I spent one full day in a german hospital, and here's what I got. the first photo is the breakfast and dinner is the same also and second photo is the lunch. (the pasta has no proteins just to clarify)

Since it's my first time I want to know if it's normal or not.

Thanks

  3. Yes, that looks pretty accurate and normal.

    I wonder, what did you expect you’d get in a hospital? Fast Food? 3 course meals?

  5. Lol sadly very normal. After I had my baby they gave me soup with three carrot cubes in it two days in a row. I stated that I was allergic to carrots multiple times before. That pasta looks heavenly in comparison to anything else I‘ve seen in a hospital.

  6. Well, what’s your expecations? While it’s surely not superior restaraurant quality, to me, what I see from your pictures, looks fine.

    Looks simple, but fulfilling the purpose to help you get better soon without risking dietary restrictions or causing problems.

  7. The lunch looks alright. Tbh as a german I HATE eating bread for dinner. I want smth warm… but I also don’t really eat a big lunch. 

  8. In hospitals the world over, food as medicine is not really a thing. Often what’s offered is for economic reasons (for cheap efficient food options), with a goal to provide caloric sustenance not quality or nutrition.

    Secondly, food is very personal. yes, there are often cultural food norms, but often you cannot satisfy every palate.

  9. This looks like pretty much normal food 🍱, given that its being provided in hospital 🏥

  11. Yeah, this is nornal but tze noodles actually don’t look to bad for a change.

  13. When you are recovering in the hospital, a low protein diet is ideal. Protein is very inflammatory, the idea is not body building but low inflammation recovery.

  15. I could’ve seen the first image without any context and I’d immediately know it was German.

  16. What else would you expect, schnitzel with fries and mayo? What you get there is enough to survive.

  18. Why i don’t care for the breakfast, that pasta looks good and potions is decent too.

  22. It’s same I eat almost everyday as a single living master student.

  23. I spent in total roughly 4 weeks in German Hospitals over the last 3 years. And yes this is normal. Typically, there is some variation. All in all, i think Hospital food is fine in Germany. Not great, but definitely good.

  24. Well, it’s not too shabby but yeah, what do we expect. It’s good food but you can feel the efficiency
