45 Famous Last Meals

Posted by John Farrier in Crime & Law, Food & Drinks on June 16, 2009 at 7:08 pm


Ryan Deal of Top Cultured has a list of last meals given to condemned criminals, both real and fictional.  Here are a few:

Adolf Eichmann: He declined a special meal, preferring a bottle of Carmel, a dry red Israeli wine. He drank about half of it.

John Wayne Gacy: A dozen deep-fried shrimps, a bucket of original recipe chicken from KFC, French fries, and a pound of strawberries.

Timothy McVeigh: Two pints of mint chocolate-chip ice cream.

 Marv in Sin City: A “pretty decent” steak and a beer.

What do you plan on asking for?

    I like so many foods I cant decide which I would like to be the last I ever tasted. I would probably be executed before I ever made up my mind.

    Wow, a copied and pasted list straight off of Wikipedia!

    The Eichmann request is just chilling. But for me, I'd have to go with a Big Mac, because whenever the rare time comes around that I do eat one, I want to die shortly thereafter.

    Ah, that was lazy of Top Cultured. We'll fix the link to point to the original Wikipedia article then!

    Re Gary Gilmore - I thought alcohol was a no-no. The Wiki article on him makes no reference to whiskey being part of his last meal.

    This is such a tough one, I love food and to have to just choose one or 2 meals would be very hard indeed, lucky for me desert would not be really on top of my list as I am not huge on sweet things

    Barbecued pork ribs. At least three full racks, hold the sides, and a six pack of Coke, plenty of ice. Vanilla ice cream to top it off.

    Spaghetti Bolognese, garlicky garlic bread, four baby artichokes, a big salad, and a banana split with vanilla ice cream, walnuts, and caramel.

    If I knew it was my last meal, I don't think I'd have much of an appetite.

    Two tablets of cyanide and a nice cuppa hemlock tea. Execute me, will you? I won't give you the satisfaction.

    My last meal would consist of the most expensive products I could think of that would piss off the authorities as a last way to turn the screw on them. :D

    Deep-fried Magicicadas, and I prefer Brood XIV. They'll be emerging sometime in 2025.
