I spent a month as an inpatient 4 years ago, and overall the food was great (well, for a hospital). It was fresh, properly cooked, and looked and tasted good. My problem was I was on a low sodium diet due to heart failure, and the hospital kitchen didn’t seem to understand that some dishes are simply inedible when they’re not salted. Beef stew & rice, great. Pasta & tomato sauce, no problem. There are other spices in there to add flavor. And then once a week they’d serve chicken noodle soup, with no sodium of any kind in it.
