Famous Death Row Last Meals

Regardless of your beliefs when it comes to the death penalty, one thing we've become accustomed to hearing and talking about is the famous last meal.

On Thursday, 41-year-old Eddie Duval Powell was executed by lethal injection in Alabama for the rape and murder of a 70-year-old woman in 1995, reports Reuters.

His meal of nothing more than some sandwiches, corn chips and soda from the vending machine has The Daily Mail asking if it's the saddest last meal ever?

While it is not unheard of for an inmate not to make a special request, It's a far cry from the elaborate meals of fried chicken, lobster, and desserts we are used to reading about.

Take a look at some of strangest, smallest and largest last meal requests:
