Have you ever taken a moment to consider what your absolute last meal would be? Some of history’s most notorious criminals have. Join us on a mouth-watering journey through their final foodie choices. Make sure to grab a bite because this will either make you hungry or raise an eyebrow (or both).
The Whimsical Whopper Wish: Joseph Mitchell Parsons
When thinking of a fast-food spree, Burger King might come to mind. Joseph went all out, indulging in the classic Whopper burgers, crisp fries, and a delectable chocolate shake. But what’s truly unique? He threw in chocolate chip ice cream and a packet of grape Hubba Bubba bubble gum. Maybe he wanted his final moments to be chewy and fun.
One Olive Odyssey: Victor Harry Feguer
Among extravagant feasts, Victor’s choice stands out starkly. Just a single olive. No sides, no fancy dressing. A lone olive with its pit, as if he hoped to leave behind a symbolic message or was simply in the mood for minimalism. Nobody knows why he did this, but it meant something to him.
Coffee and Contemplation: Aileen Carol Wuornos
The name Aileen Wuornos sends shivers down many spines. But her final meal choice? A single cup of coffee. Perhaps she desired the warmth and aroma to soothe her nerves or simply sought to experience one last caffeine kick.
Fry, Fry Again: Allen Lee Davis
Allen, a seafood enthusiast, opted for an oceanic menu. From a lavish lobster tail to generous portions of fried shrimp and clams, he dove deep. And to balance it out? Garlic bread and a whopping 32 ounces of A&W root beer. Truly a sea-worthy feast.
McVeigh’s Minty Munchies: Timothy McVeigh
Among the various rich and hearty requests, Timothy kept it simple and sweet: two pints of mint chocolate chip ice cream. A childhood favorite for many, this refreshing pick brings back summer memories – a chilly way to say goodbye from a cold-hearted soul.
Sugar Rush Supreme: Gerald Lee Mitchell
Sweet-toothed Gerald had one simple desire for his last meal: Jolly Ranchers candy. An array of colorful, hard candies bursting with flavors, perhaps echoing the colorful twists of his own life. Clearly, even death doesn’t stop some people from having a criminally sweet tooth!
Delightful Dinner Date: Ronnie Lee Gardner
Ronnie seemed to want his last meal to mimic a fancy date night dinner. Savoring a juicy steak, rich lobster tail, a slice of classic apple pie, and finishing with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, he ended on a culinary high note.
Grandma’s Kitchen Reminiscence: Stephen Anderson
Stephen’s meal echoes the comfort of sitting in a grandma’s kitchen. Grilled cheese sandwiches oozing with gooey goodness, a pint of cottage cheese for some creamy contrast, a hominy/corn combo, and, to top it all off, peach pie paired with chocolate chip ice cream. And radishes. Because when it’s your last meal, why not?
The Classic Comfort Combo: John Wayne Gary
John seemed to be a lover of the classic American diner spread. Imagine this: golden fried shrimp, a hearty bucket of original recipe KFC, crispy French fries on the side, and to add a sweet twist, a pound of fresh strawberries. Ironically, he even owned a few KFC franchises before being caught.
Pizza Party Plus One: Barton Kay Kirkham
Barton’s choice is everyone’s comfort food: pizza and ice cream. It feels like a lazy Saturday night with movies playing in the background, though Barton’s circumstances were anything but casual. He claimed he chose this because it gives you life’s best taste in a single meal.
A Feast in Familiarity: Ted Bundy
Bundy didn’t fuss or customize. When he declined a unique last meal, he received the standard fare: a medium-rare steak, sunny-side eggs, a side of hash browns, buttery toast with jelly, and, to wash it all down, some milk and juice. It might be a standard meal, but this was no standard guy.
A Feast, Literally: Dennis Bagwell
Steak, chicken, BBQ ribs – Dennis seemed to want a bite of all his favorite proteins; French fries, onion rings, bacon, a lavish dozen scrambled eggs, fresh tomatoes, and a side salad. But wait, there’s more: two hearty hamburgers, delicious peach pie, and a range of beverages. This wasn’t just a meal; it was a banquet.
Philanthropy over Food: Philip Ray Workman
Philip’s final wish wasn’t for himself but for the homeless. Asking the prison to provide pizzas to those in need, and when they declined, he chose to starve, turning his final meal into a silent yet loud protest. Across the country, many people donated pizzas to the homeless to honor his wishes.
Treats and Sweets: Dobie Gills Williams
When the end is near, some might turn to comfort sweets. Dobie sure did, requesting ice cream (a timeless choice) and not one, not two, but a dozen chocolate bars. Here’s to hoping it was a sweet departure and different from the pain he caused others.
Mega Meal Mania: Gary Carl Simmons Jr
Gary seemed to challenge the kitchen with his extensive request. Two hearty deep-dish pizzas from Pizza Hut, heaps of Parmesan cheese, a plethora of ranch dressing, and a spicy mix of jalapeño nacho cheese with Doritos. And for drinks? Cherry Coke and strawberry shakes. A meal that’s bound to induce a food coma.
Birthday Bash Bonanza: David Leon Woods
David’s last meal choice was like a birthday celebration most of us would fondly remember from our younger years. He opted for a cheesy, melt-in-your-mouth pizza that brings back memories of noisy kids, colorful party hats, and the fun of blowing out candles. But what’s a birthday without cake? David knew this well and ensured he had a slice of classic birthday cake, complete with creamy frosting.
The Ultimate Southern Spread: Ricky Ray Rector
Ricky Ray Rector’s last meal was a culinary tribute to the deep South. The steak was more than just juicy; it was a piece of perfectly cooked meat that screamed hearty comfort, while the fried chicken was golden and crispy. The cherry Kool-Aid added a sweet, tangy balance, and that slice of pecan pie? Pure Southern soul, buttery, nutty, and heartwarmingly sweet.
No Frills Farewell: Ronnie Paul Threadgill
Ronnie’s meal choice was a testament to humility and unity. Instead of demanding a lavish spread, Ronnie chose to have exactly what his fellow inmates were having that day. A tender serving of baked chicken, complemented by a medley of garden-fresh veggies. There was bread, soft and perfect for mopping up any remnants. He also had a simple drink.
A Mix of Highs and Lows: Thomas Joseph Grasso
Thomas’s culinary desires were a mix of gourmet and everyday comfort. On the one side, there were steamed mussels and clams, a dish that speaks of fine dining, of delicacies from the ocean served with intricacy. But then there was the stark contrast of a Burger King double cheeseburger – the universal symbol of fast-food indulgence. And just when you thought you had him pegged, Thomas threw in a wild card: a can of Spaghetti-Os at room temperature.
Okra, Eggplant, and…Soda? Marion Albert Pruett
Marion’s last meal was a gastronomic roller coaster. It started high with a stuffed crust Pizza Hut with a series of Burger King Whoppers. He also asked for crispy French fries alongside fried okra and eggplant. And just when you thought it was over, there was an entire pecan pie, sweet and nutty. The grand finale? Not one, not two, but three bottles of Pepsi, bubbling with fizz and nostalgia.
