There's a recent thread here on hospital food:

I trust that they can sort out what is causing your OHs pain asap. When you can Please let us know he is and how you are too , I think having someone ill or in hospital is very hard on the close family.

Oh yes I remember hospital food so well, it's a nightmare for us isn't it😡
Brekkie is Porridge, cereals and bread (wholemeal if you're lucky)
Dinner is very high carb with a tiny amount of over cooked veg , or a wilting salad with a bread roll and as for pud 😱
Tea is soup and or a sarnie around 6pm.

Have always been lucky in having a loving family who brought food in on my numerous hospital stays. Even on Christmas Day. Considering one consultant told me that food was a big part of recovery. If it is so important sort it out.

You would be hard pressed to achieve your 5 a day in hospital. Healthy eating does not appear to be on the agenda, in my experience🙄

Hospitals giving out this type of food while the media blame diabetics for their condition. That is a good one!!!!
