The final meal of Kenneth Smith, the first inmate executed with pure nitrogen, has been revealed as a T-bone steak with hash browns and eggs, barely touched. Smith was executed in Alabama for the 1988 murder of Elizabeth Sennett.
Other death row inmates have made more unusual choices. Charles Rumbaugh, executed in 1985, requested only a single flour tortilla. Velma Barfield, the first woman executed by lethal injection in the US, opted for a can of Coca-Cola and a bag of Cheeze Doodles in 1984.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, convicted of kidnapping and murdering Charles Lindbergh Jr., ordered chicken and chips with cherries, olives, buttered peas, and celery, followed by a piece of cake. Victor Feguer, hanged in 1963, requested a single unpitted olive served on a large ceramic plate.
