People who commit criminal offenses end up in jail, or in the most severe cases, they may be sentenced to the death penalty. Those who were given a death sentence may have the chance to request their last meal.
As you consider all this, do you wonder what kind of food they ask for at their final meal? Let's explore the eight of the most bizarre last meals that death row inmates requested.
Gary Carl Simmons, Jr., a drug addict and grocery store butcher, was found guilty of the 1996 homicide and dismemberment of Jeffrey Wolfe and the rape of his fiancée, who had visited his residence to settle a drug debt amounting to approximately $20,000. He requested a meal that contained pizza, Doritos, McDonald's fries, strawberry shakes, and ice cream for his final supper. Nevertheless, he did not consume the button-bursting feast that he had requested. The meal reportedly contained 29,000 calories.
Twenty beef tacos and enchiladas, two double cheeseburgers, a jalapeño pizza, and fried chicken were among the many foods that 42-year-old Peter J. Miniel requested. He additionally asked for spaghetti, fruit cake, half a chocolate and vanilla cake, cookies-n-cream and caramel-pecan fudge ice cream, two Cokes, two Pepsis, two root beers, and two glasses of orange juice.
Steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and pecan pie were the foods that Rector, who was mentally disabled during his sentence on execution row, wanted for his final dinner. On the other hand, he did not take the pecan pie with him and instead told a security agent that he was "saving it for later."
At the age of 41, Teresa Lewis was executed through a fatal injection in the state of Virginia. Murder, conspiracy, and robbery were the charges that led to her being sentenced to death. Lewis asked for fried chicken, peas with butter, apple pie, and a Dr. Pepper to serve her as her final meal.

Allen Lee Davis, who murdered Nancy Weiler, a pregnant lady, was put to death in 1999. He was ironically known as "Tiny." His final dinner included one lobster tail, fried potatoes, half a pound of fried shrimp, six ounces of fried clams, half a loaf of garlic bread, and 32 ounces of A&W root beer.
Ted Bundy, who is considered to be one of the most notorious serial killers of the contemporary era, admitted to committing 30 murders between the years 1974 and 1978; nevertheless, the actual number of victims continues to remain unknown. As a result of Bundy's refusal to have a final supper, he was provided with the typical menu that is served to inmates on death row, which consists of a steak cooked to a medium rare, eggs over easy, hash browns, toast, coffee, milk, juice, butter and jelly.
An inmate named James Edward Smith demanded an entire pile of dirt for his final meal, one of the most bizarre requests received. The prison denied his request, and he ultimately settled for a cup of yogurt instead.
The final meal that Ronnie Lee Gardner, an inmate, consumed was a surprise. A steak, a lobster tail, an apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and a 7-Up were the goods that Gardner placed an order for. In addition, he requested that he be allowed to watch the trilogy of "The Lord of the Rings," which he did while reading "Divine Justice" during the 48 hours leading up to his death.
