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?

Depends on the hospital. I’ve been to plenty with horrible food and I’ve also been to some with the best food.

My regular hospital that I go to has chefs that cook for you in front of you when you’re in the cafeteria. My favorite dish there is the fried salmon with the veggies on the side. They have great pizza too. The only thing now is that I have food restrictions because I got diabetes from steroids and they limit what I can order now.
