Last Meals

Judging from the list provided by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, most condemned prisoners crave chocolate.

PETA wrote to Timothy McVeigh's warden, insisting that his last meal be meat-free. The protest turned out to be irrelevant, since McVeigh's request was for a quart of ice cream.
