The more specific your answer the better especially experiences associated with fond memories.  For instance, my co-worker responded without pausing, my mom's homemade chicken noodle soup with handmade pasta.  It was something his mom made when he was little and something he can't have anymore because his mom can't make it due to the amount of labor it requires. 

For me, it will be the extra dry stir fry seafood noodles with chinese broccoli at Trieu Chau reastaurant in Santa Ana.  It is a restaurant I've been going to since I was six and the reason I chose it is because it was my dad's favorite dish.  It is something I cherish because it was a time when my parents were still together and sharing a good meal together (even though it was at a restaurant) was the best part of being a family.  Whenever I have this dish again it will always bring back warm memories of my parents.  So my last meal on Earth would be at this ghetto, dirty Chinese/Viet/Cambodian restaurant in a part of Santa Ana where I don't want to be when the sun goes out.  Care to share yours?

So a little about this dish, it is only served when the stir fry chef arrives after 9 ish.  It is a stir fried egg noodle with fish cake, shrimp, squid, canned mushrooms, carrots, and chinese broccoli.  Make sure you request extra dry or the gravy ruins the chewiness of the noodle.  It is wok fried at a high temperature where you will taste the "fire" of the wok when you bite into the noodles.  Very simple yet very tasty.  Do not get this to-go, only eat it when it is still steaming hot from the wok.  Order a Viet iced coffee w/ condensed milk to wash it down with.  Enjoy.
 
i would go with a very large meal that would include the following:

- King Taco all meat (carne asada) burrito
- Tommy's chili burger and chili fries
- My mom's home made fried potatoes with scrambled chorizo/eggs

 
So can you have two answers? One that is home cooked and the other as a meal that you would order at a restaurant?

The first is harder because there are multiples and the second one is also difficult because my "favorite" changes over time. Top contenders:

1. Garlic chicken filet at Versailles in Venice with extra onions
2. Chicken Francese at Magianno's (next to South Coast) with the green beans with onions+bacon instead of the crispy red potatoes (and their peach ice tea)
3. Spaghetti and meat sauce at Vince's Spaghetti in Torrance
4. Macadamia crusted halibut at King's Fish House
 
Call me simple..

There's a fast-food joint in Berkeley called Naan N Curry, my last meal would be their Paneer Tikki Masala, Garlic Naan and Cha Tea.
 
If it really was my last meal, I would need a mega tasting menu. But if you force me to pick just one dish, then it would be this:

Beef Bone Marrow with Oxtail Marmalade @ Blue Ribbon in NYC.

The dish was very rich but so tasty!  :)

I recently read an article that the state of Texas is no longer allowing last meals for death row inmates on execution day. A recent offender ordered up a bunch of stuff only to eat none of it.... his way of giving the finger to the system, I guess. Here is an actual description:

"In September 2011 the state of Texas abolished all special last meal requests after Lawrence Russell Brewer requested a huge meal then did not eat any of it, saying he was not hungry. His last meal request consisted of two chicken-fried steaks with gravy and sliced onions; a triple-patty bacon cheeseburger; a cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and jalape?os; a bowl of fried okra with ketchup; one pound of barbecued meat with half a loaf of white bread; three fajitas; a meat-lover?s pizza; one pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream; a slab of peanut-butter fudge with crushed peanuts; and three root beer. The abolition followed a complaint by Texan Senator John Whitmire, who called the meal "inappropriate". The death house tradition of customized last meals is thought to date back 87 years in Texas."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_meal

If it was truly my last meal, I wouldn't eat anything. I'd say just kill me already and get it over with. When I'm nervous, I can't eat. If it wasn't my final moment then some smoked albacore, N.E. clam chowder, and cracker balls from the Crab Cooker in Newport Beach. They have the best smoked fish you can have in your life. If I couldn't have that then something from Rubio's... any tape of Baja like shrimp burrito or fish tacos. I would wash it down with a margarita... nothing top shelf. I'm a simple girl. Regular Cuervo would do fine, thank you. Not too sweet. Stiff. Salted rim. On the rocks. For dessert, I would go with the fried ice cream at El Torito that is doused with Patr?n XO Cafe made with - what else - Tequila! Because I don't know what it is exactly but I crave tequila like a fish craves water. :-X  :-\ I'd also throw in a couple things called butterscotch squares from See's candy. It would be a lot of fun to have a meal where calories don't count.
 
hmmm...

A bottle of chilled fine wine infused with hemlock, and an invitation to my worst enemies for a "last drink" together, with Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb playing in the background.

Replacing the Trieu Chau noodles with the chicken wings at Honda-Ya since it's cockroach free (or at least not on the table).

A pitcher of Kirin to wash it down with.
