    Hospital food can vary.

    Thanks, Dave.

    You're welcome, Bruce. ;) Hospital food does not have to be bad. I
    worked with a man (this is not a punch line) whose parents went to the hospital cafeteria for dinner once a week because the food was very
    good. It was inexpensive, healthy options (salads, broiled fish, maybe
    some pasta) for about $16. You did not have to be a patient or be
    related to anyone working in the hospital to eat in the cafeteria. I
    found that very odd but apparently anyone can eat in a hospital
    cafeteria if they have cash.

    A long time ago when I was in the hospital for a surgical procedure, I
    had not eaten in 24 hours. The doctor who admitted me said I could have something to eat. No one brought me anything to eat. I was so hungry I
    was crying. A nurse came in and asked why are you crying? Because I'm hungry! She said "Good lord, didn't they bring you some breakfast?"
    No... she checked the chart... why didn't ya'll serve this girl some breakfast? They brought in scrambled eggs with cheese and thick cut
    bacon and fried potatoes and buttered toast. I cleaned that plate!
    When the nurse came back she said to me "You weren't kidding you were
    hungry!" No, I was not kidding.

    I've not seen bacon here but there are a couple of meals I'd come back
    for.I may sneak in a salt pack for a couple, but most are decent without.

    Today's lunch had broccoli florets that did not look exciting but were
    quite tasty and cooked to tender. I usually pass on mac'n'cheese but
    that was good too.
