cookbook: recipes for final meals requested by inmates on Texas' death row.
 

CROCKETT, Texas (AP) - With recipes for ``gallows gravy'' and ``rice rigor mortis,'' Brian Price's new cookbook brings a touch of dark wit to a subject seldom welcome at the dinner table: death.

But it's the taste of Price's humor, not the flavor of his dishes, that is raising questions about ``Meals to Die For,'' a collection of 42 recipes for final meals requested by inmates on Texas' death row.
Some folks think I'm poking fun at a serious and solemn subject,'' said Price, who prepared 220 such meals in a prison kitchen in Huntsville while serving time himself. ``My intention is not to offend anyone.''

I used to have a link that listed all the final meal requests and last words from death row prisoners in Texas. Some of it was weird. They took it down a month or so ago because people complained. Fucking liberals.
