Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

McKinney from the Discord server asks, Hi Gary, I’ve asked before and will try again because I love food. Since you’ve traveled plenty and ate many types of food – a hypothetical question – if you were on death row, what would you choose as your last meal? No limit on price!

I guess I’d have to go with fugu. The form of Japanese sashimi that comes from the poisonous puffer fish. If it isn’t prepared correctly, it can be highly poisonous and can kill you.

If I’m on death row, there doesn’t seem to be much risk in the proposition. Regardless, if the dish isn’t prepared correctly, I’ll be dead either way, so why not?

It is probably the only time you could have the dish in such a way that it would be a no-risk proposition.
