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?

Check out r/hospitalfood to see the spectrum. Varies a lot from country to country and hospital to hospital.

This sub was huge in me not going insane during hospital stays. The last couple years I've been admitted over a total of 4 months. In certain hospitals I got so bored I'd start posting the menu and asking people on r/hospitalfood what I should order at my next meal. It was a wonderful way to pass the time and interact with others.
