16. Lobster, Steak, Ice Cream and Pie (Robbie Lee Gardner)
Gardner had a long time to think about what his last meal was going to be. He was convicted in 1985 of murder, but it wasn’t until 25 years later when he would finally be executed (by firing squad). Gardner’s last meal request was lobster, steak, ice cream (vanilla) and pie (apple). This request is nothing shocking, but what was surprising was his additional request to watch the Peter Jackson movie trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Some people can’t eat without a TV in front of them; clearly Gardner was one of these people. It’s not known if he got to watch all three movies. I guess it depends how slow of an eater Gardner was.
