Famous & Weirdest Last Meal Requests

Have you ever wondered what some of the weirdest last meals chosen by death row convicts were?

What would you order as your last meal? These inmates on death row knew the day and hour of their execution and meticulously selected the last morsel of food that would enter their mouths.

Even the strangest death row last meals make sense: how do you limit yourself to tiny portions when you know it’s the last meal you’ll ever have? Serial killers like Steven Michael Woods place large food orders in order to make their last meals count. The last meals of the inmates are listed here, and they include everything from the nicest slices of steak to mounds of ice cream. Would you opt for a large, extravagant supper for your last dinner?

Lawrence Russell Brewer’s supper is sure to be one of the most expensive. He ordered a ton of food but didn’t eat a single bite, prompting Texas to cancel the “last meal.” Ted Bundy’s was one of the more uninteresting lunches. What did Ted Bundy eat the last time he ate? He merely ate the usual farewell meal before being executed. On the other hand, Robert Dale Conklin ordered filet mignon with sauteed shrimp and goat cheese.
