Last Meal On The Andrea Doria...

The SS Andrea Doaria. Oppulent ocean liner for the Società di navigazione Italia. With a gross tonnage of 29,100 tons and a capacity of over 1200 passenger and a crew of 500.

Like the Titanic, the Andrea Doria was Italy's largest, fastest, and safest ship. Well apparently not that safe.
It was July 25th, 1956, while sailing off the coast of Nantucket, bound for New York city. It was 11:10pm that evening, the final night of the voyage that disaster struck.
In heavy fog, the Swedish ship Stockholm struck the Andrea Doria. With a deep gash on it's starboard side, the Andrea Doria listed and started taking on water. What made the disaster different from the Titanic was the quick response of rescue teams. Also the ship stayed afloat for over 10 hours before finally sinking in the cold waters of the Atlantic. Only 40 people perished in this disaster as opposed to over a thousand from the Titanic.

Earlier that evening, there was one last dinner. A farewell dinner for the passengers. It was quite a feast.

Their last meal was:

Cocktails: Tomato juice or Grapefruit juice
Parma raw ham
Nantes sardines
Lingurienne olives
Butter
Salad Italienne
Clear beef broth in cup, hot or cold
Rice, squash and parsley
Consome with vermicellini, Andalouse
Gray snapper fillets, Belle Meuniere
Parsleyed potatoes
Roast Forli poulardine on a skewer
Mixed salad – French dressing
Tortoni ice cream cup
Saiwa biscuits
Basket of fresh fruit
Italian and American coffee – Tea
Gran Italian sparkling wine
Red table wine

Bugs Bunny's Last Meal...

By LES NESSMAN, Associated Press Writer Mon Oct 17, 9:12 AM ET
Hollywood, California - Bugs Bunny, famed cartoon rabbit, adored by millions, was put to death early this morning by lethal injection. Mr. Bunny, was convicted of pigslaughter in the August 2001 murder of Porky Pig. Officers of the LA county sheriff's department found the carcass of Mr. Pig in the basement of Bugs Bunny's residence early Saturday morning back on August 11th 2001. FBI was called to the scene where ribs, pork shoulder and hamhocks were sitting in Bunny's freezer. A partially eaten breakfast of eggs, carrots and bacon was found in the kitchen. Pathologist where able to determine the bacon was from Mr. Pig.

Bugs Bunny enjoyed a last meal of carrot stew, french fries and a Mr. Pibb yesterday. He was walked to the execution chamber at 11:58pm last night. After talking with a minister, he was asked for any last statements. Mr. Bunny just stared to the ceiling and replied, "Ehhh, yeah, I asked for carrot soup and all I got was carrot stew. Ehhhh, I just wanted the reporters to know this, doc."
The warden gave the go ahead to start the execution at 12:01am. Thirty seconds after the start, Bugs took two or three breaths and let out a rattle of air. He was pronounced dead at 12:03am by Los Angles County coroners.
Funeral and burial is slated for later this week.

Gandhi's Last Meal...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, died on January 30th, 1948. He was a national icon who led the struggle for India's independence from British colonial rule. Unlike today's reformist, who use terrorism, torture, and violence to inflict change, Gandhi was opposed any form of terrorism or violence, instead using only the highest moral standards. His philosophy of nonviolence had influenced national and international nonviolent resistance movements. The Civil Rights movement being a perfect example.
Before the G-man was assassinated, he enjoyed one last meal. It's a bit unusual for my taste in Indian cusine. Mr. Passive-resistance liked it fruity for sure.
His last meal:

Consisted of goat's milk, cooked vegetables, oranges, and a concoction of ginger, sour lemons, and strained butter with the juice of aloe.

Over a bed of basimati rice with garlic nan? Forget about it!

A Soldier From WWI Last Meal...

Trench warfare. The most brutal of fighting was taking place. After the Battle of the Aisne in September of 1914, the German and Allied armies dug in. What started out as a simple trench, turned into an immense series of interlocking tunnels and trenches. Soldiers would sit in trenches, day and night. Peeking over the top of the trench ever so carefully across "no man's land" toward the enemy fortifications. Shots fired. Mustard gas thrown. To be gassed in the trenches were a certain and painful death. Struggling WWI soldiers at the time had to eat a healthy well balanced meal during those harrowing and desperate times. What did Uncle Sam pack for our doughboys?

A solders last meal would be:

Roast beef, corned beef, salmon, or sardines
Salt
Sugar,
Soluble coffee
Alcohol
Cigarettes

Each meal unit was packed in a large, galvanized tin container, designed to protect the contents from the poison gas the Germans loved to use so much.

Charles Lindbergh's Last Meal Onboard The Spirit Of St. Louis

As history would have it. Charles Lindbergh was not the first person to fly across the Atlantic. Historically, Charles Lindbergh was the first person to fly non-stop from New York to Paris. Previous flights were done in stages. What made Lindbergh's unique was it was non-stop, no refueling or rest break. The entire trip took about 33 1/2 hours.
Since flying for that long with no break was a danger, especially to Lindbergh, whose main concern was falling asleep behind the controls, the last thing Linbergh wanted to do was eat. You see, Lindbergh was basically sleep deprived even before he took off that morning in New York. He had been up for almost 80 hours without sleep. 33 for the New York - Paris trip and 40 some odd hours before hand. He figured if you ate, then you would get sleepy from the meal, and from there crash into the icy waters of the North Atlantic. Lindbergh eventually succumbed to eating, since he wanted to keep his strength up. His one and only meal onboard the Spirit was:

A sandwich. Mystery meat no less.

When Lindbergh took off, May 1927, he left with a sack of five sandwiches and two canteens of water. He had described the sandwiches only as being made from "meat".
His log for the meal read as: "Why, it's past supper time! I untwist the neck of the paper bag, and pull out a sandwich... my first food since take-off... Bread and meat never touched my tongue like this before. One sandwich is enough. . . ."

Richard Nixon's Last Meal...In the White House

Richard Nixon, Tricky Dick to his fans. 37th president of the U.S.
Nixon resigned his position as President Of The United States, live on national T.V., on August 9th, 1974. It was through Nixon's Committee to Re-Elect the President or CREEP as it was fondly known, that brought demise to the presidency. The Watergate scandal fleshed out Nixon's administration's rampant corruption, illegality, and deceit. Tax evasion, bribes, illicit campaign contributions as well as secret bombings, and harassed opponents with executive agencies all came to light. One by one his cabinet resigned their position and eventually the cheese stands alone. To escape impeachment and jail, he resigned with his Vice president Gerald Ford to pardon him of any crimes he may or may not have committed.

His last meal in White House was:

Pineapple slices

Milk

Cottage Cheese

A wholesome meal for a relatively unwholesome administration.

Bonnie Lee Blakely's Last Meal...

Listen toots. The moon is blue and there is nothing you can do.
Vitello's restaurant was the place and one Robert Blake, famous for being Mickey in the Our Gang Little Rascal shorts and more so as Barretta, was dining with estranged wife Bonnie Lee Blakely. As fate would have it some rigmarole occurred and Bonnie Lee got it in the hat. Our man Mr. Blake when through millions in defense funds and a few months in the hoosegow before getting off on the crime and heading out to go "cowboying."

You know, cowboying? Heading out for a long drive before setting down in some dive. Playing pool with some Portuguese bar fly while downing shots of tequila.
Yet, Bonnie Lee wasn't all lily white here. Known con artist, she was probably making Blake's life a living hell to some degree. I'm uncertain that perhaps more than half of that hell was Blake's own engineering, but that's neither here or there. Bonnie was offed while Robert went back into Vitello's restaurant to look for his gun. Sad really. I mean, when I'm out dining with my wife, a 9mm keeps us company. You'd be surprised how attentive the matre'd and waiters are when you brandish a gun.

Anywho, Bonnie's last meal was typical Italian fare. She had:

Meat ravioli
Salad with blue cheese dressing
Iced tea

Robert dined on a delicious corkscrew pasta in garlic, olive oil, spinach & fresh tomatoes. Hell, they even named the dish after him as it shows up on the menu as, Fussilli e Minestra Alia Robert Blake.

The meal came to $18.45 sans tip, and the defense for offing your wife was at least 10 million.

Not sure if Blake tipped his lawyer. If not, he sure better.

Nicole Brown Simpson's Last Meal...

Nicole Brown Simpson, former wife of OJ Simpson, had a nice meal at the Mezzaluna cafe.


Her last meal was:

Rigatoni

Salad

Ice cream

The rigatoni and salad was eaten at the cafe. She left around 8:30pm to have ice cream with her family at a local shop. This information was verified in the autopsy report. It was around 9-9:30pm that she called the Mezzaluna cafe to report that she left her sunglasses there. Ron Goldman, always the helpful gentleman returned them around 10-10:30pm and by that time they were both slaughtered.

OJ did it. Didn't do it? It was a setup?
Really, if OJ is going to dedicate his life finding the real killers (quick look in the mirror OJ!) then I'm not sure he's going to find them on golf courses.

Julia Child's Last Meal...

The French Chef herself probably never had a last "special" meal. Last meal for sure, but she died peacefully in her sleep as opposed to knowing her demise.
She did, however, plan out her last meal for the past 40 years believe it or not. During an interview she gave this menu for her last meal, if she were to have one.

Caviar

Oysters

Foie gras

Pan-roasted duck

A poached pear or pungent sorbet with walnut cake.

Bon Appetite!

The Terminator's Last Meal...

If a cyborg would want to eat, it's last meal would have to be made by a sushi robot of course

Black Hole's Last Meal...

Only 10 million light-years from Earth, this Black Hole had a final meal of

Centaurus A's galaxy.

This meal was followed by 10 trillion gallons of pepto bismol and an after dinner mint.

The Black Hole's reply to us, "The galaxy was tart on my tongue."

Jeholornis prima's Last Meal...

Fossil of a Jeholornis prima, a turkey-sized bird that lived more than 100 million years ago, shows that it's last meal in the Mesozoic era was:

Seeds.

Scientist at the Chinese Academy of Sciences are still studying the seeds to figure out from what type of plant they came from. The fossil is unusual since it was thought that most birds from that time period ate either fish, or insects.

Party on Jeholornis Prima!

Odel Barnes Jr's Last Meal Is A Little Hard To Swallow...

Odell Barnes, Jr.

The Crime: Helen Bass was murdered on November 30, 1989. She had been shot, bludgeoned, and stabbed. She was found face down on her bed, nude. A rifle butt was found in her room and a kitchen knife covered in blood was found on the floor just inside the door to her house. The room was in shambles. Her jewelry box and two purses appeared to have been dumped and scattered. Other belongings were discovered near a fence outside her house. Barnes was arrested, tried, and convicted for the murder.

Executed: 03/01/2000

His Last Meal: Justice, Equality, World Peace.

However he was probably served whatever the meal was on the menu in the prison kitchen.

Why perhaps we rushed to judgement a little too quickly in Mr Barnes case:

• The original defense attorneys appointed by the state failed to investigate, and thus failed to discover and present evidence of Barnes's innocence.
• The original defense attorneys failed to have evidence that was used to convict Barnes tested by defense experts.
• Counsel who took over the case for federal appeals sought analysis of the crime scene, fingerprint identification, DNA testing, and additional time to conduct a factual investigation. All these requests were denied.
• Counsel in federal appeals nonetheless carried out independently funded investigations that yielded substantial evidence that raised doubts about Barnes's guilt.
• Blood on Barnes's coveralls, part of the evidence used to secure his conviction, contained a preservative found in test tubes used to store blood. The expert opinion of the chemist, hired by the defense, was that it did not come from "original, legitimate crime scene evidence . . . deriving from natural bleeding from a normal human being."
• The primary eyewitness and his sister saw a man jump a fence near the crime scene one and one-half hours before the victim returned home. The witness told his sister that the man was not Barnes, but testified at trial that it was Barnes.
• The two main witnesses for the prosecution were implicated in the crime by independent witnesses.
• The fingerprint on the murder weapon was analyzed by the state and was found not to be Barnes's fingerprint. A defense expert identified the fingerprint as belonging to one of the state's main witnesses.
• A lamp on which Barnes's fingerprint was found, and that the state claimed had been recently acquired by the victim, had been in the victim's home for at least five years. Barnes had been in the house numerous times and had helped move furniture.
• Evidence suggests that one of the state's witnesses cut a deal with the District Attorney on two drug charges pending against him in exchange for his testimony, although this was not revealed to Barnes's original trial lawyers.

So much for the justice system. Anyhow, if you wish to enjoy Mr. Barne's last meal, here it is.

Japanese Prisoner's Last Meal...

Guess what?
You don't get one! Or I should say, you don't get a "special" last meal.
You see, in Japan, they handle the execution process a little different than here in the United States. In Japan, executions are performed not at prisons, but at detention centers. Those on death row are never sent to prison, but remain in the detention center until an appeal is won or their execution is carried out. The method used is hanging. Executions are usually carried out on Friday mornings, and convicts are not given advance notification. Surviving any Friday past nine a.m. guarantees another week of life. The names of the executed are never announced publicly, and the act of execution may not be acknowledged until well after the event. Even family and attorneys are not informed of the deaths firsthand - they learn of the executions when the detention center requests that a prisoner's possessions or ashes be picked up. Ammesty International is up in arms over how executions are handled and state they are inhumane.

So, let me get this straight...A guy goes out. He's angry at the world. Lashes out and kills some innocent person. That person never got advanced warning that, "Hey, in a few minutes some nut job is going to come up and kill you. Sorry." Yet, that guy is convicted of murder and sentence to death. Furthermore this guy isn't given advanced notification of his death, just like his victim. So, the furror of Ammesty International is the cruelty involved in this? Why is one death treated differently than the other? Should we just pass a law that if you are an aspiring murderer that you give your victim 24hr advanced notice before carrying out the deed?
Talk about crazy...

A Joke About Ted Bundy's Last Meal...

Did you hear about Ted Bundy's last meal?
In the morning he got bacon, eggs, and toast. Later on that same day, he got the juice.

Thomas Grasso's Last Meal: Big F'ing Wah!

Aw, poor Thomas Grasso. He just didn't get the last meal he wanted. You see, Tommy boy here ordered Spagehetti-O's for his last meal. Instead he got

Spaghetti.

Lethal injection followed. It was a punishment he so deserved for killing an 87 year old woman for her social security check. Poor fella. He gave this last statement before they pumped him with the hearth stopping chemicals on March 20th, 1995.

"I did not get my Spaghetti-O's, I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this."

Dammit! Where is the justice?
Screw the murdered 87 year old lady and her SS check for $505 dollars. Where is the justice for Thomas here and his Spaghetti-o's?!? When is the prison system and the media going to wake up and smell the coffe that in a society that treats it's fellons like victims, we need to bend over backwards and satisfy those prisoners special needs.

Baghdad Iraqi Republican Guard's Last Meal...

April 2003. U.S. invades Iraq. As the Marine 1st Division moved toward Baghdad, the Iraqi Republican Guard high tailed it out of the city before the Marines showed up. Their last meal was breakfast before dropping their weapons and packing it in.
They had:

Boiled brown eggs

Sausages

Tea

The Marine division found left over breakfasts in foxholes as they approached the city. Shame those Iraqi soliders couldn't hang around to finish, belch and maybe have a few yucks over the Sunday funnies.

Buddha's Last Meal...

Siddhattha Gotama (b: 563 BC, d: 483 BC), the Lord Buddha. Buddha's last meal sort of reminds me of the joke about how did Buddha order his hot dog?

Answer: Make me one with everything.

Unfortunately for Buddha, he died shortly after eating a special meal that was made in his honor. The meal is called "sukaramaddava" which translates to "soft pork". Many scholars debate on what soft pork could be but accient text shows that the meal itself was

Mushrooms.

Now, Buddha died shortly after the meal. Before he died he suffered from an attack of the dysentery. It's uncertain that he was suffereing from an illness that the mushrooms only escalated or if the mushrooms themselves were poisoned. We'll never know.

What Won't Be In Your Last Meal...

You’re being executed for a crime against humanity. In the United States you get a last meal. It can be anything you want just as long as the prison kitchen can provide it or make it and/or it doesn’t cost more than $20.00. Most requests are granted, but the only requests that are definitely not granted are:

Tobacco and tobacco products e.g.; cigars, cigarettes…, etc.
Alcohol and alcohol products e.g.; beer, wine, liquor…, etc.

These items are against prison policy and are forbidden. Strange since in the old days, when a prisoner was placed before a firing squad, he/she was given a blindfold and a smoke. Boy have the times changed or what?

A Last Meal For China's Prisoners...

If you are a prisoner on death row in China, you are given this typical last meal.

One large mantou (steamed bread) and five(hard-boiled) eggs

or

A large bowl of meat dumplings

Prisoners are then taken to a spot way from the civilian population. Reason being so the prisoners can’t yell out anti-government slogans or speech. The prisoners are trussed up with their arms behind their back and put in a kneeling position. A solider will come around behind each prisoner and put a bullet into the prisoner’s head. It’s obviously a fatal shot. From there the body is rushed to the hospital so the prisoner’s organs are harvested for organ transplant. Usually the harvesting is down against the prisoner’s wishes or family’s wishes. The prisoner’s family is then presented a bill for the bullet used to kill their loved one (usually 6 cents) and the cost of the cremation of the body. If the family refuses to pay, then they don’t get the ashes. Usually the ashes are used as fertilizer for farming.

Oh, yum!

A bottle of Bushnels in a glass

Delbert Teague Jr's Last Meal...

Poor Delbert Teague, Jr. Him and his friend shot and robbed this guy while he was with his girlfriend. Shot the boyfriend in the head and then sexually assaulted the girlfriend back in April of 1985. Sentence to death in September 9th, 1998, he didn't want a last meal. I guess the thought of having his life snuffed sort of killed his appetite. He did, however, have one last meal, at his mother's request. It was

A hamburger.

I can see the discussion on that one:

"Oh, come on honey, you have to eat...To keep up your strength...you know?"
"No Ma, really I'm not hungry."
"Oh no! No son of mine is going to die by lethal injection on an empty stomach. Eat something!"
"Jeez, okay Ma. I'll have a hamburger, fries, and Dr. Pepper."
"No, you'll have broccoli and milk."
"Ma!!!"
"And you're not walking into that chamber dressed like that. You'll wear your navy suit..."
"Ma! Please!!!"
"What was the last time you got a haircut? Oy! You'll embarass me walking to your execution with long hair like that, didn't I raise you right? What WILL my friends at the garden club say?"
Teague calling guard, "Guard! Guard! Kill me now!!!"

Tuna fish sandwich.

The Italian responds, Peperoni Pizza, which he is served and then, executed.
The Frenchmen requests a Filet Mignon, which he is served and then, executed.

Elvis, the king of rock and roll, oddly enough died on the throne (toilet).
Autospy reports indicated that his last meal before dropping anchor was:

If you were a vegan...

Here's some ideas.

Francois Mitterrand's Last Meal Was For The Birds...

Dying of cancer, Francois Mitterrand ordered a last meal of:

Oysters

Foie gras

Capons

L'Ortolan: which is the eating of a Ortolan bird, a tiny, yellow-throated songbird that is illegal to eat in France. The bird is roasted and eaten bones and all.

L'Ortolan recipe is as follows.

Preperation: The birds must be taken alive; once captured they are either blinded or kept in a lightless box for a month to gorge on millet, grapes, andfigs, a technique apparently taken from the decadent cooks of ImperialRome who called the birds beccafico, or 'fig-pecker'. When they'vereached four times their normal size, they're drowned in a snifter ofArmagnac.

Cooking: Simply pop them in a high oven for six to eight minutes and serve.

Eating: When cool, begin to chew. It should take about 15 minutes to work yourway through the breast and wings, the delicately crackling bones, and onto the inner organs. Devotees claim they can taste the bird's entire life as they chew in the darkness: the wheat of Morocco, the salt air of the Mediterranean, the lavender of Provence. The pea-sized lungs and heart, saturated with Armagnac from its drowning, are said to burst in a liqueur-scented flower on the diner's tongue. Enjoy with a good Bordeaux wine.

Collect them all!

Why Victor was such a swell guy: Soon after arriving, he phoned Doctor Edward Bartels, claiming that a woman needed medical attention. When Dr. Bartels arrived, Feguer kidnapped him. Feguer killed Bartels, a 34 year old father of two, in Illinois, a single gunshot to the head. A few days later, Feguer was arrested in Montgomery, Alabama after trying to sell Dr. Bartels' car.

Last Meal: A single olive.

Victor. Victor, now is not the time to start a diet...

John Wayne Gacy

John Wayne Gacy

Executed: May 10th 1994

Why he gives clowns a bad name: He claimed he had first killed in January 1972. He confessed to 33 murders, indicating where the bodies were in 28 of the cases—buried under his house. The other five he said were thrown into the Des Plaines River. Most of the victims were young male prostitutes. Some victims were also teenage boys whom Gacy had hired through his contracting firm. Bodies were uncovered from December 1978 to April 1979, when the last known victim was found downstream in the Illinois River.

He topped it all off with this last meal: Fried chicken, french fries, and fresh strawberries.

Last Meals In The United States.

• In the State of Georgia, the total cost of the last meal must be under $20 (as of 2004).
• Most states give the meal a day or two prior to execution, and use the Euphemism: "special meal".
• Most states do not allow alcohol and tobacco.
• In Texas all food must come from within the prison system.
• In the case of an unorthodox or unavailable request, the most readily available substitute will be made.
