Maybe it depends on whether they have families/outside sources who can provide special requests. I do have a friend who has worked with death row inmates and has assured me that at least in some places, the choices are pretty limited - but it's true that I should be careful about posting secondhand information (although the source is reputable, to be sure). Breyer's mint chocolate chip is pretty tasty stuff. Jim - It’s good to hear that things are not so dismal in all prisons.

I especially sympathized with the guy who ate an entire pint of Breyer's Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. But hey--Texas.

I find it much more interesting to think about what Death might like to eat than to just compile favorites. Thinking about last meals always makes me remember the list of <a href="http://www.thememoryhole.org/deaths/texas-final-meals.htm" rel="nofollow"> Texas Death Row inmates' last meal requests</a>. What the list doesn't show is that, while some of the requests are obviously extraordinary, even the simple ones are almost never fulfilled. They only receive what is available in the prison kitchens that day. A sad way to end, I say.

Both of these dishes remind me of what I call 'home'. I remember Bryian fixing gumbo and corn bread in the cold of an Athens winter to warm the house and everyone who happened to stop by for food. I remember your Jambalaya at one of the first times we met and it reminds me of an Athens summer and crawling around in a field of summer grass. It's odd how food can remind ya of such strong memories. Always the Quest, -Tom I think it would be a tie between your Jambalaya and Bryian’s chicken gumbo.
