It's a standard long car journey question: what would be included in your last meal? That's assuming you'd done something bad enough to get the death penalty in the first place of course.
It's a fascinatingly bittersweet thought: getting the opportunity to request whatever you want for dinner, with few restrictions, but eating it just hours before your death.
Photographer Henry Hargreaves is as fascinated as we are. Okay, maybe a little bit more. He picked out nine of the most intriguing meals and recreated them for his No Seconds project. The results range from the understandably ambitious (John Wayne Gacy's shrimp, fried chicken, fries and strawberries feast) to the chilling (Victor Feguer's single olive).
After checking out the below meals for inspiration, what would you have? Let us know at the bottom.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
