Food Finale

Ah, the age old question: What would you eat for your last meal? With so much good food out there you might find this question hard to answer. I know this sounds totally weird and kind of morbid, but on the Arizona Department of Corrections Website you can actually see what real Arizona death row inmates requested for their last meal (or as it is called by those within the prison system, the "special meal"). In Arizona at least, inmates requested an abundance of eggs, bacon, ice cream, and French fries. One guy ordered a whole cherry cheesecake.

Reading each prisoner's last meals was creepily personal, but totally fascinating. It is amazing how much insight you feel you get into a total stranger by reading their final food choices. Personally, I would end it with two beef tacos (extra hot sauce and guacamole on the side) from my favorite Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, a Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr Pepper, and as many as they would allow me of my mom's amazing banana cupcakes.
