When I was in law school I offered to do a pro bono death penalty appeal if the guy would let me sample his last meal.

When I was in law school I offered to do a pro bono death penalty appeal if the guy would let me sample his last meal.

Did the defendant consider that there could be a mis-alignment of the attorney's interests with the client's interests under that circumstance? If your appeal succeeeds, he doesn't get a last meal...

I ended up not doing it because I wasn't satisfied with the sanitary conditions in the prison kitchen.

I endorse the view that murderers should get more humane treatment in prison if they offer their victims a last meal, and from a proper menu, not just a prix fixe. Good to see everyone thinking outside the envelope for once.

Rare? Common? Comfortable? How would you send yourself off?

[Raynickben]

My favorite question!

appetizer: steamed clams in white wine and garlic

entree: cheeseburger w/raw onion, NY pepperoni pizza

dessert: cheese-blue and cheddar

drink: Opus One

(hey, I didn't say it would make sense or go well together but heck, it's my last meal!!)

You will each get a cheeseburger.

You will each get a cheeseburger.

That's what I want!

[Al_Dente]

I'd want something really hard to find. Perhaps a big bowl of deep fried Mongolian wolverine nipples. I could get a whole extra year just waiting for it.....

[JFLinLA]

David Shaw was curious. Find out what death row inmates choose -- with information about an upcoming book and links to Departments of Corrections at different states that actually provide this information.

What would you have for your last meal?

How about unicorn tonsils?

[AzRaeL]

how about the tasting menu at the French Laundry

[foodie52]

If it were my last meal on earth, I'd try to eat lots of fatty and carb-laden foods, washed down with tequila and then red wine, so that, when they come to get me, I feel so awful that I will welcome death.

(Yes, I've had that experience once or twice: haven't we all..)

[QuinaQuen]

A huge melamine bowl of YumPlaMuk. I eat 3/4 and save the rest for last.

A sip of ice tea, a sip of Gusano de Oro, a swig of Singha.

A link of dry czech sausage grilled over white oak with my own BBQ sauce.

A swig of ice-cold Ouzo, a Shiner Bock chase.

A banh mi stuffed with thit nuong and a pound of stilton, doused in nam pla.

A Hennessy and Coke, no ice.

A whole knuckle of ginger, a whole bunch of cilantro.

A tall boy of Bull.

A twinkie.

The rest of the YumPlaMuk.

Now I'm ready to die.

[babyluck]

A Sabrett's hot dog cooked over a campfire in a toasted bun with a can of Coke.

For dessert, a pint of Guinness & 2 cigarettes (Export A Full Flavor).

[Verjuice]

Comfort food Lebanese breakfast style for me. Honey. Figs. My mother's labneh. Olives and their oil. Zaatar. Real tomatoes. Good chewy bread, warm and blistered from the oven. Raw kibbeh. Turkish coffee. Milky tea. Cheese kunafa, pistachios and basbousa/nammoura all around.

[Susan G]

I'd eat all food I love but which makes me sick later - say, lobster...........because hey! Not gonna have to pay the price this time!

[FistFullaRoux]

I'd skip the salad, have a steak and a baked potato, and a variety of 20 or 30 pastries and chocolates. Glazed donuts, cream cheese danish, plain old yellow layer cake with buttercream frosting, Kit Kat bars, Twinkies, oatmeal cookies, or whatever they had on hand or were willing to track down. A 12 pack of cold Pepsis and a gallon of cold milk.

And some peanut butter.

[Jake]

I could go on, but it would be a very large meal. I'm now starving and unable to work!
