Texas has served its final "last meal" to death row inmates awaiting execution after a convicted murderer on Wednesday requested and was served an eight-dish banquet of fried food, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, pizza and ice cream.

Until Thursday, a condemned prison could choose his last meal before facing the executioner, the Associated Press reported.

Prison officials halted the practice Thursday after a state senator complained about the last meal served to Lawrence Russell Brewer, a white supremacist who was executed on Wednesday for chaining a black man, James Byrd Jr., 49, to the back of his pickup and dragging him down a bumpy country road to his death a decade ago.

Brewer requested two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound of barbecue, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza, a pint of ice cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. Prison officials said Brewer didn't eat any of it.

Other condemned men on Texas' death row have had similarly strange requests.

Last week, inmate Steven Woods' request included two pounds of bacon, a large four-meat pizza, four fried chicken breasts, two drinks each of Mountain Dew, Pepsi, root beer and sweet tea, two pints of ice cream, five chicken fried steaks, two hamburgers with bacon, fries and a dozen garlic bread sticks with marinara on the side. Two hours later, he was executed.

In a letter to prison officials, Sen. John Whitmire, who chairs the state Senate's criminal justice committee called Brewers' last meal request an "inappropriate" privilege for a person sentenced to death.

"Mr. Byrd didn't get to choose his last meal," Whitmire told the Associated Press.

Texas' condemned prisoners will now have to eat whatever the prison kitchen is serving that day.
