Hospital food bingo: patient posts photos of food asking people to guess the dish (UK)
Telegraph UK ^ | 9/16/09 | Richard Savill

A hospital patient has become so disgusted with the quality of food on his ward he has taken photographs of the meals and posted them on the internet inviting people to guess the dish.

WNS

So far the 47-year-old's followers have failed to correctly identify half of the meals featured on the Hospital Food Bingo board he has put on his blog website.

Along with the pictures, the patient, who identifies himself only at 'Traction Man' provides a daily review of the dishes he is served.

His blog, headed 'Notes from a Hospital bed', begins: "You lie here all day listening to the sounds of wonky trolleys being wheeled up and down the corridor while you stare at the blank screen of a TV that doesn't work and naturally your thoughts turn to food."

He stressed that his treatment in hospital had been "outstanding" and it was only the food he was complaining about.

He said: "The nursing and medical staff have been superb. It is just the private caterers that let the place down."

BARF ALERT! Is it just me or has tons of socialist propaganda started appearing on FR?

I'd consider the fact that the man is lying in a hospital bed dependent on those people to keep him alive.

Wait till he gets out and see what he says.

I worked at the VA. You think that menu’s tough. Try explaining to a blind diabetic veteran what that cr*p is on his plate after it has been pureed for a soft diet.

They don’t provide a menu and they puree EVERYTHING. I smelled some paste that smelled fishy and was told by another nurse that it was a fried fish sandwich...pureed. I was embarrassed to feed it to the guy.

More distressing than the food is that the TV doesn’t work!!!

Holy moly I’d be nuts if I had to just lay in bed and couldn’t even watch tv!

It’s racist to post a thread about pics without posting pics.

Hmm... Food that's cooked by someone else, paid for by someone else, brought to you in bed, all so you can heal up?

The way I was raised, complaining about that would be considered quite rude.

His blog links to another site that looks pretty Pro-Tory to me. It was a cursory look though.

Looks like creamed ham and potato with peas.

Unless that isn’t peas and ends up being two month old canned corn that’s been sitting open on the counter...

Hardly fair, British food already is pretty bland.

“His descriptions are hilarious”

I think British food brings that out. You can laugh or cry
