Heart of Billionaire x (however many billionaires there currently are)

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How would you like that prepared?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'd like it served as is, fresh from the chest cavity.

A second billionaire's heart

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Considering how many drugs some of those billionaires do, I'd suggest skipping on the liver.

[–] too_high_for_this@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Are you joking? They might have quaaludes in there

1 cubic meter of pure gold, sliced into bite sized cubes, completely enclosed in a nice icing, and not that fondant stuff.

Leftovers are to go to my family.

A kilo of dried magic mushrooms and a fat bag of mdma. I'm going to be glowing with transcendental joy and tripping the light fantastic. Hopefully I'd get the chair, can you imagine how good electricity would feel in that state?

Often, restrictions require a prisoner to choose foods that are available within the prison system or that cost less than a preset limit. Prisoners are usually denied requests that include alcohol or tobacco products.

RIP to the commenters.

I would probably want to smoke crack. Not like I can get hooked and ruin my life if I'm on death row already.

And you can't be executed until you've finished all your spinach?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How much spinach are you talking here

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 13 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

tbh I think Id be in no mood to actually eat anything, and trying to decide on anything in that circumstance sounds like itd just compound the anxiety , so given that itd be kind of a waste of food and wouldnt be of much comfort, Id probably just turn it down.

[–] fizzle@quokk.au 8 points 2 weeks ago

Its more for the benefit of your executionists. A fig leaf for their shame.

32 ounces of medium rare ribeye steak, bowl of spaghetti with alfredo sauce, 30 chicken wings (10 buffalo, 10 BBQ and 10 garlic butter), 750 of eagle rare 30 bourbon, pint of peanut butter ice cream and a 2 liter of Dr. pepper.

[–] kobra@piefed.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm curious about your preference for spaghetti with alfredo sauce. Why not fettuccine?

[–] Erusset@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

Same question. Less curious, more saddened.

Cheeky 30k bottle of booze in there, are you working on that through the meal or is that the grand finale?

[–] Return_of_Chippy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I edited because I realized I had the 17 year before not the 30. Did a quick google of the oldest eagle rare because thats what I thought I had. Turns out it was a 17. So the low low price of like 2 grand instead 😉. It'll be sipped throughout and then demolished when I'm ready.

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Honestly for me, I think I'd want a Berlin gemuse kebab, probably the Mustafa's one (mit käse of course) given I've got a lot of good memories attached to it.

Serve it up with a nice citrusy IPA

Probably finish with a tiramisu made by an Italian nonna

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
  • ten pounds of laxative chocolate
  • enough acid and molly to set my brain on fire
  • ipecac capsule as a petit four that can be taken on my way to the execution chamber

I'm going the same way I came. covered in shit, vomiting, and screaming to go back.

Paradox: Request to eat the brain stem of the person who will deliver the killing blow / throw the switch / administer the injection / etc.

If you are then killed by their replacement, then you weren't given what you asked for, contradicting rule 1. If you succeed, rule 2 has been contradicted.

But seriously. It's hard to choose. There was this one pub I visited (with parent) as a child that made the most delicious, dare I say, succulent, miniature pasties. I think I'd like to gorge on those.

Provided I have a little while to eat...

A slice of bacon and cheddar quiche with real pie crust.
Chorizo breakfast burrito.
Pork green chili over fresh made tortillas and crunchy hash browns.
Two slices of Oscar Meyer bologna on the cheapest white bread one can buy, with a small handful of plain lays potato chips.
Peanut butter and half a cosmic crisp apple.
A bag of ruffles potato chips with onion soup mix dip.
A new York strip with garlic mashed potatoes and onion strings.
A small sourdough bread bowl of western clam chowder.
A bowl of ramen with garlic tonkatsu broth and two soy eggs.
Carbonara with some garlic bread.
Cobb salad with blue cheese dressing, no olives.
Apple crumble with vanilla bean ice cream.
An ice cold Dr pepper, an ice cold barqs root beer, a large glass of milk, and a few liters of southern sweet tea.

After seeing all the memes about how many calories are in uranium, that would be fun to try.

[–] valen@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

Self heating

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Just as it comes or would you like a dressing?

[–] lonefighter@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

Hmm, how about shavings of uranium garnishing a massive chocolate lava cake with whipped cream (the real stuff made from whipping cream, not the stuff from a can or the abomination that is cool whip)

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 7 points 2 weeks ago

Diet Pepsi and Mentos. Cabbage and baking soda.

I want my dead body to explode and spread foul smelling shit all over the place.

[–] chrispy@feddit.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'd eat my prosecuting attorney, jokes on him.

[–] z3rOR0ne@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

The living face of Steven Miller. And yeah, I want to eat him while he still lives and I will only stop eating when the blood loss is guaranteed to be fatal. Despite how ugly as fuck he is, the screams will add a nice exquisite flavor.

[–] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Just a ton of bacon, egg, potato, and cheese breakfast burritos with some good salsa, a pile of churros, and 100 cans of Juicy IPA.

Edit: Hell, with the state of things right now, give me a guarantee that I would get that as my final meal and I’ll do a crime that’ll get me there.

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's your ideal serving suggestion for that?

[–] ashenone@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't want to eat it, I just want my execution to be Hella expensive

[–] unknown@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Nah you should eat it, it'd turn you neon orange but you'll smell absolutely incredible.

If you get the chair the scent of your cooking flesh would be boardering on divine, and not to mention being the best smelling corpse the morgue will ever take delivery of. Hell, the section of graveyard you end up in will probably smell like saffron for weeks after thry put you in the ground.

Depending on how much you weight, that much saffron might even preserve you, like some kind of extra bougie mummy.

I want what they are having at the Palais de l’Élysée (the French presidential house).

A huge table of the best of French food made by awesome chefs, from starters to desserts.

[–] darklamer@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

I'd probably just want something simple that'd bring back good memories from childhood, like battered, pan-fried plaice with remoulade sauce and some lemon wedges, that always felt like a luxury meal when I was a child, that'd be soothing, a last chance to remember a time of innocence.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Give me a ricin ball. I'll still die, but it will be on MY terms.

Pan pizza and wheat beer. Maybe I can't escape my fate, but I can make it... quite messy for the executioners.

Root beer float, mozzarella sticks, an Arby's beef n' cheddar, and a medium pizza from my favorite local place with the little grease-cup pepperonis, mushrooms, and 12 tabs of acid.

2kg of the Korean fried chicken with the spiciest chilli sauce on the planet. A case of beer to wash it all down.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

A slice of pizza, a piece of Carnegie Deli cheesecake, and a small saucer of fentanyl.
