One could just as easily blame the for-profit components of the health, institutional food, or education industries involved in the scenario. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that there are other ways of looking at it. "Money" I guess is always the answer. E: oh God what a bad snipe.  creamed corn

tzorilla posted:I spent few weeks in a hospital recently, and the food was interesting to say the least. Man that's depressing. The food I had when I was in the hospital last was bland but edible. That stuff almost looks like what you'd make when you're too lazy to go to the store and that's all that's left in your cupboard. A bunch of dry bread does not a meal make. At least some butter would be nice. I'm surprised it's not served on a piece of junk mail because they're too lazy to wash any plates.

Screaming Idiot posted:I would, and then I would die a sobbing and bloated shell of a human being, filled with cheese and starch and processed meat and black, putrid despair. Should someone have the folly to mark my shallow grave, the monument would read "GLUTTON" and be marked with abstract symbols of shame and dishonor. Every full moon my decaying husk would climb free of the dead soil from which nothing would grow and stand in the moonlight, baying a loathsome wail as a torrent of vermin streamed from my gaping, putrescent maw. If one listened carefully, he may catch words in that formless and terrible cry, and those words might possibly be, "I can't believe I ate the whole loving thing. this is why my pants don't fit."

The soups reminded me of when I first moved out, my boyfriend and I were 17 and both had minimum wage part-time jobs which paid $5.90 an hour. We rented a room in this dumpy house, and we owned exactly one pot and one plastic serving spoon. We could only afford super cheap food, which was usually those big Habitant soups you could usually find for $1 a can. We would heat one can in our pot then take turns eating it with our spoon, usually in our room on the floor because the other people who lived in that house were skeevy as gently caress. That was our dinner every night for a while. Sadly I have no photos, as they were really ugly soups.

I grew up on those habitant pea soups and even to this day there is something about that ash-tray taste that reminds me of home and makes me buy it.

My favorite hospital meal was the dead dry white meat turkey served with dressing that was basically unseasoned damp bread crumbs still in the shape of the scoop they used to serve. Was there even Jello? Nope. EDIT: (I was misdiagnosed with diverticulitis, and was also told to leave off all nuts, corn, and most fruit with hard seeds. Which is also complete crap. 6 years of hell.) Samizdata has a new favorite as of 08:18 on Jun 14, 2016 |

Hospital cook infopost. A lot of the food is bland because it has to be made for everyone, especially low sodium/cardiac patients. If you want flavor, ask for salt. Assuming of course that the meals are made to order, rather than everyone gets the same thing for each meal.

The food at Beth Israel and Mount Sinai hospitals was really good, especially if you could go downstairs to the cafe where they had a grill, sushi bar, frozen yogurt machine, sandwich station, and self serve waffle makers. Oddly enough the pizza was crap, very sweet sauce.

I really should've saved the booklet that the hospital gave me when I had lower jaw surgery. One of the no-chew recipes was "blend up a whole goddamn BLT with milk, ingredient by ingredient" Too bad it was before digital cameras was easy to get. There was a big difference between a "liquid diet" and a "no chew diet" and how I kept getting Popsicles even though I couldn't use my lips/open my jaw.
