As you know, or maybe you don’t know, I am from Texas. There are things that are only understood by Texans and these things are held to be equal to the word of God. For example, Dr. Pepper – Texans have some kind of addiction to Dr. Pepper and chicken fried steak with cream gravy and I am also a victim to these addictions. Yes, I know, I am vegan, so to stay true to my Texas ways I have created a vegan version of chicken fried steak and cream gravy – but that is a completely different post. 
The purpose of this post is the top 10 Last meal request for people who were sitting on Texas death row list. Dr. Pepper to the end, seriously…

im from the D and these foods are an every day life long diet, i like fried Dr. Pepper!
And a partridge in a pear tree. Wow go Dr Pepper.
If yall were from texas y’all would understand these last meals, as the author already said. And a lot of those foods aren’t greasy it just depends on who and how its cooked.
Four slices of dry white toast, slightly burned…. and a mission from God!
Actually, those last meals reflect the nature and identity of that animals. Everything is stinking greasy and in huge quantities, just like their pathetic lives – filth and greed. Let them stuff themselves! Why not?! Even more painful and lonelier for them to leave this world…
If I had to choose my last meal, it would definitely be Sushi Train mmmmmmm….
let them eat what they want . in malaysia , all these food are quite expensive , usually eaten by middle-class or rich kids .
@Anna
What?!
Do you think this is some kind of a joke??? These people mudered and hurt people in horrible ways!! All you are doing is making a joke about it! What if you were one of those people! YOU would not take this in a joking matter! One of those horrible people murdered my little brother when he was 7 years old…. take a look at it in my shoes… is it funny now? I hope that person suffers for all the things he did to Jason…. you dont even want to know what he did to him…. the people on death row are there there for a reason! i just wish they could skip the meal and go straight for the electric chair!
Woah ever being in that situation I would not be able to eat at all I would just be pooping myself quite literally.
I am just wondering why prisoners do not always and in every case ask for the LORD’S SUPPER, since they are MEETING THEIR END? just wondering, it seems like a no brainer if you ask me. thanks, Joe
Great site, keep up the good work, my colleagues would love this. I read a lot of blogs daily, and for the most part people lack substance, but not in this case. I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog, I’m gonna bookmark this zombie-popcorn.com web site. Thanks
let feed them fish heads
normally when you die you don’t get a last request , I say feed them what the victom ate.
Wow, how unimaginative are these requests? freakin cheeseburgers for a LAST meal??? I can have that any day of the week- I’d have like a a deep fried turkey, garlic loaded red mashed potatoes, hot dinner rolls, real butter, hush puppies, crisp bacon, cubed aged sharp cheddar cheese, sliced apples and caramel dip, a huge ice diet coke (haha I just like the flavor less sugary, it’s a little ironic to order a *diet* coke with a list like this) a giant ice cold water and a tuxedo cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory……..Yeah that’s a lot for a person on death row to ask for but hey, he’s done worse things right?;-D eh ?….EH?? Cmon…it was funny.
But seriously, this is your LAST meal, I would only want to eat things that I don’t eat regularly or commonly- and anyone can get a cheeseburger and fries any damn day. Now if only you could order some vodka, sugar-free rockstar and a blunt……but no, criminals can’t have it that good. and for good reason.
let the fuckers starve they dont deserve a last meal the poor fucking victims cant eat again so fuck them i say they should be the only thing to fry sit them on old sparky flick the switch waytch them cook
I would not have a last meal unless I was near death the natural way——I mean my God —- I can’t dream or think of someone comming -2- u and asking what you want or like –4– your last meal????????????????? Why peaople get in to the thing’s that they do to b on DEATH ROW is beyond me,,,, I think somthing in the brain snapped sexystuffdawn@bellsouth.net DAWN ROBIN GIMENEZ
How can you eat in that situation???
I love tha last hamburger on mom´s request. “have a hamburger for the road, son!”
Better to enjoy a meal with a clear conscience, which I’m sure everyone here can. Bonus: You won’t be executed 2 hours later.
Mine: One fried chicken, large bag of chips, potatoes, 4 slices pizza, loaf of Italian bread, butter, chocolate malt, couple cans of cherry coke and then I’m off to the Mall !
Hi there, long time lurker here with my first comment! My daughter is getting married to her lovely mexican gentleman soon, and I’m tasked with preparing the wedding party! I thought enchiladas would be a nice snack, so trying to find a good enchilada recipe. What do you think? Any more ideas?? Anyway, thanks for your hard work as ever…
I am dissapointed that noone wanted a twinkie.
Sounds delicious! I just came back from mexico last week and find myself addicted to these incredible enchilada recipes now!! Must go back next year sometime, I suppose, and this time head off the beaten path a little. Looking to reading more!
fried cat fish, french fries, bbq ribs, cheese burger, smoked ham, chicken fried stake, mashed potatos, and tons of cherry pepsi. and for dessert i would finish off with some copenhagen wintergreen long cut. If they let me i would finish off my night pickin at the guitar
This is probably one of the best posts I have stumbled across on this topic. I would like to know if you have you though about the other side of the topic of gardening? Personally, I think a decent case could be made either way, but let me know if you know of more sources on the Web that back up what you are saying.
Tacos, tacos, and more tacos. Mountain Dew, Simply Lemonade lemonade, Pepsi, Vanilla Caramel Chocolate Chunk ice cream, Filet Mignon from a Japanese steak house, and several vodka lemondrops though I know alcohol is not allowed in prison.
Wow. Lots of really unhealthy deep fried foods and sugar. That stuff’ll kill ya.
I think I may have lost my appetite at this point:(
As a former Death Row guard I can tell you that all alcohol requests are refused. Even near beer is still refused I think.
Keep in mind unless the inmate orders something special like from McDonalds or KFC all of the food is prepared in the prison kitchen. Your Momma is not the one doing the cooking, and it shows…
By the way that explanation is dead on as to why we offer a last meal, and sometimes the Warden will share the meal with the inmate.
sorry guys for some of the misspelled words i get the chills just thinking about getting executed.
you guys are so funny now that is what i get for lol. Me personally i would not want a last me i would be to choked up to eat and not to mention so nervous that everytime i move or someone says anything to me i would just pee on my self thats how nervous i would be. But on the reali would request that i would like coronas so that i wont feel the execution that is put upon me and especially the pain.
Hmmmmmmmmm… I would choose CHEESEBURGERS with Dr. Pepper, and lots and lots of alcohol so I would be soooooo drunk I would not realize what was going on and the BAM IM DEAD
Fried Bald Eagle in a red wine reduction sauce, with poached Condor eggs, a cucumber from Michelle Obama’s white house garden and (what the hell) french truffles wrapped in edible solid gold for dessert. No question, theee best way to grub before you croak.
… Anyway.. I hope.. all of us never have to do that.. last meal…
I really wonder is it still taste great.. If we know we will die by a head shot or even else…
In Indonesia my country.. there is last meal also..
Peace .. condemption.. prayer.. asking for forgiveness to those we’ve done wrong is absolutely the best to do before that..
.
I agree with giving them their choice of a last meal. Why? I think it shows our humanity towards them right up to the end when we could have just put a bullet in their head way back.
holy crap, i’m drinking dr pepper right now
My Death Row Meal would be a jar of Nutella http://bit.ly/FO0Ok
Dude, they’re are going to be dead in 24 hours anyway! WHO CARES WHAT THEY EAT?!?!
they should get a bowl of nothing, or maybe with the meal they have to have a picture or pictures of the victims (dead) placed in front of them. Their victims get no chicken or ribs or Dr. Pepper. Its bullshit.
what would your death row last meal be? http://zombie-popcorn.com/?p=317
@JSCarroll Texans on death row seem to enjoy Dr. Pepper with their last meal http://zombie-popcorn.com/?p=317
Drinking Dr Pepper right now. I would def choose french fries, vegan fried chicken and dr pepper as my last meal.
mmm..dr pepper – mmm vegan fried chicken…mmm death row? I am with you Drew – I think I am going to eat some now!
“the lords last supper”
thats the connection ya dafties…………..with what mr baylis said and its in a nutshell
Top 10 Death Row Last Meal Requests from Texas. http://zombie-popcorn.com/?p=317 (notice the irony behind some requesting Dr. Pepper?)
we just got a new teacher and she made us write wat we would like for our last meal, but it had to be vegetarian lol…but isnt it true they grant ur last wishes as well, lke that happen to this one dude on his last day he went to disney world with his daughter, but some of these people have the worst last meals lol
My friend on Orkut shared this link and I’m not dissapointed that I came here.
Your a vegan? and from Texas??? You must not of been born here.
Can you order twat as your last meal?
How about a McDonald’s filet-o-fish (which is quite delicious due to the steamed bun)
It’s wierd to think about what I’d pick if I were in that situation. I’d probly just ask for some Hot and Readys for Little Caesars.
There is no purpose to feed someone who has killed someone for the last time.
my last meal would be a massive tbone steak, lobster, rack of ribs, baked potatoe, keg of beer, and a glass of milk
oh damn, Catherine – you totally busted me!
I did know about the period, but I never catch myself when I write it.
I will not correct it in this post – just to prove to everyone that no matter how much you love Dr Pepper, there is someone out there who will always one up you.
Thanks for catching that.
*trying to redeem myself* Have you been to the Dr Pepper Museum in Dublin, Texas?
As someone who’s been to the Dr Pepper museum in Waco, you do know that there’s no period (.) after Dr, right?
Miguel Flores knows what’s goin’ on! Delicious! HA!
i’m going to kill you!!!
Mine is chicken fried “steak” and Dr. Pepper. Not friggin question. That would also be my last breakfast, last lunch, last brunch and last snack, if given the option…
google pulled up this — In pre-modern Europe, the ritual of granting the condemned a last meal has its seeds in common superstition: a meal was a highly symbolic social act. Accepting food, which was offered freely, meant to make one’s peace with the host – the guest agreed tacitly to take an oath of truce and symbolically abjured all vengeance. Consequentially, in accepting the last meal the condemned was believed to forgive the executioner, the judge, and the witnessing mob. The ritual was supposed to prevent the delinquent from haunting those people, who were responsible for his or her killing, as a ghost or a revenant. The meal was therefore mainly a superstitious precaution and – following that logic – the better the food and the drinks, the safer the condemned’s oath of truce. Last meals were often public and all parties which were involved in the penal process took part.
Wonder what the big deal is about the last meal – where did this come from? The last request thing? Most asked for a meal so why not make it a last meal?
I am pretty speechless. Leave it to you to write this post!
I remember your love of Dr. Pepper. It’s strange to think of this as people’s last beverage.
hahaha – I was born in Texas and grew up there.
