I got my answer I love wikipedia lol:-
The last meal is a customary part of a condemned prisoner's last day. The day before the appointed time of execution, the prisoner will be given the meal, as well as religious rites, if he or she desires. As a general rule, inmates may not ask for an alchoholic drink as it dulls the senses.
In the United States of America most states give the meal a day or two prior to execution, and use the euphemism "special meal". Alcohol or tobacco is usually denied. An unorthodox or unavailable request will be replaced with a substitute. Some states place tight restrictions. For example, Texas limits last meals to food available within the prison system, though occasionally brings in food "from the free world".[1] In Florida, the food for the last meal must be purchased locally and the cost is limited to $40.[2]. In fact, Maryland does not offer the condemned a special last meal.[3]
