How to get a tasty last meal when you're sitting on death row

In Florida, the Department of Corrections states that "To avoid extravagance, the food to prepare the last meal must cost no more than $40 and must be purchased locally." In Virginia, the options are even more limited -- death row inmates are only allowed foods selected from the prison's prearranged meal menu.

But wait, there's more. If those examples seem stringent, they're nothing compared to Texas where, in 2011, last meals were rescinded entirely. The reason: convicted killer Lawrence Russell Brewer requested "two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza, a pint of ice cream and peanut butter fudge," per the BBC, then ate none of it, saying that he wasn't hungry.
