Family

My uncle was on death row. He was bulimic. For his last meal he ordered a steak, a salad and a bag.

I never met a man I should have ignored more than myself.

      He made the most out of his last meal. And left life with a clean cell.

      I'd use the bag to put over my head. A plastic bag might make the whole electric chair redundant.

    John, Like Terry (My Journey With Candida)says, yeah get the TO Go Bag and he can eat the rest with his next meal...ha I've always wondered why they make such a big deal over that last meal. I don't think I'd eat anything.

      it's especially bad if you have acid reflux, you don't want to be burping on the electric chair, it's not very polite.

      I wouldn't order the steak well done. That would remind me of the very near future. Or I'd eat it raw it would just cook in my stomach in few minutes.

    Escape death row by vomit! There is a headline, as it came back up, missing the bag and the guards slipped in his spit. Guess everything has a perk.

      They could slide along for his last mile. You said, perk but your subconscious meant puke.

    The prison one sounds believable. Your second statement reminds me of Groucho Marx, and that's a good thing.

    I like the flash fiction drawing of the character ~ These days I don't eat meat but will take a salad and sinfully decadent cakes for my last meal ~

      Decadent cake sounds great. There are years I don't eat meat. No reason other than I forget to order it.

    It is intersting to think what one would want for their last meal. I'd be like you; not sure I could eat anything.

      I think I could eat but certainly not fast food. Or maybe I'd keep sending back food until there wasn't a death penalty anymore.

    somebody had once made this nice visual gallery of famous prisoner's last meals. A few them ordered bread and water, and one guy chose nothing.

    Actually, that's very interesting. I'd love to see that. Bread and water, wow! Talk about bad self image, or maybe bad stomachs, you don't want your last memory to be of acid reflux.
