbeans and whatever else Tom thinks I should eat before expiring...

Escargot and Rocky Mountain Oysters

Mercury. How many people get to harmlessly swish mercury around in their mouths? Oooh, I bet it feels neat.

Macaroni and Cheese, and chocolate pudding.

A coke and a piece of chocolate pie. My two favorite food vices. I'd also say thanks and how about a shot of morphine!!

My mom's spaghetti, my grandma's dumplings and a ice, cold bottle of diet pepsi. A huge piece of carrot cake or apple pie would be nice too, but they have to be my grandma's.

Something I'm terribly allergic to - that way, I can yell "I've been poisoned!" before going into anaphylactic shock and (a) die right away, cheating the state out of the honor and causing no end of political hoohaw, or (b) be taken for treatment and kept alive until I am "well enough" to be executed properly. No, on second thought, I'd whisper something, and when the guard leaned closer to hear, I'd knock him out, grab his gun, and make a daring escape.

home made pizza and mcdonalds fries.

Kung Pao Chicken. I live for that stuff, get me a coke too and my life would be complete. (cool answer seth)

Since I am going to die the next day, to H*ll with the fat grams and calories! I would like a juicy, well-done steak, a twice baked potato, a saled loaded with cheese and honey mustard dressing. For desert, I'd like not one but two pieces of devils food cake and a large, tall glass of milk. What a meal!!

Kosher giraffe. (Hopefully it would take them long enough to figure out where they need to cut the giraffe's neck for my pardon from the governor to come through.)

Great question. It would depend on my mood at the time. Probably a plate with a little of a bunch of different things. If I were there right now making that decision...pizza with everything (except anchovies), potato chips, and rice crispie treats for dessert. Mmm. I'm getting hungry...

General Tso's Chicken. White rice. A Bottomless glass of cold milk. A fortune cookie.

I wanna eat the brains of all the people that voted for death penalty, if they had one.

Nothing really.Instead,I would be singing "Giving Up Food For Funk" from the JB's.And then perhaps "The Death Of A Disco Dancer" .

sex

"A spicy Popeye's chicken breast with fries, some unagi nigiri, an una-avo roll, Mary Chung's Suan La Chou Shou, a baked potato with lots of butter, some excellent chocolate (Valrhona, please), and a six-pack of Harpoon IPA. And make it snappy!"

Baked Stuffed Shrimp and Steak Combo from Jimmy's in Arlington, MA. And a whole pumpkin pie.

I want you!!!! *hannibal lechter noise* just kiddin...

Medium-rare porterhouse steak from Morton's of Chicago.

I'd like prime rib and lobster and a coke. In a related question: is dvmike on drugs? I noticed that all his answers are in caps.

actually this happened to me. i said "dodo eggs and giant squid." i'm still waiting.

actually just some FYI: the famous "last meal" is an urban legend. the actual prison protocol is you get to make a request but the prison cook actually decides what you get to eat, so if he ain't got it or he can't make it, tough.

Nothing. I'd prefer not to vomit from fear.

salmon broiled in butter and oregeno. lasagna florentine. apple pie. a bong hit for an appetiser might be nice too

STEAK

Indian food - palak paneer, samosas, pakoras, a nice red wine, naan ...

Steak au poivre, done properly and cooked medium rare. (If good beef, otherwise medium)
**seth: Heh, that's a cool idea.

What's the point? Somehow I don't think I would be hungry.

It'd depend on what I felt like... I'd probably choose a bunch of things I'd never had, just to see what they were like, and some things I know I liked.

one of each please... seriously, this could have been simpler, if you could eat one last time and then die content, what would you eat? The answer is, I have no idea. I'd probably have an incredibly thick frappe, the rest would depend on my mood at the moment and what they had readily available. If I am on death row, I don't deserve any special treatment (other than the frappe).

I'd take the Filet Mignon Chateau from the Boynton with a cannoli for dessert.

A bowl of double fudge brownie ice cream (Eddys')

Nothing. That is, I say nothing, although it's also true that I want nothing for my last meal.

"fudge you".

I see dpolicar beat me to the metacomment.

Crab alfredo, mac & cheese, lobster, mandarin orange sorbet, fried chicken, a bacon cheeseburger,and bunch of Reese's Pieces.
And for a drink, a Cosmopalitan (you only live once).

salmon steak with plenty of butter and pepper, a humongous baked potato with sour cream, and gallons of Minute Maid Berry Punch. Maybe strawberry pie for dessert.

A whale. Whole. Then I'd insist on finishing it all before my execution...

strawberry cheesecake

Chicken strips from the Thrifty Foods deli
Mashed potatoes with country gravy
cheesecake
champagne

I say "I am so absolutely terrified there is no way I could possibly eat anything" Or perhaps I jibber like a monkey having already been driven insane with fear.

Or "I'll have 75,000 pizzas, 20,000 cheeseburgers, 50,000 rare steaks" etc. etc. could be popular too :) "And no death until you eat your dinner young man!"

Or perhaps a big big plate of hash cookies would go well with my mood at the time...

I need to change my comment....I would like the Prime Rib from the Brasserie at the Coast Plaza Hotel in Vancouver BC...with a baked potato, Caesar salad, Yorkshire pudding, Gravy, fresh Horseradish sauce, and grilled vegetables and a plate of raspberry sorbet for dessert...This was the best tasting meal I have ever had!!!! HEY BILL YOU FIXED THE WORD WRAPPING!!!! Thanx ...you are a doll :):)

Much too hard to choose. I'd keep those chefs darned busy. "We want the finest wines in creation, we want them here, and we want them now!"

his liver, with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Fast Food

I would want various bits and pieces rather than a proper meal. Hmm...

Pancakes (crepes) with lemon juice and sugar.
A really juicy fresh mango.
Watermelon.
Grapes.
Gorgonzola cheese.
Yorkshire pudding.
A grapefruit (or maybe just a really good fruit salad with all the fruit in it).
Strawberries, raspberries and cream.
A Yorkshire curd tart.
A raspberry Frescato.
A chocolate and raspberry brownie with chocolate sauce and icecream.
A margherita pizza.

Am I asking for too much? There's more on my list!

I would eat something light, like a salad or something.
