The Best Last Meal a Man Could Ask For!

Jimmie “Ringer” Edwards was an Australian roughneck who enlisted during World War II. He was deployed to the Pacific and was promptly taken prisoner by the Japanese. During his captivity he was tortured, starved, and even crucified, with metal spikes driven through his hands and feet.

When he was sentenced to die, his last meal request was chicken and beer. The Japanese were unable to find either on the small island Edwards was taken prisoner on, so they did the only thing left for them to do.

They released him.

It pays to know what’s available on the menu and what isn’t.
