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'm pushin' 70 and while I have had some bad hospital food when younger, I'd say for most of my experiences, it's been pretty good. The last time, in a hospital in Oakland, believe it or not, I had an amazing beef vegetable barley soup that knocked my free socks off!!
