forgot to answer my own question...
okay lets see...
I'd want a big portion of my mom's sauerkraut. and a burrito from chipotle (chicken & black beans & rice & cheese & hot salsa). and a huge piece of my grandma's shoo-fly pie (it's an amish/pennsylvanian dutch pie...it's made of molasses). and a case of miller lite in cans, ice cold. and a hot dog with mustard and extra onions from portillo's in chicago. and an italian beef with extra sweet peppers from johnny's in chicago. and an italian ice.
wow how random.
yum!

I would want some honey bbq ribs from friends in our kitchen in Guelph. I would need a hot dog from Toronto as well. Mashed potato and fries squash and some German Bratwurst and Nurburgerwurst-oh oh and some Domino's Pizza. And to drink I would want a 12 pack of Moosehead and a bottle of rum so that when the execution comes I will be so outta my skull off the wall drunk I would feel no pain.

A wet burrito from Super Burrito in Reno, fish tacos from On The Border, grandma's taco salad smothered in French dressing, Thai red curry, and Thai mango sweet rice. Oh, and German spundekäse mit brezteln. And a keg of Newcastle. Damn, that's a lot of food.
. . . and maybe a bǔn from southern Vietnam

Good 'ol fashioned turkey dinner. Sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, salad, turkey, broccoli, and for dessert creme caramel & cheesecake. Would they make all that for me?

I definitely agree with the chipotle burrito, but no meat, with a thai iced tea. Ummm, birthday cake (as sad as that would be at an execution) and a soft pretzel. Oh my goodness, and our entire Christmas Eve meal (it's seven different types of fish, which I don't really dig, but I love the event! and fried dough and torrone and jordan almonds! Mmm!). Maybe that just means I want my family there...
But I don't know if I want basil chili tofu instead of the burrito...hmm I hate deciding! They'd never be able to execute me, cause I'd keep changing my order.
Ahh... I don't want to die!!

A brazilian barbeque. A good one like from Rodizio's in Denver. They just keep bringing out different kinds of meat and grilled fruits and veggies. One time I was there for 2 hours and had 22 different kinds of meat brought out. And each piece is heaven on a fork.

20+ oz Prime rib, 2 inches thick, rare, with horseradish and yorshire pudding, sweet potato. A keg of a good IPA, like Dogfish Head or Sierra Nevada. For dessert, Tiramisu flown in from Italy along with some Ben & Jerry's Toffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream for good measure. Finish it off with a bottle of Limoncello right out of the freezer.

hmm i love food so i think to make the decision easier I'll say a christmas dinner - we usually have cold sliced turkey and ham w/ cranberry sauce, prawns, crabs, mussels, avocado and mango salad, potato salad, pasta salad, crispy noodle salad... and pavlova with strawberries, kiwifruit, banana and passionfruit on top for dessert. served with a delicious punch made from champagne, lemonade lots of fruit juice and mint leaves floating on top. mmmm i'm looking forward to christmas now!

How could I forget some cheesecake, and a canoli, and a banana split.

oh my gosh i love this question..
For a starter I would have camembert cheese and cracked pepper crackers. For an entree I would have garlic mashed potatoes (smothered in fresh pepper and butter), Steak Medium Rare with Goat Cheese on top Melted slightly and Pecans sprinkled over it. Corn on the Cob (very sweet, must be in season, lightly salted). For my third side dish I would have thanksgiving stuffing. For dessert I would have Pumpkin Pie with Fresh whipped Cream. For drinks I would have a midori illusion, glass of expensive red wine and a case of sleemans (I do want to be drunk!) Oh and one hoegaarden!
now i'm hungry after writing this!

I would want a whole bunch of Chinese food. Usually it plays havoc with my insides, so I very rarely have it. But I figure... I'm gonna die anyway, so I can handle a bit of a gut ache!
For pudding I'd have cheesecake of any variety, some of my mum's banana bread, and chocolate fudge cake.
Yeah, I'm a pudding person. I want to go out on a sugar high!

good topic. so many options too. i can't think of one thing so i'm going to cheat and go seasonal.
if it was summer, a lobster roll and (several) hoegaardens. if it was wintertime, the most amazing steak frite from this bistro by my place and and bottle of red.
