Toronto-based Last Meals has a [unique angle](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liquid-death-misfortune-cookies) in the overcrowded market of [food delivery services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fresh-meal-plan). It lets you select an actual last meal menu chosen by an executed convict.

Pricing is straightforward since the government limits for a last meal are $20. You must order a couple of days ahead and don't get to choose exactly what you want to eat, so Last Meals is not a massively helpful food delivery service but a creative one nevertheless--and just [perfect for Halloween](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-monster-menu).

Your meal comes with a DVD to watch and a paper mask of the convict who selected it. Doesn't that just whet your appetite?
