A full extensive meal prepared by Ferran Adrià, as he would serve at el Bulli.

Which brings me to my next question...can they request whatever they want and is it actually delivered no matter what?

I think they try to refrain giving any substance to the prisoners that could interact with the cocktail of drugs they are given to kill them.


Although if it was Utah (Where some people can still choose firing-squad), I would say they should be able to order a drink of their choice.

Gary Gilmore had a couple slugs of whiskey before he went to the firing squad, although that was technically against the rules. You couldn't get away with that nowadays.

Back when the Brits still had the DP they'd offer the condemned man a drink to help steady his nerves. The French also let prisoners have cognac and a smoke before they were guillotined. Sadly that's all in the past now.

Totally depends on the state. Some are quite accommodating, others are not. Maryland doesn't offer inmates a special last meal, they get whatever crap is on the prison menu for the day. Then again we only carry out an execution every few years and will probably never have another one so that's kind of moot.

I know that Virginia only lets inmates choose from the prison meal rotation for that month, and in Texas the food has to be prepared in the prison kitchen. There was an inmate who cooked a whole bunch of last meals for condemned prisoners and wrote a book about it when he got out. Other states are way more generous, Illinois gave John Wayne Gacy fried shrimp and a bucket of KFC before they juiced his fat ass.
 
I'd probably ask for several Five Guys burgers and a couple of their large orders of fries. Not like I'd have to worry about the health consequences, right?

Yea we need more guillotine executions these days.
 
Whoa boy, tough call. Maybe Oysters & Pearls from TFL to start, followed by a smallish high-quality steak of some sort (probably a strip or a ribeye, with just salt and a lot of cracked pepper, maybe a bit of butter) on the rare side of med-rare with a side of hand-made gnocchi in a butter sauce and drowning in freshly-shaved truffle. My Grandma's cheesecake for dessert. A saison to drink with the appetizer, a full-bodied quality red wine to go with the entree, and a strong Americano to go with dessert.

Oh man I'm hungry now.

This has turned into an old-fashioned slobberknocker! Haah!

My last meal would be Corned beef, green beans with bacon and onion, mac and cheese, cottage cheese with pepper and for dessert, tiramisu! Nom nom nom 😀
 
I'd start by driking several glasses of St Bernardus Abt 12 while smoking a Cuban Cigar

Afterwards, I'd have a glass of Brown Ale (New Glarus Nut Brown perhaps) with a couple of pieces of smoked salmon or chubs.

I'd have some Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA with my appetizer course.
Food would be king crab legs, grilled asparagus, and some shrimp tempura

120 Minute IPA to drink with my main course, prime rib, rack of lamb, and lobster tail

For desert, I would switch to Nogne 0 Imperial Stout as my beverage with some chocolate chip cheesecake. Then I would follow it up with some Kriek Lambic and baked Alaska.

Finally, I'd drink as much Apis Poltorok Jadwiga as my stomache could possibly hold.
