2. Spinach quiche, peas & carrots, fresh fruit, Apple juice

3. Roast Lamb & gravy, broccoli, wholemeal bread & butter, fresh fruit, Glass of milk.

YUM? these were meals I had in hospital & as I was writing on the back of the accompanying menu/ID sheet, I still have proof of what was offered to post-operative surgical patients lasat week. When I could walk I wandered out to the cafe & bought a chicken sandwich on grainy bread - it was the best thing I could find, then I was released & could eat real food again.

Vegetable chow mein (= 1 tablespoon noodles, 1 soup spoon vegs), carrots (1 tblsp), potato & leek soup (maybe 2 tablsps), cheese & bics (2 crackers & small square of cheese in a plastic 1-serve packet), Glass of milk (small)

Spinach quiche (about 2" square), peas & carrots (1 tblsp each), fresh fruit, Apple juice (small)

Roast Lamb & gravy (1 slice about palm size), broccoli (2 TINY branches), wholemeal bread & butter, fresh fruit, Glass of milk.

The only protein option at brekkie was peanut butter - cereals & bread + fruit & milk & juices were all we were offered.

No wonder I needed lots of vegetables & grainy bread when I was released. I can still remember a meal in the early 80's when my friend cooked for 3 adults & 2 kids half a steamer of vegs - I normally over-filled the steamer for my meal, & still do.
