I have never stayed in hospital but this morning I was watching a tv programme about hospital food. It looks really awful 
Have you been in hospital, if so, how was the food?
Hospital food - it's enough to make you sick
Thick, salty soup with the texture of wallpaper paste; a pie crust, hiding a serving of mechanically recovered 'meat' and dry mash. Is this the best patients can hope for?

Thick, salty soup that looks like wallpaper paste, clearly made from artificially flavoured powder; a chicken-and-ham pie boasting a crust with all the texture of furniture foam and none of the flavour; inside, a meagre serving of misshapen, mechanically recovered 'meat' and a white sauce that is as claggy as the soup; dry mashed potato; over-cooked cabbage; a brick of cake with custard served cold.
It's enough to make you sick. Or it would have been for Poppy Lloyd, a 26-year-old radio journalist, if she hadn't been so sick already. Confined in the isolation ward of a central London hospital a few months ago, she was at the mercy of the hospital caterers. And they showed her none.
