I’d probably go with comfort food like a big plate of pasta with meat sauce and a side of piping hot garlic bread and a glass of wine, since I’m going to die, sobriety be damned.
10lbs of saffron. Give me my 45k meal ya bastards
Fancy
Is there anything I can eat that would allow me to detonate with the power of an atom bomb?
Because i would pick that
Beans? Go out with a bang.
Shrimp tacos with avocado, lime, onion, grilled peppers, on a flour tortilla.
I’m allergic to literally everything I just mentioned.
That sounds dope, I love tacos
Before I developed this allergy I’d have tacos twice a week, I’d kill to eat tacos again. The best I can do with my allergy is calabacitas on corn and it just doesn’t hit the same.
Shame, you should be free to enjoy the shrimp taco
Just egg rolls. Just so many egg rolls. Endless egg rolls. A sea of egg rolls, so many goddamn egg rolls. An unholy, uncalcuable amount of egg rolls.
Hell yea, I’d kill for an eggy roll rn
Immortality soup
Depends on the method of execution. If it’s the electric chair, I’d want to be completely hydrated so the electricity flows better. Probably won’t matter too much, but I’d be looking for a big Gatorade and something light.
Legal injection? Some soul food to make me good and sleepy and, some they’d be chemically stopping my heart, hook up the cholesterol. Fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and maybe some fried greens.
Gas? I dunno. Firing squad? They’re bringing it back. Beheading? For these it probably doesn’t matter. Cheeseburger and a Coke, can’t beat a classic.
mmmm cheeseburger
That fucked up fermented shark or fish whatever, some Lindberger cheese, and stinky tofu hot pot. Quadruple serving of each. I want to be so full of the nastiest smelling food on earth that everyone who comes remotely close to me will wretch like they just drank ipecac until they pass out. I want it to linger in their memory and haunt them the rest of their lives.
I’m what you might call a “sicko”.

What kind of filling?

Insofar as this is an extremely hypothetical question to begin with, I’m gonna say zhizhig galnash made from my own amputated flesh and otherwise vegan. If I get my leg amputated day-before I won’t exactly have a lot of time to miss it, so why not do something extremely shocking and taboo yet ethically perfectly fine? Get to taste something that most people will never get to experience. It’s not like I’ll have to live with the consequences, and if I die during the operation I won’t have missed much.
if it’s the electric chair a bunch of raw popcorn and oil
anything else, something extinct that they’d have to spend decades figuring out how to clone
Hash browns smothered in Sausage and bacon gravy, with a stack of pancakes. I willl wash that down with Makers Mark and Diet Coke.
I’ve thought about this question a few times before and always find myself unable to choose something because I get distracted by the extremely depressing fact that no matter what it is, any last meal is probably disgusting because it’s surely made of the same Aramark slop that all the other prison food consists of, and nobody in a prison has any incentive whatsoever to get you a meal that’s at all decent. I feel like it might just be best to resign yourself to randomness, rather than experience the disappointment of realizing they didn’t bring you the thing you really wanted to eat, but rather a crude and insulting imitation of it. Only way around this I can think of is if you ask for something from a restaurant, but I doubt they allow that.
I was always under the assumption that prisoners got last meals delivered from a restaurant, but you’re probably right and the guards will just do something cruel to you instead.
It depends on the state and the facility. In Florida, you have a price limit of $40, and in Oklahoma it’s $25. In Texas it has to be from the prison cafeteria[1]. Not all states allow last meals either, but I can’t find much data on it (especially because a lot of states have the death penalty on the books but go decades without using it). Alcohol and tobacco are only allowed in rare circumstances (but Japan’s customary last meal are cakes, cigarettes and occasionally sake, served in the antechamber of the gallows). Last meals as a concept in the US are a tad strange, because they arose as a result of liberal reforms of the death penalty in the early 20th century, such as the electric chair. Of course, like all reforms to capital punishment, it does nothing to change the reality of what happens to the executed.

This rule was instituted after an inmate ordered two chicken-fried steaks, one pound of barbecued meat, a triple-patty bacon cheeseburger, a meat-lover’s pizza, three fajitas, an omelet, a bowl of okra, one pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream, some peanut-butter fudge with crushed peanuts, and three root beers ↩︎
Thanks for this interesting info comrade, I’m surprised to learn that some places allow food from outside for last meals
My moms Lasagna
Enchiladas. Red and green. New Mexican style. Endless supply of sopapilla with honey.
