If hospitals are supposed to help you get well, then they ought to be doing this in every single way possible. From making the surroundings warm and welcoming to providing you nutritious, wholesome, and homely meals so you can get your strength back as fast as possible. Unfortunately, you Pandas and I all know that this isn’t the case. Hospital food is absolutely horrid in a huge number of hospitals. And, frankly, we deserve better.
We wanted to show you just how bad hospital food can get all over the world, so our hard-working team at Bored Panda compiled this list that’s bound to make you angry like professional chef Gordon Ramsay. Remember to upvote the best of the worst photos and let us know what the food was like during your most recent stay at the hospital.
The reason why hospital food is so bad and so banal it hurts is because of money. Or rather, the lack of it. And let’s not forget the fact that often hospitals don’t even make the food that they serve to patients and the staff members themselves; they outsource it. As you’re about to find out, there are quite a few things that look as lonely on a plate as two tiny sausages with some parsley.
I wanted an insider’s perspective, so I reached out to Holly D., a labor and delivery nurse. She told Bored Panda that she’s experienced hospital as a patient as well and was very let down by it. “I have been in a patient role in the not-so-distant past and have experienced the dreaded hospital food tray. This often leads the patient to request family members to drop off alternate food to them at the hospital. For me, it was disappointing, to say the least, after laboring and finally delivering my first child,” she said. Have a read through her in-depth insights on how to fix hospital food below, dear Pandas.

A good guess might be “depression”, but actually, it was some sort of cow paste (it immediately fell apart, it was basically the consistency of mousse) in paprika sauce, mashed potato, and mushy pea purée.
