If someone knows that an upcoming meal is to be their last, the specific food choices would appear to be the least of their problems.
Execution, the final days of a dreadful illness, or a psychic understanding of catastrophe in the making would likely be involved.
And yet, countless people on the internet thoroughly enjoyed discussing what they'd like to eat for their last meal in a recent Reddit thread.
Some were dedications to home-cooking and fond memories. Some showed commitment to out and out decadence. And others were sneaky ways to cheat death.
