INCOLDBLOGGER.BLOGSPOT.com- You have one final decision before your life is over: what will you eat for your last meal? Porterhouse steak? Beef Wellington? French nouvelle?

In Texas, where we keep painfully detailed Death House records, the most common answer is surprising: cheeseburgers and fries. Why? After 20 years in stir, where cheeseburgers aren’t commonly served in the prison chow line, they are the most evocative comfort food in a Dead Man Walking’s memory of the outside world. Or maybe they just taste good.

This comes as no real big surprise.  Shocker! Dead man walking wants cheeseburgers.  ”Hey you, in cell #219, what’s on the menu for your last meal”?  Inmate: Looks like you rode the short bus to school, a cheeseburger, duh, what else….any more brainbusters?”  The article mentions one dude asking for cherries and Cool Whip??  Hmmm…he must have been beaten with beef, pickles and hamburger buns as a child.
