I've no doubt the French are sending invoices for her health care and grub.

Actually in Vincent's the vegetable curry was the only partially edible thing because the curry was beautifully hot, just to my taste.

It's a good job there aren't more pressing issues with our shambolic health service.

Passion and Pride goes into every gallon of tapioca and steamed cabbage.

A chef in the Rotunda....I would say lots of buns in ovens there....

Furze99

De Beacon menu must be sponsored by Bord Bia or the Dairy Council, IFA etc.

Kill off all the vegies and other nuts.

Seriously, it is the major issue with our health service...really.

When you are in for long haul, meals really do make a difference. Even tiny tasty morsels are really encouraging of the appetite. It makes a huge difference in the case of serious illness.

Dan Jaman

But I want mine served on an individually monogrammed plate.

There is definitely something to be said for on site catering I would say.

I worked in a government department that had an on site canteen, it was subsidised (but not massively) big massive home cooked things like shepherds pie, lasagne, curry...amazing...I put on about a stone

Atlantic Dawn

I've probably spent about 3 days of my life in hospital for minor stuff, I recall it was like being in the military, you were pretty much expected to be awake around 7am.

The best soup is in orthopaedic hospitals...........(apparently they have a plentiful supply of bones).

They have to check you aren't dead.

If not you, the old boy next to you might have snored his last.

private and public hospital food

I am guessing it is a bit like economy versus first class on a plane? Bigger budget to play with I suppose.

Thankfully only time in hospital overnight was about 20 years ago, literally so out of it no idea what food was like...it was in Antrim hospital which is a bit of a kip

readyletsgo

Jesus Christ! Why more important things they could be talking about. I'm out.

The last time I was in hospital, I was so off me tits on painkillers, I don't even know what I was fed.

Some of the criticism seems a little unfair. If you're getting greasy food in hospital, it's probably because you need a lot of calories for recovery. It isn't the kind of food you should be ordinarily eating.

Anyone who tells you the most important person in the hospital is the patient, is lying. It's the consultant, and all the way down the staffing grades. The patient had better be awake and alert and had their bowel movements and breakfasts done ready for the the consultants' rounds.

Can't comment on the mighty Beacon but spent a couple of days in Vincent's once - there's was loads of space as it was a ward with half a dozen other poor sods! Can't recall anything of the food as I wasn't exactly hungry.

You simply can't digest Vincent's food though.
