Prior to his execution at 60 years old, Conner put in his final meal order: 10 pieces of fried catfish, 10 hushpuppies, two triple deluxe hamburgers with bacon, one raw sliced onion and two pints of vanilla ice cream. Wow!

5. Victor Feguer - A Lone Olive

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesVictor Feguer was sentenced to death at the age of 28. He had a very strange request for his last meal... his only request was a single olive with the pit still in it. The idea of eating one lone olive feels haunting and symbolises the end of Feguer's life.

6. Allen Lee Davis - Lobster, Shrimp, Clams, Potatoes and Garlic Bread

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesAllen Lee Davis was executed by electric chair for robbery and murder. He requested lobster tail, fried potatoes, half a pound of fried shrimp, six ounces of fried clams, garlic bread and 32 ounces of root beer. I'm not sure about the fish and garlic bread combo myself, but we'll move on...

7. Ferdinando Sacco - Soup, Tea, Meat and Toast

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesFerdinando Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were both sentenced to death in Massachusetts for two counts of murder. Both convicts ordered soup, tea, meat and toast as their last meal, a strange (and very brown) final order. In 1977, the case was reopened as the governor stated they had been unfairly tried and convicted.

8. Christopher Brooks - Two Reece's Peanut Butter Cups and a Dr Pepper

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesChristopher Brooks clearly had some sort of sweet tooth! Executed in Alabama in 2016, he was convicted of very heinous crimes. For his last meal request, Brooks put in a request of two peanut butter cups and a Dr Pepper. This is a little unlike the other requests and clearly Brooks had no intention of staying full in the afterlife.

9. Timothy McVeigh - Mint Ice Cream

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesAmerican terrorist Timothy McVeigh was on Death Row at the age of 33 an his official charge was 168 counts of murder. For his last meal, McVeigh opted for a simpler sweeter request... two whole pints of mint chocolate ice cream. Not the worst choice on this list, but definitely not one for the lactose intolerants.

10. Kenneth Fults - Steak, Potato, Rice and Apple Juice

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesKenneth Fults spent 18 years on Death Row before his execution in Georgia. He was convicted of murder. In his last meal request, Fults asked for a T-bone steak, baked potato with butter, brown rice and apple juice. A simple and effective final meal, seems like Fults liked his carbs.

11. Stephen Anderson - Grilled Cheese, Cottage Cheese, Peach Pie and Radishes

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesAt age 49, Stephen Anderson was sentenced to death for burglary, assault and murder. While on Death Row, Anderson requested his last meal as two grilled cheese sandwiches, a pint of cottage cheese, a corn mixture, peach pie, cookies and radishes. Strange combination to say the least!

12. Ted Bundy - Traditional Death Row Meal

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesNotorious Ted Bundy was put to death by electric chair for a number of inhumane crimes. Bundy actually declined a final meal, but was given a traditional last meal: steak, eggs, hash browns, toast with butter, jelly, milk and juice. I wonder what the thinking was behind this standard meal...

13. Pablo Vasquez - Steak, Rice, Veg, Beans and Brownies

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesPablo Vasquez was sentenced to death by lethal injection at the age of 38. As his final meal, Vasquez requested Salisbury steak, steamed rice, gravy, vegetables, ranch beans, break, butterscotch brownies with water, tea and punch to wash the final meal down.

14. Daniel Lucas - Pizza, Calzone, Mushroom and Salad

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesDaniel Lucas was 37 when he was put to death by lethal injection. After 16 years on Death Row, Lucas requested his final meal as meat pizza, steak and cheese calzone, stuffed portobello mushroom, salad with ranch dressing and a glass of orange juice.

15. Earl Forrest - Steak, Pasta, Salad, Fruit and Cake

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesEarl Forrest was executed in Missouri in 2016. His final meal request comprised of steak, pasta, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, fruit, chocolate cake and milk. Not the most normal meal that you see among these requests... that pasta must be dry as hell!

16. Gregory Lawler - Steak, Baked Potato, Dinner Rolls, Soup and Ice Cream

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesOrdering a ribeye steak, baked potato with sour cream, dinner rolls with butter, French onion soup, strawberries, pistachio ice cream, milk and apple juice, Gregory Lawler's final request meal was one for the history books. He was executed in 2016 after 16 years on Death Row.

17. Steven Frederick Spears - Just Pizza

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesSteven Frederick Spears decided to keep it plain and simple with his final meal request. Sentenced to death by lethal injection after 15 years on Death Row, Spears put in his final meal request as just one large meat pizza. It seems not all Death Row inmates' stomachs were bigger than their eyes.

18. Gustavo Garcia - Chicken Patties and Mac'n'Cheese

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesIn Texas in 2016, Gustavo Garcia was sentenced to death by lethal injection after 24 years on Death Row. Keeping it somewhat plain for his final meal, Garcia ordered chicken patties and mac n cheese with bread and vegetables. I can think of better final meals to be frank!

19. Angel Nieves Diaz - Air...

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesAngel Nieves Diaz was executed in Florida at the age of 55 for several counts of murder, kidnapping and armed robbery. Interestingly, Diaz actually declined his last meal for reasons unknown. Instead, he was served a regular prison meal, which he then also declined!

20. Aileen Carol Wuornos - A Single Cup of Coffee

Image Source/ PNGKitAmerican serial killer and prostitute Aileen Carol Wuornos shot and killed several men from 1989 to 1990. Despite her claims that she was assaulted by the men, she was still sentenced to death. In 2002, she was executed by lethal injection, her last meal being just a cup of coffee.

21. Teresa Lewis - Chicken, Peas, Apple Pie and a Dr Pepper

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesTeresa Lewis was on Death Row due to her crimes of murder, conspiracy and robbery. A lot simpler compared to the other Death Row inmates, Lewis actually requested fried chicken, peas with butter, apple pie and a Dr Pepper to wash it all down with. Seems like a Sunday kind of dinner.

22. Ronnie Threadgill - Chicken, Mash, Veg, Bread and Tea

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesSentenced to death for murder, Ronnie Threadgill was executed in Texas at age 40. His last meal request was baked chicken, mash with gravy, vegetables, sweet peas, bread, tea and punch. However, Texas actually abolished the last meal choice before Threadgill was executed and he received a basic prison dinner!

23. Brandon Jones - Standard Meal including chicken, rice, turnips and cornbread

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesBrandon Jones was 72 when he was put to death by lethal injection after 36 years on Death Row. He refused his choice of last meal and was given a standard meal of chicken, rice, rutabagas, turnip greens, dry beans, cornbread, bread pudding and fruit punch. Not what I would choose!

24. Coy Westbrook - Chicken, Mash, Gravy, Bread and Cake

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesCoy Westbrook was sentenced to death by lethal injection after 17 years on Death Row. He requested baked chicken, mashed potatoes, country gravy, green beans, black-eyed peas, bread, orange cake and to wash it down water, tea and punch. A feast for the afterlife!

25. William Sallie - Pizza, Chicken Wings and a Soda

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesWilliam Sallie was sentenced to death in 1991 for going on a rampage against his ex-wife's family and killing her father. Sallie was 50 years old when he was executed and requested pizza with sausage and pepperoni, chicken wings with buffalo sauce and a soda. Seems like a Friday night take-out order.

26. Oscar Ray Bolin Jr - Steak, Salad, Potato, Meringue Pie and Garlic Bread

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesOscar Ray Bolin Jr was a serial killer that was executed in 2016 in Florida. Bolin requested the following for his final meal while on Death Row: Rib Eye steak, baked potato with butter and sour cream, salad with iceberg lettuce, cucumber, tomato, garlic bread, meringue pie and a bottle of Coke. Now that's a feast.

27. Adam Ward - Soft Tacos, Salsa, Rice and Mixed Greens

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesAfter five years on Death Row, Adam Ward was sentenced to death in Texas at the age of 33. His final meal included beef soft tacos, salsa, rice, mixed greens, corn and beans with tea, water and punch to drink. Sounds like Ward was a fan of Mexican cuisine!

28. Richard Masterson - Chicken, Mash, Veg, Gravy and Bread

Image Source/ Henry HargreavesRichard Masterson was executed in Texas in 2016 after 13 years on Death Row. He had murdered drag performer Darin Honeycutt. Masterson was 43 when he put in his final meal request consisting of baked chicken, mashed potatoes with gravy, carrots, peas and sliced bread.

29. Robert Harris - KFC, Pizza, Pepsi, Jelly Beans, Ice Cream and Cigs

Image Source/ MediumRobert Harris was put to death by gas chamber for two counts of murder. As his last meal request, Harris asked for: A 21-piece bucket of KFC, two large pizzas, ice cream, jelly beans, six-pack of Pepsi and a pack of Camel Cigs. I wonder if he managed to finish all that?

30. Thomas J Grasso - Literally Everything Apart From SpaghettiOs

Image Source/ TwitterThomas J Grasso was executed by lethal injection in 1995. He killed two pensioners in the early 90s for money. His last meal request was mussels, clams, spare ribs, a cheeseburger, two strawberry milkshakes, a pumpkin pie, strawberries and a can of SpaghettiOs with meatballs. However, the prison cook only gave him normal spaghetti. Grasso said: "I did not get my SpaghettiOs, I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this."
