Air date: Dec 15, 1990

Louisiana State Penitentiary recently released a list of the last meals ordered by prisoners about to be executed. One man, whose crime was shooting a grocery store attendant, requested Jalapeño peppers, two boxes of Frosties, and a pint of milk. Food Night examines the custom of using food as a final consolation and last rite for those condemned to death.
