The 'Last Meal Request' of a person about to die is a world wide tradition. In medieval England it was thought that if a person condemned to death ate a meal before execution (of their choice) they were making peace with their executioner, judge etc and would be less likely to haunt them in the form of a ghost.
These are 'last requests' from Texas Dept of Criminal Justice

Quite a few declined and some ordered 'World Peace' or 'Justice'
When anxious i find eating an impossibility. Assuming I would be anxious about my impending death i doubt i would want anything other than alcohol. What would you write down for your last meal request?
and, does what you order (if anything) say anything about guilt?
