So, you're on death row.......

Perhaps we should rename this thread 'what's your favourite meal?' because that's what it's really all about. I doubt Daddima expected or intended the scenario to provoke such a reaction and my earlier post was a bit heavy handed (sorry Daddima)...

My all-time favourite meal would be a big salmon fillet, boiled potatoes with lots of butter and plenty of fresh peas with a glass of chilled prosecco to wash it all down.

I'm with you Ana.

I am happy for you all that you can play this game.....

My son's best mate and business partner is in the last days of terminal acute myeloid lehkaemia. He is in his early 30's and will leave a wife and 3 children all at primary school.

Enjoy the game!

I'd choose a starter like potato and mushroom soup, followed by an Assiette de Fruits de Mer and Les Isles Flottante for pudding. Then a coffee liquor of some sort to finish. All eaten very slowly and carefully but I'd probably be lead to the scaffold or electric hair with chronic indigestion.

I have avoided this up to now despite some curiosity (no disrespect intended to OP as it is a common enough idea and just a game) but just dipping in, I see I am not alone in my reservations, grannylyn included.
Sorry Daddima, too many unpleasant images conjured up by the thought

True "grannylyn* to be on death row we would probably of had The Trump as president

Not a particularly nice thread

It seems the last meal of choice is a tradition in the US and when they announce an execution the details of the last meal are published. Perhaps by then, given the drawn out nature of the US system, the inmate is resigned to their fate and a meal of choice is a bit of a welcomed distraction.

Yes I think we did have a thread on favourite meals, but not under threat of imminent demise.

I too would not be able to eat anything under these circumstances. UNLESS....perhaps I could come up with some madly rare thing which would take them years to find, thereby giving me time to maybe have a pardon :-)

great idea Nanna ...,,but I will now be looking at my creme brûlées in a new light !

* kittylester* maybe when I got over to "the other side"???

Er when would you be saying that, gilly.

I had your "death row meal" on Thursday night Daddima . Lovely it was too. I have to have tomato ketchup with mine.

My death row meal would have to be Lobster because I've never tried it. I love seafood so at least I could say I'd tried it once.

Or at least I'd be sick all over the,warders.

If breakfast, full English esp. with black pudding, but extra bacon instead of egg. If dinner, a rich terrine as served at the Petite Perigourdine, Paris, followed by venison casseroled in red wine. Stilton, then creme Bruce. Washed down with Macon Villages, then Chateauneuf du Pape, then Sauternes. Coffee with Armagnac. I'd be dead before I left my cell

I would start with garlic crispy mushrooms , followed by fillet steak and ending the meal with a crème brulee laced with foxglove seeds.....the ensuing fatal heart attack would rob the state of their circus !!

Who can truly say, it would be hard to feel hungry with the prospect of imminent execution facing you,
However as it's a game I think I would eat light , a bowl of soup and a buttered roll with a piece of cheddar.

No need to be concerned about my ulcer so -

Bacon, black pudding and fried larva bread followed by a bar of green and blacks .

If I receive a last minute reprieve I will be in trouble

Haven't we just had a favourite meal thread?

I couldn't eat either but I might have a whole crusty loaf with tons of butter because the inevitable 'fall out' from eating gluten would be irrelevant!

No I wouldn't be able to look at plate of food
Never mind eat it!

I would not be able to eat at all and I doubt if anyone else facing execution would either.

I am with you in this Ana

Assuming it was breakfast, it would be muesli with extra nuts and dried fruit and double cream, not milk. Bacon, sausage, fried egg and mushrooms. Six-grain bread or roll with salted butter and marmalade (home-made, chunky). After all, the calories wouldn't matter.

I'd be feeling too scared to want to eat!

Mine would be egg on Frey buttered toast
