A TEAM of chefs at NHS Lothian have won a top food award – as patients were being dished up meals one relative said they “wouldn’t feed to a dog”.
The health board team was crowned winner of the first NHS Good Food Challenge, in which cooks were challenged to come up with Scottish-themed meals. The gourmet menu included smoked mackerel pate with chilli and coriander oatcakes and Ayrshire pork stuffed with black pudding and haggis, potatoes and steamed vegetables.
Each course was said to have been prepared on the same £1.50 budget as a meal at one of the Capital’s hospitals. However, as judges marvelled in the “restaurant quality” food, a hospital menu was branded “terrible”.
