Exit, Eating - Last Meals of the Famous, the Infamous, and the Forgotten (Paperback)


In "Exit, Eating", former New York Press food columnist Jennifer Waters brings her trademark acerbic wit to this very topic, as she details the last meals of world leaders, rock stars, cult members, literati, martyrs, and many more. What, may you ask, was Ghandi's final nibble? This preacher of nonviolence feasted on goat's milk, cooked vegetables, oranges, and juice of aloe. Elvis Presley's? The King passed on his usual peanut butter and banana sandwich and opted instead for ice cream, cookies, and lots of pills. Dylan Thomas' last mouthful? Why, a personal best of eighteen whiskeys. And 9/11 terrorist Mohammad Atta? Pizza Hut, naturally.
