I was in hospital for a couple of weeks in march with sepsis. First couple of days out the ICU I was barely eating and everything tasted awful and was dry as hell (a kind of dry hamburger patty and a soup I thought would be minestrone but turned out to be minestrAne I.e weak lovely broth with over cooked pasta bits were my first meal) However once I started properly recovering and my insides started to wake up again I was absolutely ravenous and would time my day by when I would next be able to eat. Turns out that hunger really is the best sauce. Even when I got back home to good food I was daydreaming about eating the hospital food!

Last time I was in hospital the nurses made fun of me because I thought the dinner was super tasty. Being pumped with anti-nausea meds and finally getting to eat a food for the first time in a month makes even sad, overboiled vegetables appetising.

We closed the restaurant a few months back for a couple of days because a woman found a two-inch cockroach in her soup, right at the bottom. My favourite part is that a) she asked to have the soup replaced, with another soup and b) still ate her entree.

RE: hospital food chat, I was in for 10 days just last week for heart surgery, and yeah I can totally agree with the previous poster that when first out of ICU after not having any food for almost 24 hours, you could've served me cardboard marinated in water and I would've eaten it. As the days progressed, I tried various entrees that were available to me (all of which were low sodium), and they were marginal. Hunger was still the major drive keeping me at least eating something. Everything was under seasoned, meats were dry, breads tasted more like cake (sweetish, pastry-like?), and generally not super appetizing. Salads, un-dressed, were kind of the worst thing. My blushing bride thankfully smuggled in two 1 teaspoon packets of salt, and a small container of oil/vinaigrette salad dressing which I horded like gold. It's utterly amazing to me the effect of 1/16 of a teaspoon of salt had on this food. It turned it from breadline food to Michelin 5 star dining. The funny thing in all this is that I'm chronically hyponatremic. To the point that, until my sodium levels were high enough, the docs were actually delaying surgery.

I was starting to come down with some flu or whatnot, mom's rear end in a top hat boyfriend thought I was being a picky eater because I felt kinda sick and didn't want to eat. I puked on the plate, and he made me eat it. It was spaghetti sauce with chunks of tomato in the sauce, rather than blended. To this day, the texture of tomatoes triggers my gag reflex. After actively trying for years, I've managed to deal with enough of it that I can handle shreds of tomato in a blended tomato soup, but anything bigger and I'm gone.

i didn't eat from Feb. 9th to Feb. 23rd , 2014 (my second colonectomy- if they put NBM on your chart, you can't even have ice or water, just these gross lip brushes with this nasty green paste on them). when i finally took a poo poo after my surgery, which indicated that they hooked everything back up okay, they brought me this: i wolfed it down like a starving animal. still have no idea what it was

There was a story on Radiolab about a man who couldn't eat for months because of his guts explofing. He was fed untravenously. He didn't get better and had to either starve or start eating and hope his guts would heal instead of blowing up again. When he had the first bite of food he couldn't taste a thing. His taste buds had atrophied and his tongue had gone completely smooth and shiny. http://www.radiolab.org/story/197243-gutless/

I'm sorry axolotl, I laughed so hard at this sentence that I cried. The British spy posing as a French cop in "'Allo, 'allo" when he "attempts" to speak French immediately came to mind.

sweeperbravo posted:In AFP/non-AFP news, the school I did an internship at had the most balling cafeteria, the lady who ran it was an actual, true nauna and everything was homemade and full of love and seasoned perfectly and tasted good even if it had been sitting under the lamp a while. You could get a full size, real, nutritious, tasty lunch for less than $5. But now I'm not workign there anymore and have to go back to the standard school caf food experience When I was in high school, the guy running the cafeteria was actually the owner and head chef of a successful local catering business; he ran the school cafeteria as a volunteer. The food wasn't home-made, and with a few thousand students to feed it wasn't exactly high cuisine, but it was always good. He also liked to experiment, and at least once a month would serve up something "weird" and see how many people would bite. Once it was mollusc pizza; another time curried chicken breakfast crepes. (Both super loving tasty.) And every year he'd cook a haggis for Robbie Burns Day. The best part of the haggis was that so few people would eat it that there would always be leftovers in the kitchen fridge the next day, and if you asked he'd gladly warm up a heaping plate of that instead of whatever the meal of the day was meant to be. Haggis, despite how delicious it is, definitely belongs in this thread. Sadly I didn't take pictures.

The only story I have about school cafeterias is that fries were always the order of choice, because teens. There was never enough ketchup for some reason so it's where I learned to l love ballpark mustard on my fries, because they'd be cold by the time the ketchup line was finished. Oh also in like, junior kindergarten through grade 2 I went to a school that had pretty good food, but the Chicken Ala King was the dreaded meal. Something about it was just so unctuous I could never eat it. My mom still refers to it as "Chicken Ala Barf" as that is apparently what I called it.

I cook professionally and as part of that make family meal for my co-workers everyday; between picky eaters and allergies the only food I can make that everyone will eat is rice with chicken or salmon. Every loving day. Anytime I make something else people just say "what is that? I don't eat that." Legitimately not liking something doesn't bother me in the slightest but don't say you don't like something if you've never even heard of it before. And then expect me to give you something from the menu. Or complain that we have rice and chicken every day when that's all you fuckers will eat. Being a picky eater is a complete nonstarter for any kind of relationship with me.

I'd suggest confronting your coworkers about this, cause they sound like a bunch of ungrateful assholes(the picky ones, not the people with allergies)
