A new survey by Choice Mutual has revealed what Americans would most want for their last meal. The results show a mix of indulgence, comfort food, and sentimental favorites, with some clear winners across the country, according to MentalFloss.
At the very top of the list is steak, chosen more often than any other dish. Potatoes followed in second place, while pasta and noodle dishes came in third, and pizza fourth. Vegetables ranked fifth, with bread in sixth, lobster in seventh, fries in eighth, mac and cheese ninth, and burgers rounding out the top 10. Fried chicken placed 11th, ice cream 12th, salad 13th, sushi 14th, and cake 16th. Seafood lovers also voted in crab (18th), shrimp (19th), and salmon (25th).
Drinks were more straightforward. Soda was the favorite in every state, with wine coming second and water third. Tea, beer, juice, coffee, cocktails, hard liquor, and milk completed the top 10. When broken down by brand, Coca-Cola led the way, followed by Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, Pepsi, and Sprite.
State-level data showed steak on top in 25 states, including Texas, California, and Florida, and tied in two others. Pasta took the number one spot in eight states and tied for first in two more, while potatoes claimed first place in four. For beverages, soda dominated across the board, with wine second in 17 states and tying in eight others.
