Photographer Jonathon Kambouris has put together “The Last Meals Project” which details death row inmates’ last meals. Most of them aren’t that exciting such as Gary Leon Brown (why do killers always have three names?) eating an ice cream sandwich. I suppose if you are about to face death you really aren’t that hungry. What would you eat for your last meal?

One of James Reynolds’ projects is photographically documenting Death Row prisoners’ requests for their last meals before execution. Included is a pack of cigarettes complete with health warning label.

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?
