Fortunately a wonderful friend brought me real food every day, so I didn't actually eat this!

    I like the crappy turkey sometimes… Probably not in a hospital though… I would eat the mashed potatoes and gravy for sure. Glad your friend was able to get you something.

    Hypertension. I’ll keep the rest of the diagnosis why you’re there confidential.

    Come to Hungary and have a meal in one of our hospitals. Then you won’t think it was wrong in the picture.

    I’d eat that. . . I mean in comparison to my cooking. At least you know it’s safe to eat.

    r/hospitalfood would appreciate your post for good or ill, with your rating out of 10, and the country.

    You’ll see how much worse the food can be (Germany and Hungary have the worst I’ve seen) *and* how much better (Portugal, Singapore, Japan).

    Damn this unlocked a memory. I swear I had this exact same meal in the mental hospital.

    Damn. Our local hospital actually has decent food. Don’t ask why I’ve been there so much to know. 😅😅

    My father was a terrible person but he worked at dominos and whenever we were stuck in a hospital for a family member, he would order the entire group (really large family at the time) pizza at a discounted price.

    Hospital food in the US is always terrible.

    Reminds me of the school Thanksgiving dinner. Despite appearances, it tasted really good.

  10. Was this a Foundation Trust Hospital? If so they have a council of governors to represent patients at board level. The role was greatly marginalised under the Tories but I would check and email them this picture.

    Mashed potatoes, gravy, mixed canned veggies. I mean, compared to the graham crackers and condiment-less sandwich you could have received, this looks decent. Was it hot?

    My uncle once told me he was regretful and remorseful every time he had to eat chicken. He disliked chicken intensely.

    I would say this meal would make me feel like that.

    Veggies look awful but I love me some hospital taters

  14. BAMitsAlex

    You def ate some mashed potatoes, unless it was served with a bite taken out of it…

  15. beatenprim-rose-opal

    I grew up in Hemet CA and going to the hospital to eat was the business! Once FURRS was done we all went to the hospital and pigged out lol

    My condolences, this literally looks worse than every single meal I’d ever been served while in max sec jail

  17. nukalurk

    Looks like it could use some salt and pepper, but I would smash that including the hot-dog turkey discs.

    Most people don’t eat as well as this.

    I ate meatloaf 2 meals a day for 7 of the 9 days I was in the hospital, because that was the only meal that met all of my stupid ass Dr imposed dietary restrictions.

    Looks better than the shit they are feeding the school children these days.

    i mean depending on what your their for hospital food is specifically made to be healthy and not react negatively with you body while the doctors find what’s wrong with you

  22. Windle_Poons456

    Looks bland and low quality, but I’d still eat it. At least there’s gravy.

  23. Celesteven

    “Sweetie, are you alright? You hardly touched your meat discs.”

  24. soggycardboardstraws

    Sure it’s not the best but I demolish that shit every time it’s set in front of me. Maybe like 2 times in hospital and about 10 times or so in jail. Honestly you demolish everything in jail but whatever lol

  25. Asleep_Fix3900

    Well you’re in the right place in case of an emergency 🤣 hospitals & planes continue to impress ✌️

    That looks like it came straight from the $2 freezer section.. gross. I specifically chose (only had like 2, maybe 3 options anyway) the hospital/OB where I had my last 2 babies because their food is fucking DELICIOUS and they have SO much variety and the best desserts! Literally the BEST chocolate cake I’ve ever had in my 35 years of life, came from that hospital. I’d eat 2 pieces every night AND my nurses got me extra to take home! Lmao.

    Not bad for hospital food. I had weak broth thickened with xanthan gum or some other starch. So this is much better!

    This is what happens when 90% of taxes goes to the military.

    This is just the HungryMan Turkey dinner but without the stuffing…
