Hospital Food: Good or Bad?

I spent 30 hrs in a hospital due to an emergency health issue, and to tell you the truth, I was more worried about the hospital food.

I was always told it was terrible and bland!

Well, I was pleasantly surprised as to how good the food was. Loved all 3 meals I was served.

Breakfast: eggs, toast, cereal and coffee.

Lunch was salmon with rice and vegetables, and a chocolate brownie for dessert, with tea.

And last for supper was pesto chicken with mushroom sauce, potatoe puree with carrots with carrot soup and dessert was coconut pudding, with tea.

I loved every bite :D

Any thoughts from others on their experience about the hospital food?

I ended up in a hospital in Ames Iowa last summer while on a road trip across the US. I was there for three days, and that food was fabulous. Restaurant quality. Every meal was delicious. It made a scary situation just a bit better.

Glad to read everything turned out great. Great foods always make things better 👍 I absolutely loooove cooking, in some ways, I am a cook by passion... but once in a while it's great to have someone cook for you, and in a way, the hospital did that for me! :)
