During my recent surgery, the thing that bothered me most was the chilly temperature.
In its September Edition, The Observer Food Monthly states ‘Hospital food – it’s enough to make you sick‘.
Let me quote the opening lines of their piece: "Thick, salty soup with the texture of wallpaper paste; a pie crust, hiding a serving of mechanically recovered ‘meat’ and dry mash. Is this the best patients can hope for?".
Truth be told, their observations address the situation in the UK and I guess in Scotland since a similar article ‘Confused, sick, starving … old‘ was published this month in The Sunday Herald.
Were you treated to a good, bad or worse meal while in the hospital?
My personal worse experience with food was during my (short) time in the army (as a conscript). They insisted in turning hairdressers into cooks and cooks into hairdressers. You can imagine the results.
