hospital food is a topic all over the world, obviously. Tho giving diabetic the wrong food can cause health problems, rather than just aggravation.

One of the things I remember about my appendix operation in 1964 was mixed up food - if I ordered cornflakes & scrambled egg, I'd get rice bubbles & a boiled egg!

Then last year when i headed to hospital for my cancer op I was warned by my nutritionist to take extra food as the budget for public patients did not allow proper nutrition. So I took along oatcakes & nuts & seeds & dried fruit, & as soon as I could get up headed for the cafe & bought a yummy chicken sandwich & yoghurt. When I was released 2 different friends fed me lots of lovey vegetables & other good food!
