A convicted prisoner's last meal is a customary ritual preceding to execution. Sometimes prisoners share their final meals with a friend or even distribute the food among all of the inmates.

For an example, in historical France, a "little glass of rum" was granted just a few minutes before execution. The tradition of last meal originates from Texas around 1924. Alcohol or products of tobacco are usually denied.
