I've never heard that one used but there's probably a little village somewhere where they call it that. You gotta love the English language!?!

I generally try to think positively. And want to be seen as such, not morbid so I'm not sure I would use this as an "ice breaker".

A classic hijack to cheer this thread up!

Despite how gloomy a discussion this is, it is interesting to know the origins of "the last meal" and how it became a procedure in the US in particular.
I do not believe this happens anywhere else.

Looks like a good plate of your beans and bacon mix will be handy!

No death sentence in the UK, thank the gods.
If I were on death row USA, I'd ask for deep fried Governor. |

I can't imagine that I'd have much of an appetite, but some green chile and chicken enchiladas and some iced tea would be good.

You know, I really don't know what I would want, probably just some fresh warm bread with butter and a bottle of red wine, but do you think I could dine "al fresco"? I want to get a little bit of air before I die. Set up that bistro table outside the jail, and I will head out in my stripes for my last meal haha

Now, if alcohol were allowed as part of a last meal, then we'd be talking.

I think the right question you can ask is not "what" you would eat, but "who" you would dine with.
