What do you want to eat again before you die? Strange final request of death row prisoner who confused cooking staff Various requests

American death row prisoners are supposed to be able to request whatever you would like to eat at the last meal before the execution of customs. If you are a Japanese, there may be many people called "rice and miso soup", but in the case of the Americans, from a wonderful menu such as "Burger King's Double Cheese Burger", "Eh?
