The last meal is a traditional part of a condemned prisoner's last day. The day before the appointed time of execution, the prisoner will be given the meal, as well as religious rites, if he or she desires.In many countries the prisoner may have the luxury of selecting what the last meal will be (within reason), and the authorities do their best to provide a prisoner with the requested meal.

Six fried eggs, cooked over-easy, 16 strips of bacon, one large portion of hash-browns, one pint of pineapple sherbet ice cream, one "breakfast steak" well done. One 16 ounce cup filled with ice, one 7UP, 1 Dr. Pepper, 1 Coke, one portion of hot sauce, one cup of coffee, two packets of sugar and four Rolaids tablets.wtf Rolaids?

WTF? It was a frivolous last statement among the dour moods of the people who had a hand in Robert Charles Comer's execution, from the cook who prepared his last meal to the medically-trained personnel who gave the lethal injection.

Lord, help us all.

For 11 years, Brian Price was the man responsible for preparing the last meal requests in Texas. Now he has written a book - complete with recipes including Old Sparky's convict chilli. So were there any inmates he refused to cook for? Only one, he tells Alex Hannaford

Really cool list (slightly morbid too) that shows Death Row inmates' last meals, all the way from 1982 to about 2003 is the most recent.
