What on earth is that last one? It looks like a chocolate-covered espresso bean, but I think that’s just my tired stomach talking.
This is a fascinating series, though. It reminds me of some other food art — like hospital food — that I came across in a food porn roundup:

I hope the guy with the fruit didn’t get the chair…..he might have exploded into a pile of shit.

Should have asked for one of these: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg and told them to take their time with it.

“I hope the guy with the fruit didn’t get the chair…..he might have exploded into a pile of shit.”
Half the time I think that’s why the condemned choose the meals they do – one last “F*ck You!” to the system. They choose meals that will cause diarrhoea knowing some poor sod will have to clean it up afterwards.

If I’m gonna get the chair, I want my last meal to be a pound of unpopped popcorn and a glass of vegetable oil.

@ brhnugs. I think the man/ or woman wanted to try out the age old mystery of does your stomache explode if you ingest all of that at one time. A similar result is said to come from bannans and sprite, mentos and coke, and pop rocks and coke. I think it was cool that he wanted to experiement with life and prove it true or false once and for all.

I think if I had to choose a last meal, I’d get myself a fortune cookie. :D
Dec 1st, 2010 / 9:55 am
Most people ordering a last meal don’t even have the appetite to eat it. Would you?
