* The short story ''Saved'' by [[Literature/TheGoodSoldierSvejk Jaroslav Hašek]] is a darkly comical subversion of this trope: Patyal, a man on death row, on the night before his execution receives a [[FoodPorn gorgeously described]] dinner consisting of lamb steak, liver sausages, rabbit stew, numerous types of Austrian, German and French cheese, Mediterranean sardines, finished by Viennese cakes and exotic fruits for the dessert, all accompanied by the finest wine, beer and coffee available. Just after having finished this Gargantuan meal, Patyal collapses with a terrible abdominal pain and vomiting, the signs of an acute food poisoning. Because Austro-Hungarian laws at the time forbade to execute seriously ill people, prison doctors spend several days of grueling labor curing his poisoning and nursing him back to good health. Shortly afterwards, Patyal gets hanged without any dinner on the evening before the execution, the butcher that produced the rotten sausages that were the cause of the poisoning is sent to jail himself, and the prison's newbie surgeon who was in charge of Patyal's treatment is given state honours for his dedication and work ethic he showed by saving the life of the man who had been sentenced to death.

* ''WesternAnimation/NinetyFiveSenses'': The cartoon eventually reveals that Coy is a prisoner on death row and is looking at his, one that runs the gamut from lobster to a "[=McDonald=]'s-style" filet-o-fish. He ruefully notes that he committed the cardinal last meal error: ordering a feast days in advance, then finding on the day of that he didn't have an appetite.

It is a place where those corrupted by too much light aether are sent as they slowly transform into [[AngelicAbomination sin eaters]]. The innkeepers look after their patients and tend to their needs, trying to make their last days as comfortable as possible. When a patient is nearing the full transformation, they will be given their TrademarkFavoriteFood laced with poison to MercyKill them before they can suffer a FateWorseThanDeath.
