It all depends on a hospital. My boss was with her daughter at a children’s hospital last week and they had enough food for a kid and an adult at the same time.
They treating her goooooooood (relatively).
Last time I was hospitalised, I was getting a cup of inedible, tasting like a burnt tire, porrige. Or 2 slices of bread and a bit of a strawberry marmalade.
One slice for each day. Eat reasonably.
I remember when I was ~13 and I had to spend few days in hospital. The face of the nurse when I asked her for some more butter can not be explained with words
An egg? That’s a luxury
It’s standard minimum Polish hospital breakfast (bread+jam+butter) with egg and red something as a bonus, I would call it a win – but I wouldn’t touch this red thing, that’s my rule never touch unidentified foods.
Breakfasts in Polish hospitals are bearable but dinners on the other side – that’s the real horror, imagine overcooked pasta (cooked without salt) with a piece of unidentifiable meat and some taseteless salad, it’s like you eating cardboard with weird texture.
Is this a complaint? If it is, I suggest you submit it to our e-mail system. We’ll be very happy to help you!
I will post up some pics. I will be in a well known Warsaw public hospital tomorrow 🤣
how did she get a gourmet option?!? O.O
What are those red shavings? Grated beetroot?
Did you bribe someone for that egg?
these are carbohydrates, fats and proteins. She even got some vegetables. It’s not THAT bad (the bar is low, I know)
Far better then what I used to have. I would only get a slice with jam. It may be because I was there with salmonellosis but still nonetheless…
Wow, a whole egg. Is it some premium service?
What’s the matter? Portion too big?
THREE SLICES OF BREAD! OMG JACKPOT!
Classic. Too much to die, not enough to escape.
Don’t get sick in Romania then. This looks great compared to what I was getting.
Remember that you’re in a state hospital in a not so rich post communist country. A lot of patients need food, there is not enough money to actually cook good stuff and most patients can’t even eat so the foods are based on the simplest easiest thing to digest for most if not all.
Doesn’t necessarily make it good, but it’s fairly understandable.
Egg?! Was there a budget increase since the last time i was at the hospital?
Fairly typical hospital food: bland shit that probably meets nutritional requirements but is so tasteless that if served in a POW camp it would likely constitute a war crime.
Typical food in Polish hospitals. Without help from the family, it is difficult to survive longer in hospital. Already Polish prisoners have better food and above all more.
Oh well, at least after she comes back home, she is not gonna receive thousands of dollars in hospital bills 😉
Eastern Europe hospital food just hits different
That’s why you always get food brought by familiy to the hospital.
It’s a tradition older then time itself.
Well I don’t want to be a party pooper here, but what did you expect? She got carbs in form of bread, great source of protein – a hardboiled egg, fat in butter and some sugar in marmalade and beetroot. Sure, it doesn’t look like much but this is what you need. There are also few things that need to be said when someone posts their horrible hospital meal:
1) You are treated for free. You won’t be billed tens of thousands of dollars for an operation and few days of laying in bed.
2) We live in a sick country where public health is underpaid and understaffed, hospitals are closing down as society ages and at the same time billions go to public TV that serves as propaganda tube for the ruling party. Also the inmates are treated way better in prisons than patients in hospitals, that’s another fucked up thing about this place.
3) Despite all this it’s getting better, believe me. I am in hospital every three months or so, and you wouldn’t believe the progress I’ve seen in the past 4 years. If you are in hospital once per ten years or once your whole life it may seem horrible. Our hospital staff and doctors do what they can (apart from some greedy fucks here and there, but that is a separate topic).
Ngl, this is one of the better “meals” I saw in one of our famous hospitals. Most of the times it’s just dry piece of bread with some of our famous “pasztet”

“may I offer you an egg in these trying times?”
