I did my best to work with what I had, and had friends bring in food from the outside (I wasn't on any restrictions) but I finally reached the end of my rope.

    ah, you should have spent 5 years at a british boarding school - after that, you will be able to eat and enjoy almost anything! the only things i really draw the line at are whelks and tripe. neither of which are normal hospital food.

  well, i sort of thought that those were implied by what i said (we all wanted to get away from the whole hospital vibe). but i have to say that all of the nurses in my extended stay were great, and not so noisy. a friend was working doing the catering there, and she said they did their best with limited resources - i had some ok meals. as i say, i really appreciate the nhs, tho perhaps not the bureaucracy.

  Been in NHS hospital a few years ago, food was fine, nurses were great (if horribly overworked).
