Hospital Food From 11 Different Countries

Here is some hospital food from 11+/- different countries. Hospital food doesn't have a very good reputation, but some of this looks really tasty. Please forgive me if I have mislabled something.

When my wife was in the hospital, after giving birth, they would bring in a big tray, all the items were covered, and there was a card listing everything on the tray. She ate very well, and I lived off crackers and the occasional meal from the cafeteria.

USA. Meat, mashed potatoes, apple sauce, milk, coke, dessert.


Spain. Fish, rice, baguette, dessert.


England. Sandwich, hard boiled eggs, tea, fruit, soup.


Japan. Soup, oranges, bread.


The Netherlands. Chicken, soup (gravy?), mashed potatoes, vegetable.


USA. Chicken, fries, green beans, cookies, a roll, coffee.


Australia. Weet-Bix, banana, rice, roll, fruit.


Hushan, China. Rice, and egg, meatballs, veggies, soup.


Japan. Veggies, soup, rice, tea.

The wrapped eggs are: chicken roll stuffed with eggs and some vegetables, sauce is kind of marinara but not that sweet and the small yellow stuff is baked potatoes

I'm an Australian and I can guarantee you don't get food that good. You get crappy jelly, and some other crap that's crap. If you want good food you get your family or friends to bring it in.

The ones with cake are probably new moms. They gave my sister a giant piece of cheesecake after she had her daughter.

The "I don't know where in Asia" one, the writing on the label thingy on the left is definitely in Japanese.

The German "taters" look like herring chunks.

My uncle was in the cardiological hospital in Bordeaux, and they fed him very well. Soup lady comes around first, then they fed him bread and cheese and roast beef! ha

No 20. USA? Soup, crackers, veggies, meat, potatoes.

I would probably say that is from the England. The blankets, water jug and chair (just visible in the top right) all look like NHS standard issue.

I wish I had taken a picture of my last hospital meal, at Baptist Hospital in Jacksonville following my neck surgery: two huge pieces of delicious fried chicken, french fries, garlicky texas toast, mashed potatoes with peppery gravy, a salad of baby greens, and a slab of chocolate cake. Absolutely no complaints at all, in fact it was better than many restaurants in this town.

I spent a week in Hornsby hospital (Australia) last year and lost five kilos - the food was so awful I just stopped eating. Cold boiled everything. Cold boiled pumpkin that was still frozen in the middle, served with cold boiled bean mash.

The day nurses were lovely and I was doped up on so much morphine I didn't care, and sure, losing weight was good, but I have never seen such awful food.

Argentina: this is matambre, a clasic dish from Argentina. A flan steak stuffed with carrots, hard boiled eggs, peas red bell peppers and grated cheese. The word matambre comes from mata hambre, literally "kill hunger"

The German "jelly" pack is actually remoulade- which is more or less spiced up mayo.

I am a nurse and I have my own conspiracy theory....The awful food and plastic sheets that make you sweat are a ploy to get your ass out of the hospital.

I'm aussie as well, and thats eggs (scrambled, cold) not rice. Breakfast is the only eddible meal they give you, because you can get cereal and toast (which will be cold) and fruit. also juice. Lunch and dinner... :( makes me sad.

LOL, the us is the only country on the list where you have to pay for the grub, almost every other country on the list has free healthcare, so the treatment and the food is completely free.

LOL, yeah, that's funny how we have to pay for GOOD healthcare, at the BEST hospitals, for the BEST doctors. And how, since we can choose our own doctors and treatment, can see the doctor whenever we want. Man that sucks! I wish we got crappy socialist medicine, that way I wouldn't have to do anything! Screw free will, who needs it! Right?
