The death penalty may have been abolished in our country (1993) and in another 142 (out of a total of 195 independents), but it continues to be in force in countries such as the United States, China, and many countries in the Muslim world. The last meal of a convicted prisoner at the “end of the sentence” is an ordinary ritual that precedes the execution. In many countries, the prisoner can, within reason, choose what his last meal will be.
