(Update)
The gang at Dead Man Eating recently posted Dead Man Eating: A Reenactment, to YouTube. Check it out here.

Dead Man Eating has been "Chronicling the Culinary Cravings of the Condemned" since April 2002. If it sounds a kind of morbid, that's because it is. If it sounds too weird to be true - it's not. DME regularly lists the contents of condemned men's (most are men) last meals, summaries of their crimes, last words and assorted and sundry other facts.

Thus we find that in Texas, for example, Robert James Neville Jr. had as his last meal, the following, "Chicken Fried Steak, mashed potatoes with gravy, fried okra, bread with butter, mixed fresh veggies, donuts, chocolate cake with icing and sweet tea." A few weeks earlier, also in Texas, Marion Butler Dudley requested no last meal and had to be carried to the execution chamber.

If that's not enough entertainment for you, be sure to check out the ideal last meals sent in by readers, some of them rather on the gluttonous side. Or head to Dead Man Eating's main site and browse the fine merchandise, which includes thongs, mouse pads and more.
