Dinner in the hospital (which in my head is sung to Roses in the Hospital by the Manic Street Preachers.)
First evening, salmon in a dill & mustard sauce, mashipots, green beans and cauliflower. Do I like the cauli? No I do not. But I'd already asked about fresh fruit for dessert and told they didn't offer that. So I thought I'd best get my fibre where I could. Also the sauce covered the taste. Apple and apricot pie with custard. And no, that wasn't what I left, I was attacking it with such gusto that I almost forgot to take a photo for you!

That looks pretty good, and I love the dishes. I'd be tempted to swipe one for a souvenir.

(I was tempted too, but the same lady who served also cleared away!)

That looks way better then anything served in most hospitals here in the states. Here it would be all processed food with canned vegetables, usually overcooked and bland. Dessert is usually a small cup of ice cream.

I agree, the hospital food I've had (quite a lot, unfortunately) has been terrible. Watery overcooked veg; mystery meat; powdered eggs and powdered potatoes (retch); and margarine! In a hospital! Why don't they just invite us to light up cigarettes?
 Sorry about the rant. That food looks yummy, Sundae.

When I worked in a hospital, we served Lean Cuisines so that all the calories/fat/salts were easily accounted for. As if there were no dietitians on staff?
Tonight for dinner we had jambalaya. Sooo delicious.
