The most bizarre last meal requests in the history of the penal system reveal that if you're crazy enough to get yourself landed on death row, you're crazy enough to order a litanyof fried and otherwise crazy foods when facing the death penalty.

Makes me think of a story I once heard about a death row inmate who ordered his last meal, which was to include French truffles. He was told they were seasonal and would not be available for another six months, to which he replied: "That's okay, I can wait."
Actually, some of those meals are ones I really miss, but for some reason I don't want to be put in a position that I could order one.
I'm re thinking what foods I eat, after reading this article.
