WWT: Karla Faye's last meal.
Art Simon
Reported in the Houston Chronicle, condemned prisoner
Kalra Faye Tucker requested for her last meal, a banana,
a salad with French or Ranch dressing, and some peaches.
It was just reported on a local radio station that U.S.
Supreme Court unanimously rejected her attorney's filing.
This reduces her hope of survival to an improbable
reprieve granted by George W. Bush, Governor of Texas.

She should have requested a hamburger from an axed steer.

For my last meal, I would choose Baskin-Robbins. All 31 flavors; I
would start at one end of the store, and lick my way to heaven and back.

Bernie,
Somebody died, boy. She died. Death is not a fun topic for those of
us who also will die. Likely that includes all of us. Hoist yourself
up and look at it sometime.

She must have thought they were just kidding.
I can't believe anyone would just want a couple
of fruits and a salad for their last meal if they
*really* believed it was going to be their last
meal.

Picky, picky, picky.
Why don't we all just agree that *anything* having to do with the death
penalty is probably a bad idea for rec.food.cooking? It's bad enough that
we're afflicted with the other political traffic without this too.

Actually, Bernie's comment is great! Wished I'd though of it. KFT got what
was due her. She did her crime, she got her punishment. It's just a damn shame
it took this long to end this. At least this thread is somewhat food-related;
Sheldon's thread has/had absolutely NO relavance to this group.

It was also reported that she actually ended up having just a few saltines
and a soda.

Actually, for a last meal she should have had the so-called
heart-attack-on-a-plate: fettucine and alfredo sauce. I'm surprised, that for a
state with lethal injection as the means of execution, that they had a last
meal. I would think the drugs used would work better or faster if there was
nothing in the blood stream fighting for nutrients or such. Any thoughts from
the medics out there?

I think I might pick something like that for two reasons. One, it's
simple and light. I can't imagine sitting down to a porterhouse with
butterflies in my stomach. Knowing it would be my last meal, I'm not
even sure I would have any appetite, actually. Two, there are times when
biting into a peach - perfectly ripe, juicy, sweet - is pleasure at its
highest. I can't say what I would definitely choose as a last meal
though. It would depend on too many things, such as the season, what
ingredients are available, etc.

Doesn't matter what the vintage; most prisons will not serve alcohol
even for a last meal. And considering the general level of edibility
for prison food (I believe "slop" is often considered a compliment),
I'd stick with fresh fruit and crackers, too.

Probably little to none, but my ability to concentrate

My understanding is that there is a barbiturate present to cause rapid
loss
of consciousness (crosses blood-brain barrier quickly), and that this is
followed by high levels of ionic potassium to stop the heart.
Competition
in the blood stream from food or nutrients is not an issue. Remember
these
are pretty heavy doses, designed to overwhelm the body.
Food is witheld from surgical patient in hospitals to provide the
surgeons
and anesthesiologists the best conditions for a successful procedure,
without
nasty surprises.

I think I'd be stuporous. What's that line from Emily Dickenson about
very bad news: First the cold, then the stupor, then the letting go.

Well, if I didn't lose my appetite before the prom I
don't think I'd lose it under those circumstances. ;-)
My made problem in life is that I haven't found anything
yet that makes me lose my appetite. Lots of people can't
eat when they're sick, but not me. I pack it away under
any circumstances. And I eat more when I'm upset so I
think being on death row and due to be executed shortly
would make me ravenous.

I agree, but what are the chances that you'd get
an even half-ways decent peach under those circum-
stances. It would probably be hard as a rock and
sour to boot. And as much as I would enjoy a sweet
and juicy, tree-ripened, sun-warmed peach I would
want a heck of a lot more in addition to that.

I had the impression from the article I saw, which said she requested "sliced
peaches" or something along those lines, that she meant peaches from a can.
Maybe I'm just reading too much into the words "sliced peaches," but "in cling
syrup" was my first association.

My kids used to make themselves grilled cheese sandwiches and have
canned sliced peaches for dessert. Of course, in time they started
calling it "Chilled Grease Sandwiches with Spiced Leeches for dessert".

Absolutely, something reliable. Something you can COUNT on to be good 'cos
it doesn't depend on the weather to be right. :) A Big Mac for instance.
You can count on the quality of a Big Mac. You'll get a greasy mediocre
burger, every time. :)

This got me thinking, what are the chances of getting *any* good food?
Do prisons just go through the motions or do they really try to provide
the prisoner with a decent last meal? If the request is for steak, is it
good stuff or full of fat and gristle? Does anyone here know? We don't
have the death penalty here so I must rely on you folks.

A leafy salad provides camouflage...
for olive oil on the side.
I would suspect the peach provided dessert.

Hmm, that thought hadn't crossed my mind!
First you need to work on them there trains more often <G>
Second, I just asked a long time medic that I'm teaching withand we
both came to the following conclusion. The food might slow down the
action of the drug/s but not enough to truly change the length of time
it would take them to work. They use potent enough drugs..honest!
