Hospital food bingo...

[el Nynaeve]

I was reading my copy of The Independent this morning and ran across this little gem of an article:

 

Patient won't take hospital food lying down

 

A hospital patient has become so disgruntled by meal times he has resorted to taking photographs of his food and inviting bloggers to guess what the dish is.

 

The blogger, who identifies himself as “Traction Man”, has been in hospital for 20 weeks undergoing treatment to correct skeletal problems. He says he was “struck down by a bone and flesh-eating bug”. To pass the time the 47-year-old has taken to provided a daily review of his meals – uploading photographs from his mobile phone.

 

“The entrees tend to be uniform beige,” he explains. “Most of the vegetables need to go in a spin dryer before you get to eat them. And the jam roly-poly certainly tastes like it’s been rolled – right across the kitchen floor.”

 

His followers correctly guessed about half of the dishes.

 

Can you fare any better? It’s not easy. The Department of Health declined to identify the most mysterious dish from this most unappetising of parades (it was chilli con carne).

 

 

I liked the quote about the jam roly-poly, funniest thing I've seen all day!! :D

lol, We could have a comp as well, to try and identify those foods, I think there maybe some peas there, but they aren't looking too well!

What, no Tuna Fish Sammich?!?

[Talya]

My tuna fish sandwiches don't look like anything there that I can see.

[Toy and Minion]

That's my point.  What's wrong with hospitals these days?  No Tuna?!

[Talya]

I like Tuna...But that would be too healthy for a hospital!

[Toy and Minion]

You haven't had Hospital Tuna before.

Definately some peas there...I think. Maybe some carrots? also what looks to be a large quantity of greyish-brownish vomit.

I think they just throw a bunch of stuff in a pinata and whack it.  Whatever comes out goes on the plate.

[el Nynaeve]

I have the answers so yeah we could have a comp.

 

But no, no meatloaf in there, Brits don't do meatloaf.

[Talya]

we certainly don't...anyway we can get a bigger version of that pic Ellie and then we could have a comp on what we think they are.

[el Nynaeve]

I'll find a bigger pic and get a comp going then. :D

[Talya]

Excellent ...this should be fun ;D

I better not do this when i'm hungry, my computer won't be too happy me drooling all over it!

[Aran Corval Alandar]

I think you would have to be VERY hungry to drool over hospital food  :D

Starving more like, Thats the only way it eventually gets eating in hospitals...

[el Nynaeve]

Yeah the one time I had a week long stay in a hospital, they said I wasn't allowed to eat anything for the first four days and by that time I think I might have eaten anything. :P

 

They can't even do toast right, I think I could have used mine as a boomerang and maybe knocked out a couple of nurses. :D ::)

 

I'll be getting the comp up today, so keep a lookout for it. ;D

[Talya]

I can't wait, it hink this will be fun *grins*

 

yeah their toast leaves a lot to be desired!

[el Nynaeve]

Game is now up in the Arena. ;D

[a pale tanned lover]

I should be good at this game the amount of times i've been in and out of hospital, bet i'm not though :P

[el Nynaeve]

I assure you all though, British hospital food is a damn sight nicer than American hospital food. I saw what my sister was eating in the US hospital when she had her baby, it looked gross. :P

[Talya]

I don't think we'll ask what he was in hospital for! :-\

[el Nynaeve]

Drunken and disorderly conduct? ;D
