If you had one last meal to eat before you died, what would it be?
That was
the question asked of death row inmates at a Florida jail, reports The Daily
Mail .
No
matter how brutal their crimes, the prisoners are served their choice of meal
prior to execution.
While
most leapt at the last chance for indulgence and ordered decadent treats, some
opted for a more simplistic meal.
