As we head towards Halloween, we are able to contemplate all things creepy. It might be considered creepy to consider last meals. Yesterday's story of Julie Green's journey was creepy. I think finding out about the last meals of famous people who have died suddenly is interesting. It seemed to me it told me something about them.
Someone over at the Dailymeal has listed the last meals eaten by 23 famous people throughout history. It is HERE. This is the dailymeal.com website where they cover such things as the flavours in Dr. Pepper - “a unique blend of 23 flavors.Superfans speculate that amaretto, almond, blackberry, black licorice, caramel, carrot and clove are among the flavors." There's another 16 to go...
Here's a selection of last meals:
On April 14, 1865, before heading out to watch the play “Our American Cousin” at Ford's Theater, President Lincoln dined on mock turtle soup, roast Virginia fowl with chestnut stuffing, baked yams, and cauliflower with cheese sauce.
On the evening of January 30, 1948, Gandhi enjoyed one of his standard healthy dinners — goat's milk, cooked vegetables, oranges, and a concoction of ginger, sour lemons, and strained butter mixed with aloe juice.
On September 30, 1955, a few hours before he fatally crashed his Porsche Spider near Cholame, California, the actor and heartthrob allegedly stopped by a roadside diner and ate a slice of apple pie with a glass of milk.
On August 16, 1977, Elvis, the King downed four scoops of ice cream and six chocolate chip cookies at his Graceland mansion in Memphis.
On August 31st, 1997, before her tragic accident, Diana enjoyed a meal of Dover sole, vegetable tempura, and a mushroom and asparagus omelette at the restaurant L’Espadon inside the Ritz Paris.
On August 13, 2004, Julia Child — appropriately — ate a bowl of French onion soup before her death at age 92.
