re: What would your last meal be?

It is my understanding that the "last meal" as a choice, is a myth
quote:
A condemned prisoner's last meal is a customary ritual preceding execution. Various countries have various traditions in this regard. The "little glass of rum" is granted to the condemned in historical France in the minutes before execution, but no formal last meal as the condemned learns of their impending execution only on the fatal morning, generally just minutes in advance.[1]
In many countries, the prisoner may, within reason, select what the last meal will be.

Here are some of the most bizarre last meals ever by death row inmates.
Velma Barfield
Crime: Seven murders from 1971-1978
Year: 1982
Meal: Cheez Doodles and a Coke
She proved what a true monster she was by getting Cheez Doodles instead of at least going with Cheetos. I just hope she left the cheese dust on her fingers as she left her cell. That’s the way I want to go out; covered in chip dust.
Robert Alton Harris
Crime: Murder, kidnapping, burglary, and robbery
Year: 1992
Meal: 21 pieces of KFC chicken, 2 Tombstone Pizzas, jellybeans, ice cream, 6 Pepsi sodas, and a pack of cigarettes
If you’re going to take up smoking I supposed the best time to do it would be moments before your death. He originally asked for Dominos Pizza but changed it up to Tombstone Pizzas. I hope it was for the irony, to be honest.
Victor Feguer
Crime: Murder. He was the last execution in the US for 40 years.
Year: 1963
Meal: A single olive
There is no better way to prove that you’re completely insane than asking for a single olive as your last meal. Wouldn’t it be great if he went to eat it and accidentally dropped it?
Thomas J. Grasso
Crime: Robbery and first-degree murder after strangling an 87-year-old woman with Christmas tree lights.
Year: 1995
Meal: Room temperature SpaghettiOs
He ordered a few other items, but the room temperature SpaghettiOs definitely stands out the most. Rumor has it that Grasso complained the SpaghettiOs were too hot when they brought him the meal. I guess they assumed he has time to wait for it to cool down?
Aileen Wuornos
Crime: Seven murders spanning from November 1989 to November 1990
Year: 2002
Meal: A cup of coffee
Don’t even think about executing me before I’ve had my cup of coffee. Am I right? Just to clear things up, Wuornos’ last words were all about how she would be back June 6th on the mother ship just like the movie Independence Day. That’s probably not the shout out ID4 was looking for, but you take fans where you can get them.
Ronnie Lee Gardner
Crime: Robbery, burglary, escape, murder, and capital murder
Year: 2010
Meal: Lobster, steak, and pie while watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy
You may laugh, but this is actually a brilliant idea. He thought of the longest movie possible and asked for it so he could stretch this meal out as long as possible. I don’t blame him. I would ask for the director’s cut and then for the commentary tracks and all those stupid featurettes that no one else in the world would ever want to see.

Probably wouldn't have much of an appetite considering I'm about to die and all

One thing is for sure; I'd be ready to take the walk to the chair after sitting through that tedious cycle. I doubt I'd make it to the end.
