I feel like rambling. Join me.
I was reading about final meal requests (http://www.trutv.com/library/crime/photogallery/last-meals.html?curPhoto=5) (I suppose I was in a morbid mood?), and I thought some of my observations were interesting. This isn't a comprehensive list. I just read about 30 people or so, and it's entirely unscientific. Just the way I likes it.
By race
Black Men: The most popular choice appeared to be cheeseburgers, or fried chicken. Seems like a majority them requested one of those. It was really close. Followed by the occasional steak or pork chop. Popular sides were greens, buttered corn, french fries, chef salads, and things like that. Some times it would be a breakfast item. Desserts appeared to mostly be different types of cake or ice cream. Coke and Dr. Pepper were popular drinks. Sweet tea was also up there.
White Men: It's true. They love sandwiches. Well, cheeseburgers, but that's in the sandwich family. This was probably tied with fried chicken. Then of course there were a few steaks and pork chops. Their sides were also pretty similar to everyone else, but they seemed to also like mashed potatoes a little more. I can understand, as creamed potatoes kick ass. White people also ordered TexMex and several of them did the whole breakfast for dinner. Once again Coke, Dr. Pepper, and sweet tea were frequently requested. Cake or ice cream was also a very popular dessert.
Hispanic Men: The entrees were usually TexMex, fried chicken and burgers. Everyone likes fried chicken or a burger apparently. Sides were the usual salads and things. Desserts were also typical, with pie, cake, and ice cream.
Unusual requests: Cup of hot tea and six chocolate chip cookies, a bag of Jolly Ranchers, an entire bowl of salad dressing, a single olive with the pit still in and nothing else, only cool whip and cherries, only a single pot of coffee.
Females: There were only two, so it's basically nothing to go on. A banana, a peach, a garden salad with ranch dressing. The other one wanted a bag of cheetos and a soda. I guess they didn't eat much because they were still worried about getting fat? :mock: No? Fiiine.
Rambling: One thing was interesting. 3-4 people asked for KFC fried chicken, and they were all white, from what I recall. I'll have to side with the everyone on this one. If I'm going to die, I want it hand breaded and fried. :| They also liked fast food in general. Dominos and Burger Kind made a few appearances. Fast food as a last meal?
Other than white people and their fast food and "brinner", everyone seemed to have really similar taste.
Some people really love to gorge themselves. I suppose they're trying to enjoy every favorite thing one last time.
No one ordered any alcohol! Maybe it has something to do with the lethal injection, but if not then I'm completely surprised. Before I go, I want a beer. :colbert: Several people ordered a lot of soda. 6 to 15 cans.
Ordering cheeseburgers and fried chicken at the same time was popular across the board.
So now that my random rambling is out of the way, what would be your last meal? Y'know, besides the obligatory chicken fried cheese burger. I still can't decide. I want everything from a bento box, to lobster, to meatloaf with mashed potatoes with gravy and broccoli. That's right, it's another thread about food!
Feel free to ramble about any of my ramblings too. Some of those last requests were odd.
Finally, let's keep it light hearted. Any debates about your stance on the death penalty should be taken to EOEO. This is for your last meal thoughts, or your thoughts on the last meal requests of others.
